SUBARUImpreza 5 doors 2020 - 2022

　　Subaru introduced a facelifted version of the Impreza's fifth generation in Japan and then in the U.S. in the summer of 2019 for the 2020 model-year.

　　The Japanese automaker considered adding more goodies to its famous Impreza. Thus, apart from some visual upgrades, the 2020 model-year came with a new electrified drivetrain, better safety systems, and more standard features. Little did Subaru know at that time that the world was about to stop due to a global pandemic.

　　Thanks to its better design, the Impreza was no longer that vehicle suitable for everything but with an uninspired look. Moreover, the 2020 model-year, came on the market with a redesigned front fascia. Thus, the lower side of the bumper received a broad grille that stretched from side to side. In addition, the side scoops used for the fog lamps got lower chromed-satin trims. Previously, those slats were positioned on the upper area of the side scoops. Like its non-facelifted version, the 2020 Impreza was available either as a hatchback (five-door) or a sedan.

　　Inside, the 2020 Impreza received a standard 6.5" Subaru Starlink infotainment system with an option for an 8" touchscreen. In addition, the car also got the Subaru EyeSight Driver Assist Technology that included Automatic Pre-Collision Braking and Throttle Management, Lane Keep Assist, Lane Departure, and Sway Warning, as well as Lead Vehicle Start Alert. This feature was standard on all vehicles fitted with the Lineartronic CVT. As usual for a five-door hatchback, the rear seats featured a 60/40 split-folding system that extended the trunk space.

　　Underneath the hood, the most significant upgrade was the introduction of the e-Boxer, which included a 12.5 kW motor paired with the 2.0-liter engine. In addition, the Lineartronic CVT offered an option to manually change seven fixed-gear ratios.
