New 2026 Subaru Impreza in Bellevue, NE
Here is the Impreza's quiet advantage: all-wheel drive comes standard at a price where rivals do not offer it at all. The Honda Civic Hatchback, Toyota Corolla Hatchback, and Mazda3 Hatchback cannot match that, and the Impreza still returns up to 33 mpg. The hatchback body holds up to 120.9 cubic feet of total interior volume and 20.4 cubic feet of cargo space, more than the Corolla or Mazda3 hatchbacks offer. Standard equipment includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, 18-inch alloy wheels, EyeSight Driver Assist Technology, and new for 2026, rear seat side airbags. It earned a 5-Star Overall Score from NHTSA and is a Consumer Reports Recommended Model. Explore our Impreza inventory at Morrie's Bellevue Subaru.

Hatchback Only, and Better For It
The Impreza is built exclusively as a five-door hatchback now, which is why it swallows more than the sedans it used to share a showroom with. Eighteen-inch alloy wheels are standard on both trims, and a power moonroof is available on either.
Interior
More Room Than the Price Suggests
Up to 120.9 cubic feet of total interior volume and 20.4 cubic feet of cargo space beat both the Toyota Corolla Hatchback and Mazda3 Hatchback. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, as are new rear seat side airbags.
Two Ways to Build a 2026 Impreza
Both trims include standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, 18-inch alloy wheels, EyeSight Driver Assist Technology, the Subaru Multimedia System, and an optional power moonroof. The difference is what sits under the hood.
2026 Impreza
Sport
2.0-liter SUBARU BOXER
33/27 MPG hwy/city
The efficiency choice and the most affordable route to standard all-wheel drive anywhere in the Subaru lineup. Eighteen-inch alloys come standard, not as an upgrade.
2026 Impreza
RS
2.5-liter SUBARU BOXER
33/26 MPG hwy/city
The larger 2.5-liter engine brings meaningfully more power for merging and passing, and costs you just one mpg in the city to get it.
The 2026 Impreza: All-Wheel Drive Without the Premium
Most compact hatchbacks ask you to choose between an affordable price and all-weather traction. The Impreza removes that choice by making Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive standard on both trims, at a price point where the Honda Civic Hatchback, Toyota Corolla Hatchback, and Mazda3 Hatchback simply do not offer it. Fuel economy still reaches up to 33 mpg, so the capability does not arrive as a tax at the pump. For a Bellevue driver who faces unplowed streets several mornings a winter, that combination is the whole argument.
Space is the second surprise. The hatchback body delivers up to 120.9 cubic feet of total interior volume and 20.4 cubic feet of cargo room, both more than the Corolla Hatchback or Mazda3 Hatchback provide. Fold the rear seats and the Impreza handles bikes, camping gear, or a large dog crate with room that its exterior dimensions do not advertise. Eighteen-inch alloy wheels and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard on both the Sport and the RS.
Safety was upgraded this year. Rear seat side airbags are newly standard for 2026, joining standard EyeSight Driver Assist Technology and a suite of available active safety features. NHTSA awarded a 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score. On longevity, Subaru reports 94 percent of Imprezas sold in the last decade are still on the road, more than the Civic, Corolla, Mazda3, or Elantra.

2026 Subaru Impreza: Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Impreza Sport and RS?
The engine. The Sport uses a 2.0-liter SUBARU BOXER and returns 33/27 mpg, while the RS steps up to a 2.5-liter BOXER with noticeably more power for highway merging and passing, costing just one mpg in the city at 33/26. Both include standard all-wheel drive, 18-inch alloys, EyeSight, and the Subaru Multimedia System.
Does the Impreza come as a sedan?
No. The 2026 Impreza is built exclusively as a five-door hatchback. That is why it offers up to 120.9 cubic feet of total interior volume and 20.4 cubic feet of cargo space, numbers a sedan of this size could not reach. If you want a Subaru sedan, the WRX is the remaining option.
Does every Impreza have all-wheel drive?
Yes. Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive is standard on both the Sport and the RS, with no front-wheel-drive version offered. That is the Impreza's central advantage over the Honda Civic Hatchback, Toyota Corolla Hatchback, and Mazda3 Hatchback, none of which match that standard capability.
How much cargo space does the Impreza have?
Up to 20.4 cubic feet of cargo space and 120.9 cubic feet of total interior volume, both more than the Toyota Corolla Hatchback or Mazda3 Hatchback. Folding the rear seats opens the space up considerably, which is what makes the Impreza practical for bikes, gear, or a weekend move.
What safety features are standard for 2026?
EyeSight Driver Assist Technology is standard, and rear seat side airbags became standard this year for added all-around impact protection. A suite of additional active safety features is available. The 2026 Impreza earned a 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score from NHTSA, and Subaru has been rated number one in safety for seven consecutive years.
Is the Impreza reliable?
Subaru reports that 94 percent of Imprezas sold in the last ten years are still on the road today, more than the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, Mazda3, or Hyundai Elantra by that measure. Coverage includes a 3-year or 36,000-mile limited warranty and a 5-year or 60,000-mile powertrain warranty covering the engine, transmission, and all-wheel drive.
Should I choose the Impreza or the Crosstrek?
They share a great deal, including the hatchback body and standard all-wheel drive. The Impreza sits lower, costs less, and handles more crisply on pavement. The Crosstrek adds significant ground clearance, protective cladding, and a Wilderness trim for genuine off-road use. If you rarely leave pavement, the Impreza gives you the same all-weather confidence for less. See our Impreza inventory or drive both at our Bellevue store.
