Standard sizes for 2012-present Impreza

Before listing the sizes, note that this section covers the majority of 2012 and newer Impreza models across sedan and hatchback body types.

• Driver-side blade: 26 inches


• Passenger-side blade: 16 inches

Variations can occur with aftermarket aero blades or particular trims, so always verify for your exact year and body style.

Older models (pre-2012)

Prior to 2012, wiper sizes were less standardized and depended more on the generation, body style, and market. Typical configurations varied, and exact sizes should be confirmed for the specific year and model you own.

• Typical ranges (not guaranteed for every car): driver around 24–26 inches; passenger around 16–19 inches

To avoid buying the wrong blades, consult the owner's manual or a reputable parts catalog using your exact year, model, and body style, or bring the current blades to a retailer for a precise match.

How to verify the exact size for your Impreza

Use these steps to confirm the blade sizes for your specific car before purchasing replacements:

• Check the owner's manual or Subaru service/maintenance section for the recommended blade sizes.


• Inspect the current blades for size markings on the blade itself or on the packaging if you still have it.


• Measure the lengths of the current blades with a tape measure and cross-check with a trusted parts catalog using your exact year and body style.

If in doubt, ask a Subaru dealer or auto parts store staff to ensure you get the correct fit for your exact year and model.

How to replace windshield wipers

Replacing blades is straightforward once you know the right sizes. Here’s a quick guide to the process:

• Lift the wiper arm away from the windshield and locate the release mechanism on the blade.


• Release the old blade from the connector and remove it. Choose a blade with the same connector type (many Subaru blades use a common hook or pin connector).


• Attach the new blade securely to the wiper arm and snap it into place.


• Lower the wiper arm back onto the windshield and test the sweep to ensure full contact and no streaking.

For best results, follow the installation instructions that come with your replacement blades and consider a high-quality blade type suited to your climate (standard, all-season, or aero blades).

Summary

For most Subaru Impreza models built from 2012 onward, the standard replacement blade size is 26 inches on the driver’s side and 16 inches on the passenger’s side. Earlier models can vary, so always verify with the owner’s manual or a parts retailer using your exact year, model, and body style. A quick check of the current blades or packaging will prevent buying the wrong size and ensure clear visibility on the road.
