Why Subaru Impreza Wins the Canadian Black Book Best Residual Value Award

The Subaru Impreza is renowned for its strong brand reputation and innovative technologies. Its commitment to safety further adds to its appeal. With features like all-wheel drive suited for Canadian weather, it stands out in the used car market. The Impreza also boasts a history of longevity and a range of advanced safety features.

The Canadian Black Book Award

The Subaru Impreza won the 'Car: Main' award. Highlighting its exceptional value retention. Other Subaru models also received recognition in the other Canadian Black Book Best Residual Value Award categories. The Crosstrek secured second place in the 'SUV: Main Compact/Sub-Compact' category. The BRZ and Solterra claimed third positions in the 'Sport Car: Main' and 'EV SUV Below $60,000' categories.

The Subaru's Symmetrical Full-time All-wheel drive makes the Impreza a favourite among Canadians. It provides versatility, reliability, and capability. The 2024 model year introduces a complete redesign, adding more performance, technology, and safety features. The 2024 Impreza sees the revival of the RS trim, reminiscent of the 2.5RS trim that acted as a precursor to the WRX.

Technology Features

The Impreza Convenience trim level includes a high-tech infotainment system. This includes dual 7.0-inch touchscreens that offer swipe-and-scroll functionality. This system features Bluetooth connectivity, a USB-A port, auxiliary input, and steering wheel controls. It's also compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, offers many apps, and has four speakers with SiriusXM capability. 

An even more advanced infotainment system takes centre stage on the Impreza Touring and RS trim levels. These trims come with an 11.6-inch touchscreen and multi-gesture capacitive touch controls.

Superior Performance

The 2024 Impreza showcases Subaru's top-notch engineering. With standard Subaru Symmetrical Full-Time AWD, two engine options, and a proven independent suspension system. This tech creates unmatched confidence behind the wheel.

You can get it with the smaller 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine. It has 152 horsepower and 145 lb-ft of torque. If you want more power, go for the bigger 2.5-litre four-cylinder, which has 182 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque. Both engines come with an automatic CVT transmission,

The fuel economy is 8.8 L/100 km in the city and 6.9 L/100 km on the highway for the smaller engine. The bigger 2.5-litre gets 9.0 L/100 km in the city and 7.2 L/100 km on the highway. 

New Design

Another reason why the Impreza took the Best Residual Value Award is because of its design. It takes the compact hatchback to new heights with a modern and bold design. From its eye-catching front grille to the sporty roof-mounted spoiler, this unique five-door car combines advanced aerodynamics with athletic aesthetics. 

You can also choose extras like side sill spoilers and impressive alloy wheel designs for added excitement. The new Impreza offers a mix of form, function, and pure, enjoyable driving.

Comfortable Interior

The redesigned Impreza's seats are built for performance and comfort. They support different body types and reduce fatigue on long trips. Sport-tech and RS models have a 10-way power driver's seat with a two-way lumbar support option. Most Impreza versions have quality cloth seats, while Sport-tech has leather seats.

The new Impreza has a spacious cabin for five adults. Rear-seat passengers get good legroom and foot space. The 60/40-split folding rear seats fold flatter, creating up to 1,586L of cargo space. This is one of the largest in compact hatchbacks.

Plethora of Safety Features

With its standard Subaru Symmetrical Full-Time AWD, impressive agility, excellent visibility, and advanced EyeSight Driver Assist Technology, the Impreza stands out as a top contender in active safety. This approach guarantees strong protection and delivers unique driving dynamics.

Included across all trim levels, the latest EyeSight version employs two cameras and a new wide-angle mono camera to track the road. It can recognize potential hazards and offer driver help when crucial.
