In sedan and five-door hatchback iterations and spanning a trim gamut from the capable 2.0i and 2.0i Premium through an athletic 2.0i Sport build and the well-appointed 2.0i Limited, the new Subaru Impreza surely offers plenty of options from which to choose. But what defines the compact car's multifariousness for our Springfield and nearby Decatur areas and beyond?
At the outset, the new 2018 Impreza from Subaru shows itself a model of what makes our automaker stand out. It's designed to handle diverse terrain and Mother Nature's inclemency, yet versatile enough for the urban Springfield-to-Decatur outing. But the multiplicity of outdoor venues that give Decatur its "Park City USA" namesake – these can require a little more than your average compact four- or five-door.
To wit, 2018 Subaru Impreza builds in a trifecta of a 152-horsepower 2.0-liter, four-cylinder SUBARU BOXER engine, Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, and a Vehicle Dynamics and Traction Control system. That means a construction horizontally opposed, with pistons moving laterally to combine a low center of gravity with minimal power-delivery points, resulting in a firm plant during maneuvers. It's a drive-time enhanced even further by Active Torque Vectoring in Impreza Sport trims, making turn-in with neutral steering a matter of precision.

That spirit's not without the ability to go the distance either. In a new Impreza, you can count on an estimated fuel economy of up to 28 mpg cruising through Decatur and up to 38 mpg down the highway toward Springfield, depending on your choice of trim. Nor is it without safety to stand apart from the competition. Available EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology can help you safely distance Impreza from other motorists, brake automatically in advance of an accident, stay on course with feedback, and more. Optional STARLINK Safety & Security&#trade; can even enable calling for emergency and roadside help and performing diagnostic, security and remote services functions, among others.
Plus, no pleasure cruise, whether to a conservation area, regional park, the Decatur Park District, or just out shopping, can go off without streamlined entertainment and vehicle function control within reach. To that end, our Subie compact incorporates your choice of 6.5- and 8-inch SUBARU STARLINK&#trade; infotainment systems, with available SiriusXM® Traffic and Travel Link navigation in higher trims.
