If you are currently evaluating the right sedan or hatchback for you, then the 2023 Subaru Impreza should be at the top of your list for consideration. Over 40 years since the first generation, the 2023 lineup shows why it is such an evergreen model. Its beautiful lines are paired with a clever interior that showcases a car that is packed with the latest technology.

A Look at the 2023 Subaru Impreza

Trim Levels

Seven models make up the 2023 Impreza lineup. The models are split across three grades, Base, Premium, and Sport, each with a sedan and hatchback variant, while the Limited 5-Door hatchback rounds off the offering.

Even at the Base grade, the Impreza has a series of advanced features fitted as standard. These include both Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and Vehicle Dynamics Control systems, which continue its reputation for superbly handling all weather conditions.

Exterior Styling

The Impreza impresses in the looks department, with beautiful exterior lines on both sedan and hatchback variants. To maintain the design accent, all models, except for the Limited 5 Door, have color-matched handles, while the Premium, Sport, and Limited 5 also have color-coordinated side mirrors.

The wheel stylings bring added flair to the car. The Base and Premium grades have 16-inch wheels, with the Premium also accommodating black alloys. The Sport models have impressive 18-inch alloys, with the limited edition possessing 17-inch wheels. All the cars have all-terrain tires fitted as standard.

Interior Styling

Paired with the sleek exterior is a smartly designed interior. Sit behind the wheel, and you will appreciate how well the instrument panel and controls are laid out, everything perfectly placed for ease of use. Space is also well employed with exceptional legroom while still providing up to 55 cu ft of cargo space on the hatchback variant with the rear seats down.

Depending on the model, there is also a 6.5 or 8-inch infotainment display, which includes access to Subaru Starlink, an advanced system that interconnects your cellphones, navigation, and multimedia content, as well as provides emergency notifications in case of accident or theft.

Engine and Transmission

A single 2.0L, 4-cylinder engine powers the whole lineup. Producing 152 horsepower, it is no slouch. Delivering the power to the all-wheel drive system is either a manual or automatic transmission, with the Base models and Sport 5-Door having a 5-speed manual transmission as standard with the automatic transmission as an option.  

Safety Features

With its reputation for reliability and durability, it is no surprise that the Impreza is also a leader in safety. Rear-Vision Camera, Brake Assist, Brake Override System, and Traction Control come with all models, while EyeSight Driver Assist Technology is either fitted or optional.

With class and dependability at its core, there is so much to like about the 2023 Impreza. It is a true workhorse for day-to-day driving while retaining its fun elements for weekend adventures.
