2022 Impreza trim level differences

The 2022 Subaru Impreza is available as a sedan or a four-door hatchback. Features are generally the same for both body styles. The four trims available are the base, Premium, Sport and Limited. For 2022, the Limited trim level is only available in the four-door hatchback body style.

Base
The Impreza starts out with:

  • 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (152 horsepower, 145 lb-ft)
  • Five-speed manual transmission or continuously variable automatic (CVT)
  • All-wheel drive
  • 16-inch steel wheels with wheel covers
  • Cruise control
  • Cloth upholstery
  • Power windows and door locks
  • 6.5-inch touchscreen
  • Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone compatibility
  • Four-speaker stereo with a single USB port
  • 60/40-split fold-down rear seat

Premium
Has some more desirable equipment such as:

  • Selectable drive modes (Subaru's SI-Drive; adjusts throttle response and powertrain characteristics)

  • Roof rails
  • Upgraded suspension for more stable handling

Subaru's EyeSight suite of driver aids is available on the base Impreza and standard on the Premium and above. It includes:

  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Subaru and the car in front)
  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Rear automatic braking (brakes if sensors detect an imminent collision with an object behind the vehicle)
  • Lane keeping assist (steers the Impreza back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)

Sport
Gets you a sportier take on the Impreza with:

  • 18-inch alloy wheels with wider tires
  • Sport tuning for the suspension and all-wheel-drive system
  • Keyless entry and push-button start
  • Upgraded interior trim
  • Short-throw shifter (manual-transmission models only)
  • 8-inch touchscreen

Limited

  • Standard CVT
  • LED headlights
  • Automatic climate control
  • Leather upholstery
  • Power-adjustable driver's seat
  • Automatic climate control
  • Blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert (warns you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while reversing)

Premium and Sport trims are also available with blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert and a sunroof. Sport and Limited models have the option of a sunroof and a Harman Kardon audio system that includes a navigation system.

Which 2022 Impreza trim does Edmunds recommend?

While the base Impreza is relatively well equipped, the Premium trim adds several desirable features, including heated front seats and Subaru's EyeSight suite of driver safety aids, without a substantial price increase.
