One of the only AWD sedans under $20K.
Overview Information
Even though the base Impreza is often overshadowed by the hotter WRX, it is one of the only affordable AWD cars sold for under $20,000. On snowy and slick roads, the advantages of AWD are obvious. A powerful 170-bhp 2.5L flat-4 gives the Impreza an edge over most other competitors. Transmissions available include a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic. A comprehensive set of standard features makes the Impreza an excellent value.
What Changed:
Subaru has added a 2.5GT model to bridge the gap to the WRX models. The turbocharged 2.5L Boxer engine in the 2.5 GT is rated at 224-bhp and 226 lb-ft of torque - the same as last year's base WRX. Impreza 2.5 GT models wear a hood with a large functional air scoop and fog lights. Larger brakes and tires help manage the increased performance. All other Impreza models now feature standard disc brakes and stability control.
