2026 Subaru Impreza Lease Deals Now Available

The Subaru Impreza has always filled a unique spot in the brand’s lineup. It’s the most affordable way into a Subaru, and the only compact hatchback in its class with standard all-wheel drive. That single feature sets it apart, especially for drivers who deal with unpredictable weather or rough roads. For 2026, Subaru trimmed the lineup down to just the Sport and RS models. The starting price is a bit higher now, but both versions come better equipped out of the box.

Practicality is still the Impreza’s strong suit. The cabin is roomy, the controls are simple, and Subaru’s EyeSight safety tech comes standard. The big 11.6-inch touchscreen brings a modern touch to an otherwise straightforward interior.

If you’re more interested in flexibility than long-term ownership, Subaru’s December lease deals are now up. These offers make it easy to get into a new Impreza without a big commitment. You can also compare the latest 2026 lease deals with the remaining 2025 offers to see which fits your budget best.

Subaru’s Lease Deals for December

Most of Subaru’s December lease deals are advertised with a 36-month term – a sweet spot for reasonable monthly payments and mileage limits. This month’s offer is for the 2026 Impreza Sport, but if you’re looking to keep monthly costs down, some dealers still have 2025 models available at a lower price.

TrimMonthly PaymentLease TermDue at SigningAnnual Mileage
Impreza Sport (2026)$28936 months$2,88910,000 miles

The current lease offer on Subaru’s website runs until January 2, 2026, and is open to well-qualified buyers who take delivery from dealer stock. Subaru says other terms and trims might be available, but the 36-month lease is the longest one it’s advertising right now. For reference, you can still find a 2025 Impreza lease at $205 a month if you act fast, but those are getting harder to find as inventory thins out.

You’ll find these Impreza lease deals at participating Subaru dealers, but final pricing depends on your location, taxes, and credit approval. If you’re set on leasing an Impreza, double-check what’s available in your area, since incentives can vary by ZIP code.

2026 Subaru Impreza Highlights

Leasing is usually all about the numbers, but the Impreza stands out for what you get across the board. Both Impreza trims use the same platform and drivetrain, with the main differences being power and a few extra features.

Notable highlights include:

  • Standard all-wheel drive across the entire lineup
  • Two naturally aspirated flat-four engines: 152 hp (Sport) or 180 hp (RS)
  • Continuously variable automatic transmission as the sole gearbox option
  • 11.6-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

The Sport trim is aimed at buyers who want value and good fuel economy. The RS steps things up with a bit more power and extras like an optional Harman/Kardon sound system. It’s not the quickest car in its class – rivals like the Honda Civic and Mazda3 are faster – but the Impreza makes up for it with sure-footed handling and all-weather confidence.

Final Thoughts

The 2026 Subaru Impreza isn’t trying to be a performance car or a luxury ride, and that’s intentional. It’s built to be dependable, easy to live with, and ready for conditions where front-wheel-drive cars might get stuck. In a class filled with more popular nameplates, the Impreza is remarkable for giving you standard all-wheel drive without forcing you into a crossover.

If you care more about practicality and flexibility, leasing an Impreza is a smart way to keep your monthly costs steady without worrying about long-term ownership.
