Subaru has announced pricing for the 2011 Subaru Impreza models, with the new range consisting of the 2.5i, 2.5i Premium and Impreza Outback Sport, as well as the new widebody Impreza WRX and WRX STI models.

The well-equipped Impreza 2.5i maintains an aggressive starting price of $17,495, with the five-door available at $17,995. All naturally-aspirated Imprezas come with Subaru's 2.5-liter SOHC horizontally-opposed boxer engine with i-Active Valve Lift System. This engine puts out a reasonable 170 horsepower at 6,000 rpm.

Two new colors are available for the 2011 model year, Marine Blue Pearl and Sky Blue Metallic, while Newport Blue is being phased out.

The Impreza 2.5i Premium maintains its starting price of $18,495--the five-door is $18,995. The 2.5i Premium trim level adds alloy wheels, a leather wrapped shifter and steering wheel and audio control switches on the steering wheel.

The Special Edition Package on the Impreza 2.5i Premium is renamed the Power Moonroof Value Package for 2011 and still includes the All-Weather Package, fog lights and power moonroof for just $500.

The audio system for the 2.5i Premium and Outback Sport models is upgraded for the 2011 model year and now includes standard Bluetooth connectivity, a standard USB port with iPod control capability, a single-disc CD Player with MP3/WWA capability and six upgraded speakers.

The Outback Sport maintains its starting price of $19,995 and includes items such as standard 17 inch alloy wheels, raised suspension, fog lights, All-Weather Package and a cargo tray among its many upgraded features.
