Arriving at retailers across North America this summer, the 2019 Impreza is available in four trim levels: 2.0i, Premium, Sport, and Limited. Equipped with Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive from the get-go, the sedan and hatchback come with a five-speed manual as standard in the case of the 2.0i and Sport. The Premium and Limited, meanwhile, rely on the Lineartronic continuously variable transmission.

The 2.0-liter boxer we all know and love soldiers on with 152 horsepower, and if you’re careful with the loud pedal, Subaru expects you to achieve up to 38 miles per gallon on the highway. More to the point, the Impreza is one of the most fuel-efficient all-wheel-drive vehicles on sale in the United States. According to the automaker, it’s possible to drive more than 450 miles on a full tank.

CVT-equipped models can be optioned with EyeSight Driver Assist ($845), which includes the 4.2-inch display in the instrument cluster and overhead console shower light. The 6.5-inch infotainment system features Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, but on higher trim levels, customers can get the 8.0-inch Subaru Starlink system.

The Limited boasts High Beam Assist for the LED headlights, Reverse Automatic Braking, and EyeSight as standard, to which Subaru adds leather upholstery, chrome trim, and 17-inch alloy wheels. The Sport, which is distinguished by the black-painted grille and red stitching, is more focused on the driving experience. To this effect, this variant has 18-inch machine-finish alloy wheels, short-throw shifter for manual models, Active Torque Vectoring, and Sport-specific suspension settings.

Those who would rather have the Crosstrek for its greater ground clearance and crossover aesthetic qualities are looking at a starting price of $21,895. Coincidence or not, that’s also $100 more than the previous model year. Later on, the Subaru Crosstrek family will welcome a plug-in hybrid option.
