The fourth-generation Subaru Impreza offers Sedan and five-door hatchback bodies. Your choice comes down to luggage access, transmission preference and the drivetrain and equipment fitted to the particular car.
Among the gasoline powertrain options, the 1.6 CVT Sedan combines a continuously variable transmission with all-wheel drive, saving you manual shifts in traffic. Manual examples include the front-wheel-drive 1.6 MT Hatchback 5-door and all-wheel-drive 1.6 MT Sedan. These give you control over gear selection and illustrate why body style alone cannot identify the drivetrain.
Subaru Impreza trim levels distinguish equipment packages within a technical version. For the all-wheel-drive 1.6 CVT Sedan, these include CC and DC. When choosing between them, check the individual car’s comfort, audio and convenience features: the shared powertrain designation tells you little about which equipment you will use every day.
