The redesigned 2018 Subaru Impreza offers a great value for the money. Even the base model has a lengthy list of features, a spacious interior, sufficient engine power, and all-wheel drive. If someone wants all-wheel drive at a fair price, the 2018 Subaru Impreza near Slidell is a great option. Here, local customers can find out more about the latest version of the Subaru Impreza.
Seating Arrangements
The 2018 Impreza can seat five adults comfortably, unlike many other compact cars. Drivers shouldn't have any trouble finding a comfortable position, and the rear passenger area is roomy enough for a couple of tall adults. We invite everyone to come to our Slidell Subaru dealers to test out the Impreza for themselves.
Child Safety Seats
The 2018 Subaru Impreza near Slidell has two sets of LATCH connectors to simplify the process of installing safety seats. Each rear outboard seat has lower anchors and upper tethers. If parents plan to put a car seat in the rear middle position, they'll need to use a lower anchor from each outboard position.
Interior Quality
The quality of the materials in the 2018 Impreza is improved over that of past models. While it's not the same as a luxury SUV, it's more than adequate for most drivers. Subaru owners are a practical bunch, and the vehicle's interior suits them perfectly. Take a closer look by stopping by a Slidell Subaru dealer today.
Cargo Room
The Impreza sedan has 12.3 cubic feet of cargo room in the trunk. Although those aren't the highest numbers in the class, it's plenty of room for a weekend's worth of luggage. The Impreza hatchback, which is on display at our Subaru dealers near Slidell, has a whopping 55.3 cubic feet of cargo room with the rear seats in the folded position. With the redesign, Subaru has updated the Impreza's rear end to create a bigger cargo opening. When the seats are folded down, the floor isn't completely flat, but the small incline isn't difficult to handle.
Bluetooth, Navigation, and Infotainment
The 2018 Impreza has an all-new infotainment system. The touchscreen is larger than in last year's models, with a 6.5" screen standard and an eight-inch screen as an option. Not only that, the Impreza comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support. These allow drivers to use some phone apps, such as navigation, through the car's infotainment system. Connecting a phone to the system is painless, and the system itself poses no distraction to drivers.
The Engine
The Impreza's powertrain is more than adequate for most drivers. The 2.0L, four-cylinder engine provides more power than engines from some competitors. A five-speed manual gearbox is standard, and there's an available CVT to consider as well. While the manual transmission is easy to use and simple to shift, most drivers prefer the automatic version.
Fuel Economy
The Subaru Impreza gets high marks for fuel economy even though it has all-wheel drive. The sedan gets 24 mpg city/32 mpg highway when equipped with a manual transmission while the CVT model gets 28 in the city and 38 mpg on the highway.
All-Wheel Drive Gives Great Grip
All-wheel drive is standard on all Impreza models, and it'll keep things stable when the roads get slick. The all-wheel drive is quite useful on curvy roads, and it offers a comfortable ride due to the plush suspension.
Reliability
The 2018 Impreza is covered by a three-year, 36,000-mile limited warranty and a five-year, 60,000-mile powertrain warranty. This level of warranty coverage is average for the market segment.
Safety
All Impreza trim levels have a rearview camera as standard equipment. With the Premium trim and higher lines, drivers can add a range of systems for blind spot monitoring, cruise control, forward collision sensing and lane departure alerts. These features aren't found in most of the Impreza's rivals, and they are only optional on some of Subaru's other models. It pays to check out your options at our dealership before making any buying decisions.
Finding the Right Subaru Impreza Model
Most of Slidell's drivers will find the base model extremely well-equipped for its market segment and price range. For instance, a buyer would have to choose a higher trim to get the type of infotainment system found in the Impreza. Those looking for the most advanced safety features should choose the Premium trim level because it's the least expensive model with all the amenities.
