5 reasons to buy the 2021 Subaru Impreza
1. AWD capability
It's impossible to talk about the Impreza without discussing its impressive all-wheel drive system. Standard across all trims of the 2021 Impreza, the symmetrical AWD system is designed to deliver stability and traction in a variety of weather conditions. The Impreza's AWD system is steeped in rallying history, giving you the ability to tackle all sorts of conditions and even go off-road, too.
2. Helpful connected services
The 2021 Impreza is a compact car with the latest technology. The Subaru STARLINK® system (standard on Premium, Sport, and Limited trims) offers a mix of connected services for you and your passengers. STARLINK includes convenience features like remote engine start, remote climate control, and concierge services to help you find the closest gas station or restaurant.
3. Tons of available features
The 2021 Subaru Impreza comes with loads of standard features. On the base trim, look for great stuff like AWD with vehicle dynamics control, Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration, and a rear-vision camera. Premium and Sport trims add even more to the mix, with the trim-topping Limited model adding standard leather seating and LED lighting. Additional features include a Harman Kardon® premium audio system (available on Sport and Limited) and a power moonroof (optional on all trims).
4. Smooth driving experience
All 2021 Subaru Imprezas come standard with the latest EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology. The system is designed to monitor traffic around your vehicle and update your cruise control to adapt to other vehicles' speeds along the way. It can even monitor your vehicle's position in the lane, using lane-keep assist to help keep you on the straight and narrow. This makes the Impreza a breeze to drive, whether for your daily commute or a weekend adventure.
5. Choice of sedan or hatch
The 2021 Impreza comes in both sedan and hatchback styles, so you can find the right model for your needs. Every trim, from Base to Limited, can be found in either layout. That means you can get 12.3 cubic feet of cargo space in four-door models, or 20.8 cubic feet in five-door models. The five-door even offers up to 55.3 cubic feet of space with the rear seats lowered.
