The all-new 2024 Subaru Impreza has been unveiled at the 2022 Los Angeles Auto Show. As the sixth generation of the famed Impreza line of the Japanese brand, it will now come as a 5-door hatchback sans the sedan. Three trims have been announced, Base, Sport, and the new RS.

We think standing up to watch the mechanics do their thing or simply lay back and wait to be surprised as to what your car is ailing from.
