The spunky 2022 Subaru Impreza returns virtually unchanged, including the base prices of its trim levels. Moreover, it remains the solitary model in its class with standard all-wheel drive (AWD). Only the Mazda3 even offers AWD but as an extra-cost option.
Despite its somewhat timid engine, the Impreza delivers acceptable acceleration. And its mileage is better than some competitors with only two drive wheels. Roomy and efficiently arranged, the cabin seats five.
In 2021, the government and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) awarded it top scores in all crash tests. Moreover, the IIHS named both the hatchback and sedan versions to its Top Safety Pick list.
