Subaru has revived the Impreza’s base trim for 2027, lowering the model’s starting price.
The 2027 Impreza will now start at $25,840.
The Subaru Impreza RS, the only other trim, starts at $30,740.

Last year, Subaru eliminated the base Impreza and made the Impreza Sport more expensive. The move effectively increased the hatchback’s starting price by over $3,000, but the automaker is reviving the cheaper trim for 2027.

The Impreza will now cost $25,840 (all prices include the $1,245 destination charge, up $50 from last year). That makes the 2027 model $1,950 cheaper to start. The only other trim Subaru is offering is the Impreza RS, which starts at $30,740, $50 more than last year.

The 2027 Impreza lineup no longer includes the Sport trim. This previously sat between the base and RS trims back in 2024 before becoming the entry-level trim for 2025. It has a $27,790 starting price for 2026.

Model 2027 Price (w dest) 2026 Price (w/ dest) Price Difference Impreza (Base) $25,840 N/A -$1,950 Impreza Sport N/A $27,790 N/A Impreza RS $30,740 $30,690 $50

The base Impreza comes wearing 17-inch dark gray wheels. Inside, buyers get a 7.0-inch infotainment screen with wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It has USB-A and USB-C charging ports, cloth seats, and dual-zone climate control.
