It sits at the entry point of Subaru's lineup, carrying the brand's signature symmetrical AWD as standard equipment across all trims.

WHAT REVIEWERS SAY

Reviewers generally regard the Impreza as a sensible, no-drama compact that earns points for its standard all-wheel-drive system and composed everyday character. They typically acknowledge it as a practical rather than exciting choice, noting that its cabin and feature set are competitive without being class-leading. Safety credentials tend to draw consistent praise in professional assessments.
