Subaru Impreza 5th Gen

The 5th generation Impreza, sold from 2017 to 2023, was the first vehicle built on the new Subaru Global Platform. This platform significantly increased structural rigidity, which improved crash safety and ride quality. It continued Subaru's tradition of standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and used a direct-injected version of the 2.0-liter FB20 boxer engine, producing 152 hp. It was offered as a 4-door sedan and a 5-door hatchback across Base, Premium, Sport, and Limited trims.

As a modern, mass-produced economy car, the standard Impreza isn't considered a collectible. Its appeal lies in its reputation for reliability, safety, and all-weather capability, making it a popular choice for a daily driver. While the Sport trim offers slightly sharper handling and aesthetics, it doesn't have the performance pedigree of its WRX and STI relatives. The market for these cars is based on practicality and utility, not enthusiast demand.

With an average sale price of around $18,000, the 5th-gen Impreza's value is typical of a depreciating used car. The wide price range reflects the difference between early, high-mileage examples and nearly new, top-trim models from the final year of production. Values are determined almost entirely by age, mileage, trim, and overall condition.

Prices range from $2,000 for early or high-mileage cars to $37,500 for recent, top-spec variants.
