The Subaru Impreza 2023 draws on this range's rich history and longevity in the market to make it a firm competitor for those who want adventure and rely on four-wheel drive to do it. The 2023 range offers hatchback and sedan options and the choice between manual or automatic continuously variable transmission (CVT). Drivers have the option between seven trims in the 2023 range.

Base Sedan


2022 Subaru Impreza

A 2.0L DOHC engine is a good place to start for the Subaru Impreza 2023 base sedan. With a starting MSRP of $19,795, it's well priced compared to entry-level cars. It features the Subaru symmetrical all-wheel drive, vehicle dynamics control, and traction control system for better handling on tough terrain.

The manual transmission version sports a fuel economy of 23 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway. These numbers can go up to 28 mpg in the city and 36 mpg on the highway for CVT models. It boasts a roomy interior with cloth seats and a multifunction display. The exterior has body-color door handles and roof crossbar mounting points.

On the entertainment side, there's the SUBARU STARLINK 6.5-inch Multimedia system. It effortlessly integrates with smart devices that work with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

You also have access to Subaru safety features, such as the rear-vision camera that makes backing up simple. The model also includes several airbags, including curtain and driver's knee airbags.

Base 5-Door

While the five-door base model doesn't have the trunk space that the sedan does, it makes up for it with a flirty roof spoiler, which means a starting MSRP of $20,295. It also offers some of Subaru's best base model features — which it shares with the sedan — such as the Standard EyeSight Driver Assist Technology designed to keep you and your passengers safe. A handy feature of the five-door model is the cargo area with two grocery bag hooks and four tie-down hooks.

Premium Sedan

While the basic features are on par with those offered in the base sedan and 5-door models, the premium trim also happens to offer the Subaru Intelligent Drive (SI-DRIVE) with the CVT models. You also have access to 4G LTE Wi-Fi capability, and service plans can be purchased through AT&T.

This trim pulls out some additional safety features worth looking at, such as the SUBARU STARLINK Safety and Security system. With this system, you have access to notification features such as:

  • Automatic Collision Notification
  • SOS Emergency Assistance
  • Enhanced Roadside Assistance
  • Maintenance Notifications
  • Monthly Vehicle Health Report
  • Diagnostic Alerts
  • Remote Engine Start with Climate Control
  • Remote Lock/Unlock
  • Concierge services

If you want a vehicle that can handle tough terrain and navigate adverse weather conditions, this trim might be it, as it features heated front seats and exterior mirrors and offers a windshield de-icer.

This trim has a moonroof option that includes an ultraviolet (UV) filter, which allows in as much light as possible but reduces the exposure to UV rays compared to normal window glass.

While the base models feature SUBARU STARLINK 6.5-inch Multimedia, this trim offers the Plus version, which includes a CD player and access to SiriusXM satellite radio. You simply link your existing SiriusXM subscription (or sign up for a new one), and you're good to go. It has a starting MSRP of $23,195.

Premium 5-Door

The premium sedan and premium five-door offer pretty much the same features at a starting MSRP of $23,695. Something worth noting about the premium five-door, however, is that it also features raised roof rails and a roof spoiler.

Sport Sedan

Subaru added some pressure to the metal, resulting in a satisfying sports model that looks good on the outside with 18-inch alloy wheels featuring a black-with-machine-finish look. The all-season tires make this trim an obvious choice for those seeking adventure in all weather conditions. The trunk spoiler and body-color side rocker spoilers complete the look.

While the engine size is still the same as the base and premium models, it has a slightly higher starting MSRP of $24,595 as it features active torque vectoring, which offers a powerful boost to the engine.

If you opt for the all-weather package, it includes front-seat warmers. It also features sports upholstery with contrasting stitching in red. You also get alloy-covered pedals and a color multifunction display, and the instrument cluster includes a speedometer and tachometer.

One neat feature is the keyless access with a push-button start and a PIN code for access. Your passengers will thank you as this trim includes dual rear USB-A charging ports. The center console features an armrest lid, and the glove box is lockable. It features SUBARU STARLINK 8-inch Multimedia Plus and six speakers for maximum entertainment.

Sport 5-Door

There are no noticeable differences between the sport five-door and the sport sedan other than a different starting MSRP of $23,995 and the obvious physical difference between a hatchback and a sedan.

Limited 5-Door

While the engine is still the same, and there are no big variances in what happens under the hood across the trims, Subaru has saved all the special features for the interior and exterior of the limited five-door edition.

This trim has 17-inch aluminum alloy wheels in dark gray with a machine finish and all-weather tires. If you opt for the all-weather option, it includes a windshield wiper de-icer, heated side mirrors, and heated front seats. The side mirrors are body-colored, and this trim features chrome door handles. As with the other sports models, there are raised roof rails and a roof spoiler.

The interior features leather-trimmed upholstery and a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter handle. Passengers in the back also enjoy a foldable rear-seat armrest with dual cupholders. It also includes an automatic climate control system to keep the temperature at the most comfortable levels.

Some safety features include Blind-Spot Detection with Lane Change Assist and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert along with Reverse Automatic Braking. It's also got a higher price tag with a starting MSRP of $27,395.
