Subaru Impreza at LA Auto Show 30 Years Later
Click for more information.
Subaru of America will globally show the sixth-generation 2024 Impreza at the Los Angeles Auto Show. The 5-door hatchback arrives at Subaru retailers this spring.
The Impreza debuted 30 years ago at the 1992 Los Angeles Auto Show as a compact car with optional Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. Impreza was the only vehicle at the time to offer all-wheel drive, albeit as an option long before the Subaru WRX performance car appeared with rally racing championships spanning four decades supporting it.

The Base and Sport trims are equipped with a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder direct-injection SUBARU BOXER engine rated at 152-hp and 145 lb.-ft. of torque. The new RS has a 2.5-liter BOXER engine delivering 182 hp and 178 lb.-ft. of torque. Standard on all trim levels is a Lineartronic CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission). The Sport and RS trims have an 8-speed manual mode with steering wheel paddle shifters that allow the driver to control the transmission via eight pre-set ratios.

In a competitive field, perhaps the most notable tweak is an 11.6-inch SUBARU STARLINK® center information display is optional for the first time. It comes with wireless Apple CarPlay® and wireless Android™ Auto. The system also has on-screen controls for audio, climate, and vehicle features.
Standard on all 2024 Impreza models is the latest version of the award-winning EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology. The enhanced system operates smoother, faster, and under a greater range of conditions. These improvements are thanks to a wider field of view, updated control software, and the addition of an electric brake booster. EyeSight can now identify bicycles and pedestrians at intersections sooner and, when necessary, alerts the driver and applies brakes to avoid collisions.
Automatic Emergency Steering is included on models equipped with Blind-Spot Detection with Lane Keep Assist and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert. It works with EyeSight and Blind-Spot Detection to assist with steering control to help avoid a collision at speeds less than 50 mph.
