2026 Subaru Impreza

2026 Subaru Impreza in Chicago, IL

The 2026 Subaru Impreza has arrived at Berman Subaru of Chicago, proving that you don't need a massive footprint to have massive capability. Now exclusively available as a versatile 5-door hatchback, the 2026 Impreza is perfectly sized for squeezing into tight street parking spots in Lincoln Park while still offering the cargo space to haul furniture or gear. For 2026, Subaru has simplified the lineup by making the Sport trim the new entry point. This means every new Impreza owner enjoys upgraded performance styling and advanced technology as standard equipment, making it the dream value in its class.

Interior

The cabin of the 2026 Impreza is surprisingly spacious and packed with tech. By eliminating the previous base model, every 2026 Impreza now comes standard with the impressive 11.6-inch vertical touchscreen display. This command center puts control of your music, climate, and vehicle settings at your fingertips.

The Sport trim features premium cloth upholstery with red contrast stitching, adding a racy vibe to your daily commute. For those who choose the powerful RS trim, the interior is elevated further with gunmetal accents, aluminum-alloy pedal covers, and exclusive RS badging on the seats and floor mats.

Exterior

The 2026 Impreza wears a sleek, aerodynamic design that looks fast even when standing still. The hatchback shape is both stylish and functional, featuring a wide rear gate opening that swallows luggage with ease. A new, vibrant paint option—Citron Yellow Pearl—joins the palette this year, ensuring you can find your car instantly in a crowded lot.

All models now ride on 18-inch alloy wheels that fill the arches perfectly and provide a stable, planted feel on the road. The RS trim adds dark gray wheels and black finish on the grille and side mirrors for a menacing, custom look.

Performance

Performance in the 2026 Impreza is tailored to your driving style. The Sport trim is powered by a reliable 2.0-liter BOXER® engine producing 152 horsepower, perfect for efficient city driving. For those who crave more excitement, the RS trim packs a 2.5-liter engine delivering 182 horsepower, providing brisk acceleration for highway passing.

Both engines are paired with a sport-tuned suspension that makes the Impreza genuinely fun to drive in the corners. Of course, standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive gives you the traction advantage you need when Chicago winters turn the roads to slush.

Safety Features

Subaru places a high priority on safety, regardless of vehicle size. The 2026 Impreza comes standard with the award-winning EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology. A new feature for 2026 is the addition of Emergency Lane Keep Assist on models equipped with Blind-Spot Detection.

This system can provide automatic steering assistance to help avoid a collision if you drift toward a vehicle in your blind spot. Additionally, the new Auto Vehicle Shutdown feature prevents the engine from idling unintentionally for long periods, enhancing safety and fuel conservation.
