Subaru's beloved Impreza has always been known for its standard AWD system, and also for its somewhat costly maintenance. AWD remains standard for the 2021 iteration of the Subaru Impreza, which adds SI-DRIVE performance management system for the higher trims. With previous iterations already incredible especially when modified, the Impreza remains an impressive proposition for the 2021 model year.
CVT Available On All Trims
Subaru will commence sales of the 2021 Impreza this October, and just like the previous model, compact passenger cars will continue to be offered in four trim levels: Base, Premium, Sport and Limited. The Standard Base models will be offered with either a 5-speed manual transmission (5MT) or Lineartronic CVT.
The Standard 5MT and CVT sedan models have manufacturer's suggested retail prices of $18,795 and $20,095, respectively. The Standard 5MT and CVT five-door Imprezas are tagged at $19,295 and 20,595, respectively. All CVT units -- from Base to Limited -- feature EyeSight Driver Assist Technology as standard.
Engine Performance Maximized
On the hand, the Premium, Sport and Limited trims come with the SI-DRIVE performance management system that allows drivers to maximize engine performance, control and efficiency with two selectable drive modes. Only available in CVT version, the 2021 Impreza Premium adds STARLINK 6.5-inch Multimedia Plus and STARLINK Safety and Security elements. This trim is priced at $22,195 (sedan) and $22,695 (5-door).
Featuring an exclusive sporty suspension tuning and STARLINK 8.0-inch Multimedia Plus, the 2021 Impreza Sport CVT sedan and 5-door models are available for $23,595 and $24,095, respectively. Interestingly, the Impreza Sport can also be specified as 5MT model at a tag of $22,995.
Luxurious And Techy Limited
Sitting on top of the range is the Impreza Limited, which adds a number of luxury and tech elements including LED headlights, LED daytime running lights, a leather-trimmed interior and leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter. Only available as CVT models, the Limited sedan and five-door models will be sold at $25,895 and $26,395, respectively.
Subaru is also offering several option packages that includes various features such as STARLINK 8-inch Multimedia, Harmon Kardon premium audio and Power Moonroof. All above-mentioned MSRPs exclude destination and delivery charges, which may vary depending on location.
