All-new 2022 Subaru Impreza announced, check details

KUALA LUMPUR: The 2022 Subaru Impreza has been updated for the US market where it is offered in both sedan and hatch bodystyle. The new Impreza like before is offered in four trim options - Base, Premium, Limited, and Sport . It is to be noted that the Limited model is only available with the Impreza hatch.

2022 Subaru Impreza updates

The biggest update comes in the form of an additional paint finish - Sapphire Blue, for all the trims. Everything else remains the same as the 2019 Impreza facelift model.

On the inside, depending on the trim, the car features either ivory or black upholstery. The hatch exclusive Impreza Limited version benefits the most with inclusions like an 8-inch Starlink infotainment system, a 6-way power driver’s seat, keyless entry and engine start, and automatic climate control.

What powers the updated Impreza?

The 2022 Impreza is powered by a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder boxer engine that pumps out a maximum power of 154 PS along with a peak torque of 197 Nm. All-wheel drive is a standard offering. As for the transmission, the Impreza sedan Base trim comes with a 5-speed manual unit and the rest with a CVT. Similarly, all hatch trims feature the latter option, i.e., CVT.

What about safety and security?

The new Impreza comes with the EyeSight suite of features that’s standard in models with Lineartronic CVT. The Limited trim, on the other hand, gets a few extra bits like steering responsive headlights, reverse automatic braking, high beam assist, and blind-spot detection with lane keep assistant, and rear-cross traffic alert.

2022 Impreza price?

The best part of all is that Subaru has not changed the Impreza price tag, it remains the same at USD 18,795 (approx. RM 77,990) for the sedan Base trim. The most expensive of course is the Impreza Limited model at USD 26,394 (approx. RM 109,526).
