The 2024 Subaru Impreza RS is already turning heads with its impressive performance, sleek design, and cutting-edge technology. But what if we told you that this vehicle has some hidden features that you might not be aware of? In this blog post, we’ll delve into five surprising features of the 2024 Subaru Impreza RS that you might have missed.

Qi-Enabled Wireless Charging Pad

The Impreza RS comes equipped with a Qi-enabled wireless charging pad located conveniently within the cabin. This feature allows you to charge your smartphone without the hassle of cords and cables. However, what sets Subaru apart is its safety-conscious design. The charging pad has a power button that you can manually turn on or off. This prevents any non-compatible items like keys or paperclips from coming into contact with the charging coils, eliminating potential safety hazards.

Quick and Easy Auto Start-Stop Engine Control

Auto start-stop engines can be a bit of a nuisance for some drivers. Fortunately, Subaru has introduced a quick and easy way to disable this feature on the Impreza RS. Simply navigate to the home screen and look for the “Auto Start-Stop Engine” button. A simple tap of this button will deactivate the system, giving you a smoother driving experience.

Valet Mode

Valet mode is a handy feature for those times when you need to leave your vehicle in someone else’s care, like at a restaurant or hotel. Subaru’s Impreza RS includes a Valet Mode that allows you to protect your settings and privacy. To activate it, simply enter a PIN code of your choice. While in Valet Mode, access to certain features, such as the radio and phone, will be restricted. This feature ensures that your vehicle remains secure and your settings remain intact when you’re not behind the wheel.

Customizable Keyless Entry System

The Impreza RS offers a customizable keyless entry system that allows you to tailor it to your specific needs. You can choose whether you want only the driver’s door or all doors to unlock when using the keyless access. This flexibility ensures that your vehicle’s entry system aligns with your preferences. Additionally, you can enable or disable the hazard lights from flashing when using keyless access.

One Touch Lane Changer

Switching lanes on the highway just got more convenient with Subaru’s “One Touch Lane Changer.” This feature allows you to change lanes with a single tap of your turn signal stalk. No more need to click it up or down repeatedly. It’s a small but helpful feature that enhances your driving experience.

Mountain Range Design

Subaru has added a delightful touch to the rear of the Impreza RS. On the bumper guard, you’ll find a mountain range design appliqué, accompanied by a tiny icon representing your vehicle. This subtle detail pays homage to Subaru’s adventurous spirit and love for the great outdoors. You’ll also find a similar mountainous pattern on the door sills and in the cup holders, tying the interior and exterior design elements together.

The 2024 Subaru Impreza RS not only offers exceptional performance and style but also comes with a host of hidden features that enhance your driving experience. From the convenient wireless charging pad to the safety-conscious auto start-stop engine control, Subaru has thoughtfully integrated these features to make your time behind the wheel even more enjoyable. So, the next time you’re in your Impreza RS, be sure to explore these hidden gems and make the most of your driving experience.
