The Subaru Impreza appears to be carrying the torch that lights up the future for the Japanese Automaker. Its five-door version in particular, has high demand in the auto market at present and for good reasons. The hatchback version of the 2017 Subaru Impreza makes a very practical vehicle and it is considered to be a mini wagon worth buying.
Enough Power To Be A Hauler
Given the fact that the 2017 Subaru Impreza five-door banks on practicality rather than being sporty, it only packs enough power to be a small family hauler. The 2017 Subaru Impreza five-door draws 152 horsepower and 145 pound-feet of torque from a 2.0-liter flat-four direct injected engine that is also found in the sedan version. This powertrain is matched with a five-speed manual and an optional Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) that sends the horses through an all-wheel drive drivetrain.
Better Safety Ratings
Being a mini family hauler, the 2017 Subaru Impreza five-door has better safety ratings. A report stated that the Impreza's body is now 40 percent stronger, which makes it better at withstanding collision and diverting the impact away from the driver and passengers to keep them away from serious injuries. "Safety and the dynamic quality of the drive were the priorities for the development of the new platform, but if I should choose one of them, it would be safety," said Kazuhiro Abe, Impreza's project general manager in a report.
Great Value
The Subaru Impreza has four trims and they are all available in five-door versions. The cargo space has grown by three cubic inch and can now hold more baggage. The price is also practical starting from $19,715 for the base trim and $25,415 for the top. The Subaru Impreza also boasts an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rating 28/38/32 miles per gallon in the city, on the highway and combined respectively. Putting all the above mentioned facts together, the 2017 Subaru Impreza Hatchback is definitely a mini wagon worth buying.
