Reasons to Love Impreza

All-Weather Capability in a Comfortable, Spacious AWD Hatchback

The 2026 Impreza features standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and up to 33 MPG so you can go more places in all kinds of weather and road conditions. The Honda Civic Hatchback, Toyota Corolla Hatchback, and Mazda3 Hatchback can’t match the standard capability of the Impreza. With its roomy interior and versatile hatchback body style, there’s more space for friends and cargo, with up to 120.9 cubic feet of total interior volume and 20.4 cubic feet of cargo space. That’s more space than you get in the Toyota Corolla Hatchback or Mazda3 Hatchback.

A Safe Hatchback with Advanced Subaru EyeSight^® Technology

With standard EyeSight Driver Assist Technology and available MySubaru^® Connected Services, you get more peace of mind and safety on every drive with the 2026 Impreza. Standard rear-seat side airbags — new for 2026 — help provide even more all-around impact protection. There’s also a whole suite of additional active safety features available for added awareness on every drive. That kind of advanced safety engineering is why Subaru has earned a #1 rating in safety for seven years running. The 2026 Subaru Impreza earned top marks with a 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

We back up this reliability with a limited Subaru Warranty of up to three years or 36,000 miles and a Powertrain Warranty that covers the engine, transmission, and all-wheel drive and lasts for five years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first.
