How many speakers are in a Subaru Impreza?

Typically six speakers, with an eight-speaker premium option on certain trims and model years. This article explains current configurations across recent Impreza models and what to check when shopping.


Standard speaker count across recent Impreza models


By trim and year


The default Impreza audio setup most buyers encounter is a six‑speaker system. This configuration is common across the base and mid trims, including standard infotainment integration and basic sound shaping features.



  • Base and Premium trims: 6 speakers.

  • Limited and Sport trims: 6 speakers as standard, with potential upgrades via packages or options depending on the year and market.


In practice, six speakers are the norm for current Impreza configurations, though exact offerings can vary by model year and regional market.


Premium audio options and availability


Availability by year and market


For buyers seeking more immersive sound, a premium audio option is available on some Impreza models. When offered, this upgrade increases the speaker count beyond the standard six, commonly marketed as a Harman Kardon or similarly branded system in selected trims and regions.



  • Eight-speaker premium systems are available on certain trims or packages in specific model years and markets.

  • The availability and exact speaker count vary by year, trim level, and geographic region.


If a higher speaker count is important, verify the exact audio configuration for the particular vehicle year and market you’re considering, as it is not universally included across all Impreza models.


What to check when buying


When shopping, consult the window sticker or the dealer’s specification sheet to confirm the exact audio setup for the model year and trim you’re interested in. If you require a specific number of speakers or a premium audio package, state this clearly during the negotiation or ordering process.


Summary


Most Subaru Impreza models come with a six‑speaker audio system as standard, with an eight‑speaker premium option available on select trims and model years. Because configurations can vary by year and market, always confirm the exact specification for the vehicle you’re considering.
