2024 Subaru Impreza: 2022 Los Angeles Auto Show

Revealed today at the 2022 Los Angeles Auto Show, the redesigned 2024 Subaru Impreza is noteworthy for what it gains, and for what it loses. Gone is an available manual transmission, and more significantly a sedan variant. Returning for 24 is the sporty RS trim level. An RS version of the...

I've grown to really like the little Impreza. It's slow af and has a CVT, but the car is great to drive around the most densely populated state in the nation, especially in bad weather. It's extremely reliable too.

I'd be interested in the RS. I like the new look.

Starting to look an awful lot like a Cruze. I love Subies but they’ve definitely lost their quirky appearance, which has always been part of their allure to me.

Hard to understand why someone would buy an Impreza over a Crosstrek. One the other hand its hard to understand why someone would buy a Crosstrek over a Forester. Oh well.

Test drove base IMPREZA 5 door with the C.V.T. few years ago and wasn't all that impressed . Heard rattles from dash . At $22,000+ you'd expect better .

Hard to understand why someone would buy an Impreza over a Crosstrek.

Lots of people agree with you; the Crosstrek outsells the Impreza by about 5-to-1 most months.

My co-worker bought an Impreza instead of a Crosstrek because he
and wanted to save a few bucks. That was the only reason.

for a 20 grand car with AWD there is nothing else like it.

I took it one more step, and got the Outback....
I would get the Impreza before the Crosstrek, but we already have a soft roader. Probably we would've got the Legacy wagon if it existed. IMO giving a vehicle a 1" lift and some black plastic around the wheels and bumpers isn't worth the $3k+ extra manufacturers charge.... But clearly I'm in the minority in N.A.

I took a look at it today at the auto show. Incredibly underwhelming. Design aesthetic says “let’s be milquetoast.”

Nothing Subaru, Honda, or Nissan was doing suggested innovation or improvement. Same ol’ same old.

Chevy had a fancy display pushing EV but with the same crappy interior treatments.

Hyundai of all companies was bringing the heat with the Ionic 5 and 6.

I'm not really shopping (guess sorta window shopping) but I have found myself wondering what more I'd get for the extra $2.5K from a base Crosstrek versus a base (wagon) Impreza.

Snoozefest

My family recently purchased a 2023 base Impreza as a third vehicle. I have to admit that I really like it, especially for in-town driving.

Planet Subaru has a good summary of what the extra $2.5K gets you:

Look like a Toyota Corolla hatch.

Another manual transmission offering bites the dust. It looks like if you want a new Subaru with a manual it's the wrx or crosstrek. Interestingly enough Subaru added the 6-speed manual to the crosstrek.

Honestly I don't get all the CVT hate. The one in our 2019 Outback isn't bad at all and I've come to actually like it...
