The facelifted fifth-generation Subaru Impreza offers hatchback and sedan bodies. If you regularly carry bulky items, the hatchback’s rear opening adds flexibility, while the sedan keeps luggage in a separate boot. Powertrain and equipment choices also deserve attention.
Subaru Impreza engine choices include the front-wheel-drive 1.6 CVT Sedan and the 2.0ie e-Boxer AWD Lineartronic in both body styles. These examples use continuously variable transmissions, which adjust their ratios smoothly. All-wheel drive helps you find traction on slippery surfaces, though tyres remain important for grip and braking.

When comparing Subaru Impreza trim levels, distinguish the equipment package from the mechanical version. Premium is an equipment configuration offered for the 1.6 CVT Sedan. Check the individual car’s comfort, infotainment and driver-assistance features, since a trim name alone does not establish what every version includes.
