Subaru Impreza Sport in more detail
More detailed contextImpreza Sport: practical AWD compact
AWD and a 5-star safety rating headline the Impreza Sport’s appeal, supported by 7.1 combined consumption and a $23,695 price that keeps ownership sensible.
Strengths
All-wheel drive aids traction in poor weather, efficiency is competitive for a petrol compact, and 5 seats with strong safety make it family-friendly. A reliability score of 78 adds confidence.
Trade-offs
The 380 L trunk limits bulky loads, and performance is modest (152 hp, 0–100 km/h in 8.5 s, 180 km/h top speed). As a petrol model, it won’t suit buyers prioritizing hybrid or EV power, and it’s not positioned for premium expectations.
