NHTSA's dynamic test put this vehicle's rollover probability at 9.3% in a single-vehicle crash — the figure behind the rollover star rating, published here because the star alone hides how wide each band is.

How this compares
At 30 MPG combined, the 2024 Subaru Impreza ranks 1st of 4 small station wagons EPA rated for 2024 — exactly the 30 MPG median for that group.
That places it among the thirstiest vehicles in its class. If annual mileage is high, the running-cost gap against a class-average rival compounds quickly.
EPA puts annual fuel spend at about $2,050, within $0 of the $2,050 typical for the class — roughly $10,250 over five years.
Tailpipe CO₂ is 297 grams per mile — about 4.5 metric tons over 15,000 miles of driving.
