There is a bit of fascia trimming needed on your 2019 Subaru Impreza hatchback to install the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7350.

If you check out the accompanying cut out you can see that it requires a 2-1/2" square to be cut. This will allow your '19 Impreza to have a hitch that his hidden except for the receiver; I have added a photo a customer sent in of your 2019 Impreza with this hitch installed so you can see how it will look on yours.

Additionally, if you are looking to tow with your 2019 Impreza hatchback, I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118744.
