Jones Bel Air Subaru - 2026 Subaru Impreza RS — AWD Hatchback Confidence for Baltimore, MD, Commuters

If your daily drive demands surefooted control, engaging power, and modern connectivity without extra hassle, the 2026 Subaru Impreza RS makes a compelling case. This trim’s signature 2.5-liter 180-horsepower SUBARU BOXER® engine supplies eager acceleration, while sport-tuned suspension tuning helps the RS carve through on-ramps and city streets with confidence. Standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive works quietly in the background, optimizing traction on wet pavement, winter slush, or uneven surfaces. Inside, the 11.6-inch Subaru Multimedia Plus touchscreen places wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration front and center, so podcasts, playlists, and navigation are just a tap away. Every RS also layers in comfort and convenience with heated front seats, a windshield wiper de-icer, and heated side mirrors that are invaluable during cold snaps around the Inner Harbor or along I-83.

Design details set the RS apart. Exclusive 18-inch dark gray-finish alloy wheels, RS Cloth upholstery with red accents and contrast stitching, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter handle, and aluminum-alloy pedal covers form a cohesive performance ambiance. Day-to-day practicality remains a highlight thanks to generous cargo space behind the rear seats, easy-fold 60/40 rear seatbacks, and standard roof crossbar mounting points for bikes, skis, or a cargo box. Active-safety tech bolsters peace of mind: EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology is standard, and the RS adds Blind-Spot Detection with Lane Change Assist, Emergency Lane Keep Assist, and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert. Available Harman Kardon® premium audio and an available power driver’s seat round out a trim that feels purpose-built for commuters who appreciate a little extra thrill with their morning coffee.
