2026 Subaru Impreza

The Impreza lineup has been scaled back for 2026, with the base edition vanishing to leave just a pair of trims. It’s still sold exclusively as a five-door hatchback with standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and continues to be the automaker’s most affordable passenger car.

As far as noteworthy mechanical changes, the RS gets a revised engine with improved low-end torque, and a new idle shutoff feature will turn the engine off after 30 minutes of idling to help reduce fuel use. Driver-assist technology also moves forward, as Subaru’s latest EyeSight system is now standard. Plus, on Imprezas equipped with blind-spot monitoring, automatic emergency steering is part of the bundle. On an aesthetic note, Citron Yellow Pearl joins the paint lineup this model year.
