2022 Subaru Impreza
December 02 2021,
The Subaru Impreza is a consistent favourite with savvy Canadian car buyers thanks to its affordable price, standard all-wheel drive, and high levels of interior technology and comfort. Available in both sedan and hatchback formats, it also offers something a little different from the all-conquering SUV. We now have the latest 2022 Subaru Impreza available for a test drive, and here are the key highlights you can expect to enjoy from this attractively affordable car.
Powertrain and Performance
Every model of the 2022 Impreza is motivated by a capable 2.0L gas engine making 152 horsepower and 145lb-ft of torque, feeding all-wheel drive as standard through your choice of a five-speed manual gearbox or a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The result is smooth and responsive handling with a playful character, whether you choose the sedan or hatchback variant. And what's more, the 2022 Impreza also boasts a highly respectable fuel economy rating of just 7.5L / 100km on the highway, increasing the car's affordability even more.
High-End Infotainment and Technology
Subaru is renowned for packing a lot of features and tech into every vehicle they produce, and the 2022 Impreza sticks firmly to this tradition. Every trim in the lineup is equipped with an infotainment touchscreen of either 6" or 8" in size, with smartphone integration included as standard through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Higher trims also include an extra 4.2" colour LCD screen in the instrument cluster for a crisp, clear display of essential driving information.
Navigation with voice recognition is an available extra, as is the Subaru Starlink software package which gives access to a slew of remote features controllable via a dedicated smartphone app. And for fans of high-end audio, the standard sound system can be upgraded to an eight-speaker Harman Kardon rig with integrated noise cancellation technology.
Interior Comfort
Impreza's interior also impresses beyond the healthy level of tech. The cabin is fitted throughout with soft surfaces and high-end materials, while heated seats, dual-zone climate control, and generous legroom give the Impreza a comfort level far above the expectations set by its affordable pricing.
Subaru EyeSight Safety and Driver Assist Tech
Choose the CVT drivetrain and the Subaru EyeSight suite of active safety and driver assist technologies also become available, helping to make the 2022 Impreza one of the safest cars on the road today. Key standard and available highlights include:
- Forward-collision warnings and automatic pre-collision throttle management.
- Forward automatic emergency braking.
- Lane departure warnings and lane keep assist.
- Adaptive cruise control.
- Sway warnings.
- Blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alerts, and side vehicle detection system.
And lastly, if an incident does occur, the Starlink system will automatically notify the emergency services so you'll receive assistance as soon as possible.
