Used 2023 Subaru Impreza Hatchback Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2023 Subaru Impreza is available as a four-door sedan or a four-door hatchback. Four trim levels are available: Base, Premium, Sport and Limited. Subaru restricts Limited trim to the hatchback body style. All 2023 Imprezas have a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (152 horsepower, 145 lb-ft) and standard all-wheel drive. A five-speed manual transmission comes standard on the Base (both sedan and hatchback) and the Sport hatchback, and a continuously variable transmission (CVT) is available. The Premium, Sport sedan and Limited use the CVT.

Base
The most affordable version of the Impreza comes with:

  • 16-inch steel wheels with wheel covers
  • Power exterior mirrors
  • Remote keyless entry
  • Air conditioning
  • Tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel
  • Cruise control
  • Power windows and door locks
  • Cloth upholstery
  • Carpeted floor mats
  • Height-adjustable driver's seat
  • 60/40-split fold-down rear seat
  • 6.5-inch touchscreen infotainment system
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone compatibility
  • Four-speaker stereo with a single USB port

Add the optional CVT, and the base Impreza also includes a rear-seat reminder (alerts you to check the rear seat before exiting the vehicle) and Subaru's EyeSight package of driver assist technologies.

EyeSight 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)
  • Lane departure mitigation (warns you of a lane departure when a turn signal isn't used and can automatically steer to maintain lane position)

Premium
Our recommended trim level includes a CVT, EyeSight and these features:

  • 16-inch alloy wheels
  • Upgraded suspension for more stable handling
  • Selectable drive modes (Subaru's SI-Drive; adjusts throttle response and powertrain characteristics)
  • Automatic headlights
  • Foglights
  • Heated exterior mirrors
  • Heated windshield wiper de-icer
  • Roof rails (hatchback only)
  • Remote engine start
  • Heated front seats
  • Satellite radio
  • Starlink connected services with Wi-Fi access
  • Extra USB port
  • Six-speaker stereo with single CD player

Sport
For a hint of athleticism, the Impreza Sport adds:

  • 18-inch alloy wheels with wider tires
  • Short-throw shifter (manual-transmission hatchback only)
  • Sport suspension tuning
  • Brake-induced torque vectoring system
  • Rear spoiler
  • Keyless entry with push-button start
  • Upgraded interior trim
  • Sport cloth seats with red stitching
  • 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with voice controls

Limited
The top-of-the-line Limited trim comes only as a hatchback and has:

  • 17-inch alloy wheels
  • Automatic climate control
  • Remote climate control activation
  • Leather upholstery
  • Power-adjustable driver's seat

Added safety features include:

  • Adaptive LED headlights (swivel as you turn the steering wheel for better illumination in curves)
  • Automatic high-beam headlights
  • 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)
  • Rear automatic braking (brakes if sensors detect an imminent collision with an object behind the vehicle)

Premium and Sport trims are available with blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, a power driver's seat and a sunroof. Sport models can be optioned with these features plus a Harman Kardon audio system. You can upgrade the Impreza Limited with a sunroof, Harman Kardon sound and a navigation system.

Which Impreza trim does Edmunds recommend?

If you're seeking the best bang for your buck, we recommend the Impreza Premium in the practical hatchback configuration. The Premium adds infotainment system upgrades and comfort features for cold weather, and it's your ticket to an available blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert that warns you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while you're in reverse.
