Safety

The Subaru Impreza sedan and four-door hatch have a five-star overall safety rating from the NHTSA (out of a possible five stars) and is considered a 2016 Top Safety Pick+ by the IIHS. The Impreza received a front crash prevention designation of Superior, thanks in part to its ability to avoid a collision in both the 12-mph low-speed and 25-mph high-speed autobrake tests. Subaru’s available EyeSight active safety tech includes adaptive cruise control, Pre-Collision Braking and lane departure warning as well as steering-responsive fog lights.

What We Think

“In our tests, the Impreza hit 60 mph in a languishing 9.9 seconds. That’s quite a bit slower than the 2015 Kia Forte5 we tested at 6.9 seconds, the 2015 Volkswagen Golf at 7.8 seconds, and the 2014 Ford Focus and Hyundai Elantra GT, which each hit 8.4 seconds,” we said in our 2015 Subaru Impreza 2.0i Limited Sport First Test. “In braking tests, the Impreza came to a stop from 60 mph in 119 feet, which is farther than the 105 feet it took the Ford Focus to accomplish the task. Meanwhile, the Forte5 managed to stop in 110 feet, and the VW Golf came in at a comparable 117 feet.”

We also noted that the engine “produced a laboring noise” at highway speeds and the cabin let in lots of road noise. The Impreza did handle and steer well on various roads. We concluded:

“Considering its below average acceleration, we think the standard all-wheel-drive Impreza best serves drivers in snowy states or those hell-bent on an affordable hatch with automatic braking. Either way, the current model is on its way out, and Subaru will start making room for the next-gen 2017 Impreza. That model will sit on a new platform and feature an upgraded 2.0-liter boxer-four engine.”
