What's New for 2015
Every Impreza model is a Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle (PZEV) , meaning it exceeds California's stringent emissions standards and offers lower emissions than even some hybrid or alternative fuel vehicles.
EYESIGHT® DRIVER ASSIST TECHNOLOGY
Using two cameras mounted above the rearview mirror to monitor traffic, EyeSight driver assist technology can react to conditions even before you do. An alert will be sounded along with a visual warning when it senses danger of a collision. It can even apply the brakes automatically if you don't. EyeSight also optimizes cruise control and can warn drivers when they're swaying outside their lane. Another way Subaru technology is looking out for you.

The 2015 Subaru Impreza's four-cylinder engine provides adequate acceleration around town, but you'll need to plan ahead for highway passing maneuvers. Overall, the Impreza is one of the slower cars in the small sedan/hatchback class. Not helping matters is the CVT, which responds too eagerly to throttle inputs, increasing engine speed unnecessarily and amplifying the racket under the hood. At a steady cruise on the highway, the Impreza isn't any louder than its competitors, but the level of engine noise during harder acceleration grows tiresome. The manual transmission helps matters, but its abrupt clutch take-up can make it difficult to drive the Impreza smoothly in heavy traffic.
Around turns, the Impreza won't immediately wow you with its catlike agility. But if you press on more aggressively, you'll find that it's actually blessed with secure handling, precise steering and confident braking, particularly with the 17-inch wheels and tires. Another nice quality is the smooth and compliant ride. Even driven over broken pavement, the Impreza feels well built and substantial.
FLEXIBLE SPACE AND INTEGRATED ROOF RAILS
Impreza comes with 60/40-split fold-down rear seats, so you can fit three in the back with both rear seat-backs up or fold a seat down for extra cargo space. And with a choice of 4- and 5-Door Body styles, there's even more flexibility to fit your needs.
Available roof rails provide additional cargo-carrying capability. They're compatible with just about everything you need for a day trip or weekend getaway, including accessory attachments for kayaks, bikes, skis, and cargo carriers.

4- AND 5-Door Body STYLES
Five models and two body configurations add up to plenty of choices. Whether you want a sleek 4-door body style or a sporty 5-door hatchback, Impreza has you covered.
