2013 Subaru Impreza
Outside, the latest Impreza looks more focused than its somewhat
soft and rounded predecessor. Sleek headlights, well-integrated fender flares
and an almost fastback-like roofline highlight the sedan. Inside, the interior
is simple but highly functional, with a sporty three-spoke steering wheel and
intuitive center stack controls.
Helping the Impreza to achieve its strong fuel economy figures is
a 2.0-liter boxer four-cylinder that produces 148 horsepower and 145 lb-ft. of
torque. Those figures are down from the 170 horsepower and 170 lb-ft. of torque
produced by the last-gen model's 2.5-liter mill, but the tradeoff is 27 mpg in
the city and 36 mpg on the highway with the available CVT.
All-wheel-drive is standard across the line; it gives the Impreza
a sure-footed feeling in slippery inclement weather.
