It looks like you've already done all the measuring you need, so the Thule Motion XT Alpine Rooftop Cargo Box # TH629506 will work just fine with your 2019 Subaru Impreza.

This cargo box only requires that you have a minimum crossbar spread of 23 5/8" but no more than 36 7/8" apart. Since you have a maximum crossbar spread of 33" you're good since you're within those parameters.

If you have the hatchback and want to be able to open the hatch without interference you'd need to make sure you have at least 55" from the front crossbar to the rear hatch line where the roof and hatch meet. Since you measured 57" from the front to the rear hatch line, the hatch will open with no contact.
