Looks That Aren't Trying Too Hard

The Impreza's hatchback shape wears Subaru DNA with a purposeful face and a squat, all-wheel-drive stance that hints at capability rather than flash. At 4,490 mm long and 1,780 mm wide it sits between small hatchbacks and compact family cars, so it feels larger on the road without becoming unwieldy in town. Design is functional — good sightlines, modest surfacing and a roofline that keeps rear headroom sensible. Current versions are the Subaru Impreza 2.0ie Petrol MHEV Automatic All‑Wheel Drive with 136 hp and a combined consumption of 7.3 L/100 km.

Inside: Simple, Solid, and Sensible

The cabin is built around practicality with straightforward controls, comfortable seats and materials that prioritise durability over luxury. Five seats are standard and the ergonomics put key functions within easy reach of the driver, while switchgear tends to be tactile rather than glossy. Expect solid plastics in less visible areas but tight build quality and a user-friendly layout that will age well.

Room for Life, Not for a Moving Van

Boot space is 315 litres with the rear seats up and expands to a maximum of 1,297 litres with the seats folded, providing real-world flexibility for shopping, strollers or weekend kit. With a curb weight around 1,574–1,599 kg and a payload capacity of roughly 500–526 kg the Impreza handles family loads without drama. A 48‑litre tank combined with the official 7.3 L/100 km consumption translates to roughly 650–660 km between fill-ups in mixed driving, which keeps refuelling infrequent on longer trips.

On the Road: Steady, Surefooted, Not a Sports Car

On the move the 2.0 petrol MHEV delivers 136 hp and 182 Nm through a CVT to all four wheels, producing 0–100 km/h in 10.6 seconds — moderate by modern standards but perfectly adequate for everyday overtakes and motorway cruising. Subaru's symmetrical AWD gives predictable grip in wet or slippery conditions and the balance feels assured rather than sporty, with pitch and roll well controlled for comfort. The CVT smooths power delivery but blunts the sense of urgency; drivers after sharp responses or corner-carving dynamics will feel the Impreza leans towards composure over excitement. Top speed is around 199 km/h, a figure more academic for buyers interested in traction and all-weather confidence than outright pace.

What It Drinks and How Far It Goes

Official combined consumption is 7.3 L/100 km and the mild-hybrid system mainly helps with stop/start and low-speed efficiency rather than long-range electric driving. Real-world figures will depend on driving style and conditions but expect mid-to-high sevens in litres per 100 km around town and lower on steady motorway runs. CO2 emissions are 166 g/km (efficiency class F), so ownership costs such as taxes or company-car charges may be higher than the most efficient rivals.

Buttons, Screens, and Driving Aids

Infotainment and driver aids are presented in a no-nonsense manner with smartphone mirroring, clear menus and physical shortcuts that keep distractibility low while driving. A suite of assistance systems provides adaptive cruise, lane-keep support and automated emergency braking for highway and urban peace of mind, contributing to the Impreza's focus on safety. The technology is designed to be helpful rather than headline-grabbing, matching the car's overall emphasis on day-to-day usability.

Who Should Buy the Impreza?

The Impreza is aimed at buyers who value all-wheel traction, reliability and sensible packaging over sporty thrills or luxury flair — ideal for those in wet or wintry climates, small families and commuters who want added confidence on mixed roads. With 136 hp, a 0–100 km/h time of 10.6 s and a 315‑litre boot it sits as a practical, capable choice in the compact hatch segment. Consider it when predictable handling, simple technology and an all-weather drivetrain outweigh the desire for the sharpest performance or the plushest interior.
