Frequently Asked Questions about the New Subaru Impreza in Mishawaka, IN
Does the new Subaru Impreza come with all-wheel drive as standard?
Yes. Standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive is included on every single new Subaru Impreza trim, from the entry-level Base through the Sport to the performance-focused RS. This is one of the Impreza's most meaningful distinctions in the compact hatchback segment, where competitors like the Honda Civic Hatchback, Toyota Corolla Hatchback, and Mazda3 Hatchback are available only in front-wheel drive. For Mishawaka and Michiana area drivers who deal with lake-effect snow, slick fall roads, and variable winter conditions, standard AWD in a compact hatchback is a practical advantage that competitors in this segment simply cannot match.
What are the differences between the three Impreza trim levels?
The new Impreza is available in three trims: Base, Sport, and RS. The Base includes Symmetrical AWD, a 2.0-liter BOXER engine producing 152 horsepower, a 7-inch STARLINK touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, dual-zone automatic climate control, and standard EyeSight driver assistance. The Sport adds a sport-tuned suspension for improved handling, 18-inch dark gray alloy wheels, an upgraded 11.6-inch touchscreen, LED fog lights, keyless access with push-button start, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The RS steps up to a 2.5-liter BOXER engine producing 182 horsepower, an RS-tuned sport suspension, Active Torque Vectoring, 18-inch dark gray alloys, heated front seats, RS-specific exterior styling, and an available Harman Kardon premium audio system. Our Gurley Leep Subaru team in Mishawaka can walk you through all three in person at our Grape Road dealership.
How much cargo space does the new Subaru Impreza offer?
The new Impreza is available only as a five-door hatchback, and the hatchback body style pays off in cargo versatility. With the rear seats upright, the Impreza provides 20.4 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row. With the 60/40 split-folding rear seats fully folded, that opens up to 56 cubic feet of total cargo volume, a figure that competes meaningfully with some smaller crossovers and SUVs. For Mishawaka buyers who need a compact vehicle that can handle grocery runs, gear hauling, and occasional furniture pickups without a separate cargo vehicle, the Impreza hatchback layout covers a wide range of practical needs.
What safety technology comes standard on the new Subaru Impreza?
Subaru EyeSight Driver Assist Technology is standard on all new Impreza trims and includes automatic pre-collision braking, adaptive cruise control with lane centering, lane departure warning, and high beam assist. The system is designed to prevent or reduce the severity of collisions and to reduce highway driving fatigue on longer commutes. Additional available safety features on higher trims include blind-spot detection and rear cross-traffic alert. For Mishawaka commuters and Michiana area drivers who want a comprehensive foundation of active safety technology in a compact vehicle, the Impreza delivers that as a standard rather than optional feature.
What makes the Impreza RS worth considering over the base trims?
The Impreza RS is the performance-oriented top of the lineup and brings meaningful upgrades that go beyond cosmetic changes. The shift to a 2.5-liter BOXER engine with 182 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque represents a 30-horsepower gain over the Base and Sport trims. The RS-tuned sport suspension with Active Torque Vectoring improves cornering precision and handling response, giving the RS a noticeably sharper driving character on the winding roads and highway on-ramps around Mishawaka and South Bend. The RS also includes 18-inch alloys, RS-specific front styling, a standard sport interior with red accents, and paddle shifters for more driver-engaged gear selection through the CVT's eight-speed manual mode.

New Subaru Impreza for Sale in Mishawaka, IN at Gurley Leep Subaru
The new Subaru Impreza is available exclusively as a five-door hatchback and makes a compelling case in the compact car segment by delivering something its front-wheel-drive competitors cannot: standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive across every single trim level. For Mishawaka drivers who want an efficient, practical, and well-equipped compact car that can also handle the lake-effect snow and icy winter road conditions that the Northern Indiana region sees reliably every year, the Impreza addresses the AWD question before it ever has to be asked. At Gurley Leep Subaru on Grape Road in Mishawaka, our new Impreza inventory includes examples across the Base, Sport, and RS trim levels so you can experience the differences in person.
Gurley Leep Subaru is part of the Gurley Leep family of dealerships that has served Mishawaka and South Bend for decades. Our Driven to Give program means every new Impreza purchased at our Mishawaka dealership contributes to local schools and charitable organizations throughout the Michiana area. Our team is genuinely familiar with the Impreza across all three trim levels and will give you practical, accurate guidance about which version fits your driving needs rather than which one is easiest to sell.
- Standard Symmetrical AWD across all three Impreza trims gives Mishawaka buyers genuine all-weather traction on lake-effect snow and slick winter roads that front-wheel-drive competitors in the compact hatchback segment cannot provide.
- The five-door hatchback body provides up to 56 cubic feet of cargo space with rear seats folded, giving Mishawaka drivers a compact vehicle that handles daily practicality demands without the size and operating cost of a crossover.
- EyeSight Driver Assist Technology is standard on all three Impreza trims, giving every buyer access to adaptive cruise control with lane centering, automatic pre-collision braking, and lane departure warning regardless of the trim they choose.
The new Impreza's commitment to standard AWD is particularly relevant in the context of the Michiana area's driving environment. The lake-effect snow belt that covers Mishawaka, South Bend, Elkhart, and the surrounding region creates real winter road challenges, and a compact car with standard AWD handles those conditions in a meaningfully more capable way than a front-wheel-drive hatchback, no matter how capable the traction control system is. The Impreza removes the choice entirely by making AWD the only available configuration.
Drivers from South Bend, Elkhart, Granger, Chesterton, and across northern Indiana visit Gurley Leep Subaru specifically because the Impreza fills a practical niche that no front-wheel-drive compact hatchback can address for buyers who need dependable year-round traction.
Why the New Subaru Impreza Is a Smart Choice for Mishawaka Drivers
The Impreza's appeal is clearest when you consider what Mishawaka drivers actually need from a compact car over the course of a full year. From June through September, the Impreza is an efficient, well-equipped, and engaging daily driver with a hatchback layout that handles practicality demands effectively. From November through March, those same qualities remain, but the Symmetrical AWD adds a layer of all-weather confidence that FWD competitors lack. The AWD system continuously monitors wheel slip and distributes torque to maintain traction, which reduces the anxiety of winter driving on the roads around Mishawaka, through Elkhart County, and along the US-20 corridor.
The Impreza Sport and RS trims add a sport-tuned suspension that improves handling response and cornering precision without significantly compromising ride quality on Mishawaka's mix of highway and neighborhood roads. The RS's Active Torque Vectoring further sharpens the handling by applying gentle braking to the inside rear wheel during cornering to enhance turn-in response, giving the top Impreza trim a distinctly more engaging character than most compact hatchbacks in its price range. For Mishawaka drivers who want a compact car that is actually enjoyable to drive rather than simply practical, the RS delivers that without sacrificing the standard AWD that makes the Impreza relevant in the first place.
- The Impreza Sport's sport-tuned suspension, 18-inch alloy wheels, and 11.6-inch touchscreen give Mishawaka buyers a noticeably more dynamic and technology-forward package than the Base trim without stepping up to the RS's more powerful engine.
- Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, available on the Sport and RS trims, provide seamless smartphone integration without cable clutter, which is a practical daily quality-of-life improvement for Mishawaka commuters who use navigation and audio streaming regularly.
- The Impreza RS's 2.5-liter BOXER engine with 182 horsepower and paddle shifters through the CVT's eight-speed manual mode gives the top trim an engaged, driver-focused character while retaining the full-time AWD and hatchback practicality that defines the Impreza's identity.
The Impreza's track record for long-term reliability and low total cost of ownership over time is another practical factor worth weighing for Mishawaka buyers who intend to hold the vehicle for several years. Subaru's engineering reputation translates into a vehicle that tends to hold its value and deliver predictable maintenance costs across typical ownership timelines.
