Hi Avery!

We do have a few hitches available for your 2018 Subaru Impreza wagon, but the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit # 391SUCT18T is designed specifically for a 2018 to 2021 Subaru Crosstrek.

For your Impreza, you will want the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 306-X7350. It isn't the same as the Stealth Hitches option, but it is a lot less exposed than the other hitches for your car (see included image).

For the wiring, you will want the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56367. This is a plug and play harness, so the install will be pretty quick and easy. Especially While installing the hitch.

What are you wanting to use the hitch for? I assume you are wanting to tow, but also figured I would ask.

I’m curious what part of the Impreza gets in the way of the stealth hitch. My understanding is they are very similar (practically identical) except for the cladding and ground clearance. Curious more than anything. No towing. Too weak an engine for anything serious. Only planning on occasionally mounting a bike rack. Thanks!

@Avery That I couldn't say. The hitch manufacturers presumably test fit their hitches on each vehicle due to their similarities and found they weren't cross compatible. I can say the EcoHitch will work really well for a bike rack though. The 2" receiver opening allows for a lot of different options. You won't need the wiring if that's all you will be doing as well. That is if you are going to be towing.
