2022 Subaru Impreza in Auburn, MA - $20,500

Subaru of America, Inc. has introduced a comprehensively upgraded Impreza® line of compact four-door and five-door models for 2015. The new fourth-generation Impreza debuts revised front styling with a new front bumper, grille and headlights that give it a closer kinship to the all-new 2015 Legacy®. A new exterior mirror enhances aerodynamics, as does a low-profile trunk spoiler on four-door models.

Impreza’s updated design includes new measures to make the ride quieter, including additional sound deadening and thicker side glass windows with improved sealing. A quick-ratio electric power assisted steering, standard on all models, enhances handling agility.

The 2015 Subaru Impreza is available in 2.0i, 2.0i Premium, 2.0i Sport Premium, 2.0i Limited and 2.0i Sport Limited trim levels. Power for the Impreza is generated by a 2.0L Subaru BOXER engine and features standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. For 2015, the Lineartronic CVT automatic transmission is now standard for the Premium and Limited trims with improved tuning to provide a more natural stepped shift pattern. A five-speed manual gearbox continues as standard in the base 2.0i and the Sport Premium trims.

All Impreza models equipped with the CVT automatic, (except the base 2.0i), feature a six-speed manual mode with steering wheel paddle shifters that allow the driver to control the transmission. In the base 2.0 models with the CVT, a driver-selectable Low shift mode can provide additional engine braking when traveling down a grade, to enhance vehicle control. Additionally, Incline Start Assist is standard on all models which helps prevent the vehicle from rolling back when moving away from a stop on an incline.

Liquid (hydraulic) engine mounts on models equipped with the CVT automatic help to dampen vibration. The double-wishbone rear suspension features pillow ball bushings for exemplary ride comfort, straight-line stability and handling agility.

Inside the passenger cabin rich looking appointments and details abound, including soft-touch materials for the dashboard, door trim and center console armrest. Roomy door pockets can hold plastic drink bottles and large maps. Numerous compartments located in and around the center console hold all manner of today’s personal items, such as phones, USB drives and MP3 players.

The Impreza also gains additional standard features to enhance value for 2015. The base 2.0i model gains standard cruise control and a touch-screen infotainment system, and all trims now have a standard Rear Vision Camera and one-touch lane changer feature for the turn signals.

On Limited, Sport Premium and Sport Limited trims, exterior mirrors feature integrated turn signals. The Limited and Sport Limited trims also have new “welcome” lighting and an upgraded instrument cluster with center-mounted LCD color display and a steering wheel mounted control switch. Keyless Access with Push-Button Start system and PIN code access are new options on the four-door Limited and Sport Limited.

Subaru’s EyeSight Driver Assist Technology is available for 2.0i Limited four-door and 2.0i Sport Limited. Models equipped with EyeSight also come with new Steering-Responsive Fog Lights. This feature, which works only when the fog lights are turned off, activates the left or right fog light independently, depending on vehicle speed and steering angle, to provide enhanced illumination in the direction of the turn. The fog lights are pre-aimed for maximum coverage in corners.
