Subaru adds Limited trim to the Impreza for 2012, holds base-model price

Subaru is keeping base-model prices the same for the 2012 Impreza, starting at $18,245 with destination, and is adding a Limited model to the lineup.

The Impreza 2.0i Limited model starts at $22,345 for the four-door version and $22,845 for the five-door.

The base-model four-door Impreza 2.0i still comes standard with five-speed manual transmission. The CVT adds $1,000 to the sticker.

A step up to the four-door 2.0i Premium costs $19,545, while the five-door Premium starts at $20,045.

The Impreza 2.0i Sport Premium starts at $21,045, and that's available only in the five-door body style. A new Sport Limited model also is available.

Changes to the Impreza this year include a smaller 2.0-liter engine that makes 148 hp and gets an EPA-estimated 27 mpg in the city and 36 mpg on the highway.

The 2012 Impreza lineup will land in dealerships this November.
