Subaru today took the wraps off the new, sixth-generation Impreza at the LA Auto Show. Coming for the 2024 model year, the automaker is killing the sedan variant as well as the manual gearbox option, but brings back the 2.5 RS model for the first time since 2005.

As expected, the new car shares much in common with its stablemate, the Crosstrek. The new front fascia and overall design are highly reminiscent of the crossover with its hexagonal grille, the trim bar that connects the headlights, and its silhouette.

Underneath, the new Impreza will be 10 percent stiffer than the model it replaces and will benefit from an improved, symmetrical all-wheel-drive system. Under the hood, meanwhile, Subaru has once again turned to the four-cylinder boxer engine.

For 2024, though, it will be offered in two displacements. The most exciting will be the 2.5-liter boxer engine, which brings with it the return of the RS nameplate. Back in America for the first time since 2005, the new model will make 182 hp (136 kW/185 PS) and 178 lb-ft (241 Nm) of torque, Subaru has revealed.

The Impreza RS is the highest-performance model in the range and, in addition to the bigger engine, will get a sport tuned suspension, bigger brakes, special 18-inch dark gray alloy wheels, black trim pieces, aluminum pedals, upgraded LED headlights, black cloth seats, and a luxurious 10-speaker Harman Kardon audio system.

For those looking for performance at a lower price point, the 2024 Subaru Impreza Sport will match the sport tuned suspension, the bigger brakes, and the 18-inch alloy wheels with the standard 2.0-liter engine, which makes 152 hp (113 kW/154 PS) and 145 lb-ft (197 Nm) of torque. It will also get blind spot detection, rear cross traffic alert, keyless entry, remote start, and special driving modes tuned for performance and fuel efficiency.

The base Impreza, meanwhile, will come with Subaru’s Eyesight driver assistance features and automatic emergency braking as standard in 2024. The car will also be available with integrated roof rack mounting points to help owners haul more.

No matter which engine you choose, the Impreza will come with only one transmission, Subaru’s Lineartronic CVT as the Japanese brand has dropped the five-speed manual box. For the Sport and RS models, though, the transmission will feature a special “manual” mode with eight selectable “gears” to help drivers feel more in control.

All versions of the car also get the dual-pinion electronic power steering rack from the fifth-generation WRX. It offers a more direct and natural steering feel and greater responsiveness, according to Subaru.

Inside, Subaru promises new, more supportive seats, as well as more in-cabin storage. The rear seats, meanwhile, will fold down into a 60/40 split for flexible convenience. The climate control system is now smarter, too, and will focus on warming or cooling only those seats that occupied for better fuel economy and comfort.

The 11.6-inch infotainment system is installed in the portrait orientation and offers owners wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, all of which comes as standard on the RS and Sport models.

Finally, Subaru wants to maintain the Impreza’s reputation for safety, and it will, therefore, be offered with Starlink Safety and Security Connected Services. This adds emergency assistance, roadside assistance, a monthly vehicle health report, security alarm notifications, automatic emergency braking, and more to the car.

Subaru says that the new, sixth-generation Impreza will start arriving at dealerships in the spring of 2023. Pricing will be announced closer to that date.
