December 05 2024 - Nashville Subaru Staff

The 2025 Subaru Impreza continues to live up to the brand’s reputation for practical, reliable, and all-weather-capable vehicles. As a compact hatch with standard all-wheel drive (AWD), it has the features to make it a contender in its class. With a fresh design, new technology, and thoughtful engineering the Impreza is designed to meet the needs of modern drivers who want utility and efficiency.

Performance and Drivetrain

Subaru’s Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive is standard across the Impreza line so you get stability and control no matter the conditions. Under the hood is a 2.0L flat-four engine making 152 horsepower and 145 lb-ft of torque with a continuously variable transmission (CVT). If you want a little more oomph the RS trim gets a 2.5L flat-four engine making 182 horsepower.

Not built for speed, the Impreza is reliable with good road grip and handling. The suspension balances comfort with agility so it’s good for city streets and highway cruising.

Interior and Cargo

The 2025 Impreza’s interior is all about practicality and comfort. It has tough materials and a simple layout for easy use. Depending on the trim level you can get premium upholstery and heated front seats. Despite being a compact car it has plenty of interior space with good legroom in both rows. The hatchback body style adds to its appeal with a versatile cargo area and plenty of storage.

With the rear seats folded the Impreza’s cargo space opens up and can swallow big items with ease. These features make it a great daily driver, road tripper, or outdoor enthusiast.

Technology and Infotainment

Subaru has updated the Impreza’s tech for 2025 to make it more competitive in its class. A 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system is standard with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, higher trims get an 11.6-inch screen. The system is easy to use with physical controls to supplement the touchscreen.

You can also get built-in navigation and a premium audio system to enhance the drive. USB ports and wireless charging are also available so passengers can stay connected on the go.

Safety and Driver Assist

Subaru is known for safety and the 2025 Impreza continues that tradition with a full suite of driver-assist technologies. Standard EyeSight Driver Assist includes adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, and pre-collision braking. Blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and reverse automatic braking are also available.

The Impreza’s high safety ratings make it a great choice for families and individuals who want to have peace of mind on the road. Its advanced tech helps prevent accidents and build confidence in driving.

Exterior

The 2025 Impreza has a clean and modern design, it’s aerodynamic. The RS trim adds sporty bits like unique badging, 18-inch alloy wheels, and LED headlights, so it looks different. It’s compact and has precise steering for city streets and a sturdy build and AWD for off-road adventures.

Fuel Economy and Pricing

Efficiency is another Impreza strength, the 2.0L engine gets an estimated 28 mpg city and 36 mpg highway. The 2.5L engine sacrifices a little efficiency for more performance and gets 26 mpg city and 33 mpg highway. This makes the Impreza an economical choice for fuel-conscious buyers.

The base model starts at $23,495, one of the most affordable AWD options out there. The Sport and RS trims are in the middle and top of the line and offer more value with more features.

The 2025 Impreza has all the things you expect from an Impreza, dependability, practicality, and versatility with a few updates to stay competitive. Whether a daily driver or adventure buddy the Impreza delivers value and peace of mind.
