2022 Subaru Impreza Review

The Impreza is Subaru's long-running small sedan and hatchback, serving for years as the Japanese automaker's smallest and most affordable model. The current-generation Impreza made its debut in 2017, and while that doesn't seem all that long ago, Subaru has updated most of its other models since 2017, including the Outback and Forester SUVs and the Legacy sedan.

For 2022, the Impreza is essentially unchanged, though we predict a full Impreza redesign next year. However, if you need a compact sedan or hatchback with all-wheel drive before the all-new model arrives, we think the Impreza is a smart option. You might also check out the Mazda 3 or the Nissan Sentra. Explore all the details on the Impreza in our Expert Rating below.

What's it like to live with?

We spent a year and 20,000 miles with a 2017 Subaru Impreza to get a sense of what we liked, what we didn't like, and what surprised us. Plenty has changed in the five years since we've owned an Impreza, but we think a lot of our impressions hold up, so head over to our long-term road test of a 2017 Subaru Impreza to get an in-depth look at the sedan.

The 2022 Subaru Impreza is available as a sedan or a four-door hatchback. Features are generally the same for both body styles. The four trims available are the base, Premium, Sport and Limited. For 2022, the Limited trim level is only available in the four-door hatchback body style.
