Question 1

What are the specifications and trims of the 2022 Subaru Impreza in Canada?

Accepted Answer

The 2022 Subaru Impreza is available in Canada in two body styles: a 4-door sedan and a 5-door hatchback (called Sport Hatch). Both are powered by the naturally aspirated 2.0L Boxer four-cylinder engine producing 152 hp and 145 lb-ft of torque, paired either with a 6-speed manual transmission (base trims) or the Lineartronic CVT. Standard symmetrical AWD is included on all trims — a segment exclusive among affordable compact cars in 2022, where most competitors offer AWD only as an option on certain configurations. Trim levels in Canada range from Convenience (approximately $23,995 for the sedan with manual) to Sport-tech (approximately $32,495 for the hatchback with CVT). The Sport trim adds heated seats, an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, 17-inch alloy wheels, and LED headlights. The sedan trunk offers 345 litres, and the hatchback provides 588 litres with rear seats in place (1,565 litres folded). EyeSight is available on CVT-equipped versions. The base warranty is 3 years/60,000 km, powertrain 5 years/100,000 km, perforation corrosion 5 years unlimited mileage.

Question 2

Why choose a 2022 Subaru Impreza over a Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla in Canada?

Accepted Answer

The main argument for the 2022 Subaru Impreza versus the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla is the standard symmetrical AWD on every single trim — a decisive advantage for Canadian drivers who regularly face snow, ice, and slush. The 2022 Civic and 2022 Corolla are exclusively front-wheel drive vehicles, except for the Corolla hybrid in an AWD-e version with limited effectiveness. Subaru's Impreza AWD delivers superior traction in difficult conditions without any additional equipment cost. In exchange, the Impreza shows a performance deficit: the 2.0L engine producing 152 hp is less spirited than the Civic's 1.5L turbo (158 hp) or the Corolla's 2.0L (169 hp), and Subaru's CVT transmission receives lower agreeability ratings than the Honda CVT. The Impreza's combined fuel consumption is approximately 8.4 L/100 km, comparable to the Civic and Corolla. The 2022 Impreza benefits from the EyeSight system (available on CVT) which earns strong safety evaluations. For families in northern regions, in the mountains, or for inexperienced young drivers, the standard AWD justifies the choice of the Impreza. For urban drivers who prioritize driving dynamics and interior space, the Civic or Corolla remain superior options. The Impreza's entry price ($23,995) is comparable to or slightly higher than its rivals.

Question 3

What are the insurance costs and reliability of the 2022 Subaru Impreza in Canada?

Accepted Answer

The 2022 Subaru Impreza shows a satisfactory reliability profile, with some nuances. The 2.0L Boxer engine is a proven block, although Subaru has received reports of elevated oil consumption on some examples — checking the oil level between oil changes is advisable. Subaru CVT transmissions are generally reliable but require specific CVT fluid replacement every 80,000 km to ensure longevity. Subaru's symmetrical AWD system is one of the most robust in the market with decades of real-world testing. Consumer Reports ranks the Impreza in the average range of its class for overall reliability. Auto insurance for a 2022 Subaru Impreza in Canada is generally affordable: in Ontario, expect $1,800 to $2,800 per year for a driver aged 25 to 45 depending on profile, postal code, and deductible level; in Quebec, $900 to $1,500 (SAAQ plus property damage coverage), making it one of the least expensive compact cars to insure in the province thanks to its safety reputation. In British Columbia, the base ICBC insurance for an Impreza is estimated between $1,200 and $1,700 annually. Maintenance costs are comparable to those of the Civic or Corolla: approximately $800 to $1,200 per year for moderate mileage of 18,000 km with service at a Subaru dealership.
