Subaru refreshed Impreza for 2020, building on the good reputation the little hatch built over many years. Although the changes are cosmetic, Impreza remains one of our favourite small cars.
It is great value, has top drawer safety, and a drivability once only associated with posh cars. It now has added safety, extra sound deadening, and better ride and handling.
I (INTELLIGENT) - power output in response to accelerator operation is moderate, creating smooth, environmentally-friendly performance. The Intelligent mode throttle characteristic is designed for low fuel consumption.
Outside:
Impreza appears little changed. The look is slightly muscular without being overdone.
There is a distinct “Japanese” look. Head and tail lights are LED. The slim front end and pert rear are relatively plain for those who prefer an understated look.
There are a few subtle character lines along the side to continue the simple, uncluttered look.
There are 4 models, 2.0, 2.0i, 2.0i Premium and 2.0i-S. Our car, the S, is the range topper with all the bells and whistles.
There is a standard sunroof for people who like a spot of sun. For summer, keep the dual-zone air conditioning set on deep freeze with everything closed up nice and tight. Exterior mirrors fold when you lock the doors.
Door locking is via proximity sensors, which allow the key to remain secreted safely about your person. Press the indented lines on the surface of the door handle to lock, the inner surface of the same handle to unlock. Check folding mirrors for locking confirmation rather than pulling on the door handle, for obvious reasons.
Unlocking the boot also unlocks all doors.

Great review and spot on.
We bought an Impreza S in 2017 and have been very happy with it. It’s safe, well equipped, reliablr, comfortable, economical and spacious. Pretty much all we wanted in a hatchback.
Great to hear! and a good drive too
I love your reviews man. You talk about everything without making it boring.
Cheers. Feel free to share it round!
Nothing can touch this vehicle at this price point, best value vehicle and fantastic on the road! Great review, really enjoyed it.
and drives well too.
Great review mate, all others bang on and on about the limited 2 litre sub-par boxer engine but not everyone is looking for thrills. I am searching for a smooth, comfortable and reliable ride experience, NOT a powerful sporty one.
Thank you for restoring my faith in this vehicle as it is my preference.
I bought recently in Thailand a 2020 XV - very much a lifted Impreza I believe. It was made in Malaysia. P level of trim etc, but it does not have a lot of the electronic gizmo's a similar model has in Oz. eg, no 'eyesight" which cuts a big hole in features. However it does have three excellent features which you didn't talk about but which I' m sure the Impreza would have. They are 1. Headlight washers which operate whenever you operate the screen washers. 2. The "no blind spot" window ahead of the rear view mirrors - very useful here where you are besieged by motor cycles in traffic appearing from nowhere, and 3. Headlights which look around a corner to light your way as you turn the wheel - very nifty! Very good headlights even without that refinement.
Cheers and thanks for your review.
that's very interesting indeed.
Loved this review and came at a good time as I am looking at this model. I'm not looking for excessive power just good strong road handling and great safety features. Thank you.
thanks for watching. feel free to share widely:)
fantastic job thanks for your thorough review
many thanks
LOVE the review thanks mate! Best one I seen all the ones I been looking at so far…50 or lore lol. Had a few questions though…I’m getting the 2019 version of this and not sure if it’s got all of those features(like the duel cameras when reverting) also. What was the button you pressed to to turn on SI drive? Thanks again. Can’t wait to get mine soon and test all it’s got out.
Ah ok. Just looked it up. It’s only the 2020 models and newer that have the SI-Drive. Damn. Ah well. Everything else is the same I think
not only that, but not all the models in the range had it, just to complicate things further
Good work...simple and clear explanation
Glad you liked it. feel free to share, and make sure you come back!:)
Hi, very nice review! This car has a very nice color, what is it called? is it a UK only option? I am in Canada and I dont see it as an option here.
it is called Jasper Metallic Green in the australian Website (not uk:)) And yes it appears to be on the canadian website too
Love your enthousiasm
cheers:)
Such a pleasant voice !
It sounds young & healthy.
is that good or bad?:)
Getting mine delivered today 🙂
This is honestly the first car I'll have owned that's less than a decade old 😅
you won't know yourself. it is brilliant
The hatchback is the most important upgrade you can get on the Impreza.
the Royal National Park (just south of Sydney Australia)
How do you compare this with XV driving wise? I like both and this has more space. But XV has much more ground clearance.
they feel the same to drive, apart from height, as you said.
This car suits my family better than Corolla as I have 2 small kids. Great video 👍
we grew up in a subaru! many very good memories
I'm getting one! The L type.
And I love the setting: at the Royal National Park :)
it is very pretty there!
I test drive this model after a massive ice an snow storm
True to it’s word all wheel drive is the only way to go and it really works wow wow wow wow wow
I had to do a quick maneuver there was something in the road and the car stuck
I had to pull over cause of the snow plows and the snow and ice on the side of the road did not suck me into a ditch
Even at stop lights the car moves no wheel slipping ever
brilliant isn't it
Good review. Plenty of pros, but were there any cons?
depends on how you view CVTs. other than that, no real cons. This was one of those rare cars where we thought what they've done, they've done well. looks and cabin design work, but whether people like it is a matter for them
Where did you film this video? It’s beautifully shot👍
Royal National Park south of sydney Australia (on the grand Pacific Drive)
@@AnyAutoTV cheers, I must go for a drive down there 👍
How did you feel about the stop start at a set of lights etc?
drives me mad and i usually turn it off
@@AnyAutoTV Oh! The dealership told me I couldn't turn it off. thank you
Hmm, I'll have to check now. you can on every other brand and i am sure i did on that too. But that review was quite a while ago. I'll check and get back to you.
I've checked again with Subaru, and the defult position is "always on", as it is with most brands, but there is an off button. You need to switch the system off each time you start the car.
What’s the difference between the 2019 and 2020 top of the range?
I don't think there was a change, but could be wrong. It's been quite a while since I drove one
I'm seeing a lot of my 2014 Forrester in this interior.
it's not a world away from it
Nice camera details..
Thanks for watching
impatiently waiting for mine to be delivered in 3 weeks.
enjoy!
Personally been wanting a Subaru bc subie. I always got shit about the only one thats fast is the WRX. Though I keep saying I dont care about the speed, I wont be using that extra few horsepower on the road. I want to go offroad and camping.
Looking at getting a Impreza or Forester soon.
i'd think forester had that bit extra ground clearance
@@AnyAutoTV thanks, will look into that after the covid stuff dissipates.
Jatco CVT doesn't scare you from a reliability point of view?
I haven't had much personal experience with older CVTs, and no readers have complained as yet. The car makers say they are reliable, but only time will tell.
@@AnyAutoTV Fair enough, at least Subaru use the chain style CVTs rather than the steel belt style.
And, it is one of the better ones we've driven. to be honest, most of the time you are not aware that it isn't a regular auto.
Subaru make their own CVTs, not Jatco.
The secret to the CAT, is leave it alone. DO NOT SERVICE THE CVT. Subaru says to not service it. I own 2 CVTs not one issue with either of them
Whilst I quite like this vehicle, and Subaru in general, there wasn’t one thing I recall being a negative in this review. Or did I miss it?
not a negative that we could find. Can you suggest anything that isn't done well?
@@AnyAutoTV the joke telling needs work
@@seth1455 I mean it competes directly with the Toyota Corolla and Mazda 3. There are things that are worse or better in each of those that you can easily find out by watching a review of one of those. The Imprezza is cheaper and more practical.
I like the Canadian version better, among others because 1 - we have a stick shift, which I chose, 2 - the hand brake is manual and not electronic and 3 - my car has Android Auto (I don't use Apple at all). I'm getting 9 L/100km city and 6.7 L/100Km highway. On top of that there is no better car for driving in our Canadian winters
it is a great shame they've dropped most of the manual gear boxes here. but no one was buying them
I’m picking this car up next month. I would have loved for it to be a manual and was tossing up between this and the Toyota Corolla (the only hatch with a manual transmission in Australia) but at the end of the day the Subi won out for the all wheel drive. As much as I love a manual car I really do need that all wheel drive more. Also the Impreza looks nicer.
And what about fuel economy ?
Engine: 2.0L Boxer 4 cyl (aka flat four, horizontally opposed)
Power: 115kw @ 6,000rpm
Torque: 196Nm @ 4,000rpm
Transmission: CVT automatic
Drive wheels: All-Wheel-Drive (summetrical with Active Toque Split)
Economy (L/100K):
urban 9.1
Rural - 9.1
combined - 7.2
CO2: 163g/k
Fuel Tank: 50L
Symmetrical all wheel drive generally means it will have slightly less fuel efficiency compared to non AWD models.
I love the shape a lot, but the boxer engine and subaru's longevity and DIY is kind of a pain. NO other make/model make any good hatches / wagons no more.
true that
Cerato GT?
Why does this guy talk like David Attenborough....
Wow, wheel is on the wrong side!
yeah sorry about that! It happens:)
