Peninsula Subaru

Performance

All of the new Impreza models have 2.0-liter four-cylinder engines that generate up to 152 horsepower. Five-speed manual transmissions and all-wheel drive are also standard. AWD in a car of this size is unusual but appreciated, as the technology gives drivers better control of the vehicle regardless of road conditions. Some Silverdale owners might prefer a vehicle having a continuously variable automatic transmission.

Impreza Standard

The base models of the Impreza have 16-inch wheels and fabric upholstery. The infotainment system has a 6.5-inch touchscreen and a four-speaker stereo. Linking the system with a smartphone merely entails downloading the appropriate Android or Apple app. Front-seat occupants have access to a USB port to keep mobile devices charged around Bainbridge Island. There is also a rearview camera. All of the Impreza models also feature the rear-seat alert system that is designed to keep small children and pets safer. If the vehicle has the CVT, the Impreza also features forward collision and automatic emergency braking, lane departure warnings, and lane-keeping assistance, along with adaptive cruise control.

The sedans have 12.3 cubic feet of space in the trunk, which may be increased by folding the 60/40 rear seats. On the other hand, the hatchbacks have 20.3 cubic feet of space in the rear, which enlarged to 55.3 cubic feet with the rear seats folded.

Impreza Premium

The next trim level up automatically has a CVT transmission. The trim level adds fog lights for greater nighttime visibility around the Port Orchard area. The front seats are heated for year-round comfort. The infotainment system gains satellite radio and a six-speaker stereo. Two USB ports keep mobile devices powered for use. New owners have the option of adding a powered moonroof, a power-adjustable driver's seat, and keyless entry. The package also comes with additional safety features that include blind-spot monitoring, lane changing assistance, and rear-cross traffic warnings.

Impreza Sport

The Sport trim level adds 18-inch wheels, a heavy-duty suspension, and active torque vectoring for better traction and enhanced handling around Kitsap Peninsula. The steering wheel and shifting knob are leather-wrapped. The seats have a sportier design while the pedals are aluminum. Drivers gain a 6.3-inch digital instrument cluster. Rear-seat passengers get two USB ports in addition to the two ports in the front.

Keyless entry and push-button engine start are standard amenities. The infotainment system has an eight-inch touchscreen and Bluetooth to become a Wi-Fi hotspot for up to seven devices. The CVT transmission has a seven-speed manual mode that includes Intelligent and Sport modes. The adjustments are made using the paddle shifters on the steering wheel. Optional features for the Sport level include a premium stereo with eight speakers, blind-spot monitoring, lane changing assistance, and rear-cross traffic alerts.

Impreza Limited

The elite Limited models have LED headlights and 17-inch wheels. The headlights automatically switch to high beams when sensors deem poor lighting conditions. The interior upholstery is leather-trimmed. Passengers enjoy the comfort provided by the automatic climate control system. The Limited also comes standard with several additional safety features that include blind-spot monitoring, reverse automatic emergency braking, lane changing assistance, and rear cross-traffic warnings. Owners might consider adding a powered moonroof. The upgrade package also features navigation ability and a premium eight-speaker stereo for the infotainment system.
