The Subaru Impreza represented a good alternative to other small sedans and hatchback in its class, with its standard all-wheel-drive system and an impressive safety record.
For 2012, Subaru redesigned the Impreza to make it more attractive. The new styling brought the Impreza closer to Subaru’s Outback and Legacy.
While the exterior design was not considered very flattering, the major updates were found under the hood.
The 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine that was mounted on the previous generations was replaced by a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder powerplant that cranked out 148 hp. While the new engine was less powerful, it offered great fuel economy.
The sedan version came in three trim levels, while the hatchback added two more.
The base trim level included 16-inch wheels, keyless entry, air-conditioning, a trip computer and a 4-speaker audio system.
Moving up the trim levels, the 2.0i Premium added 16-inch alloys, cruise control, foglamps, Bluetooth phone and audio connectivity, a 6-speaker audio system and steering-wheel mounted controls. Available for the 2.0i were he Alloy Wheel package that brought bigger 17-inch wheels with a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and the All-Weather package that included heated mirrors and heated front seats.
The 2.0i Limited included the packages mentioned above and added automatic headlights, leather upholstery, a touchscreen display, as well as a rear center armrest.
The 2.0i Sport Premium came with 17-inch alloys, two-tone body color, all new upholstery, roof rails and the heated mirrors and front seats.
