Subaru Impreza: Simple and Sporty Enough for Daily Drives

The Subaru Impreza arrived in 1992 as a small car with a giant mission: to bring the brand’s rally-bred All-Wheel Drive technology to the masses. It influenced the industry by proving that a compact hatchback didn't have to be a front-wheel-drive econobox; it could be a performance-focused machine with world-class traction. It's not too big, not too slow, and ready for any weather.

Best Features of the Latest Subaru Impreza

The 2026 Impreza features the punchy 2.0-liter Boxer four-cylinder engine producing 152 horsepower, while the RS trim steps up to a 2.5-liter engine with 182 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque. Power is funneled to all four wheels through a Lineartronic CVT that features a manual mode with paddle shifters on higher trims for a more engaging drive. The Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system provides active torque vectoring, allowing the Impreza to pivot through corners with a level of agility that competitors simply can't match.

The Impreza is famous for its low center of gravity and the "flat" engine layout that gives it a unique, planted feel. Notable specs include a cargo capacity of up to 56 cubic feet in the hatchback, offering utility that rivals many small crossovers. Trivia fans know that the name "Impreza" is derived from an Italian word meaning "achievement" or "feat," highlighting its success on the world rally stage.
