Subaru Impreza 2024 review: New 2.0L small hatch targets Toyota Corolla, Hyundai i30 and Kia Cerato

The 2024 Subaru Impreza has finally arrived in Australian showrooms, some 15 months after its global reveal, with the sixth-generation small hatchback closely related to the third-generation Crosstrek (nee XV) SUV that's been on sale locally since May 2023.

In fact, the similarities between the new Impreza and Crosstrek run so deep that key differences between the two are few and far between. After all, even the former comes with the Japanese brand's signature symmetrical all-wheel-drive system, which is unique for its class. That said, the latter does set itself apart with the option of a very mild hybrid powertrain.

In this expert review, CarsGuide Senior Journalist Tom White gets behind the wheel of the new Impreza's entry-level AWD 2.0L variant to find out if it and its 2.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol boxer four-cylinder engine have what it takes to challenge the Toyota Corolla, Hyundai i30 and Kia Cerato in a very challenging segment.
