2025 Subaru Impreza vs. 2025 Honda Civic Hatchback
When shopping hatchbacks, you have a lot of choices. The 2025 Subaru Impreza and 2025 Honda Civic Hatchback are both strong options. Let’s look at the pros and cons of both to find out which one comes out on top.
Available Trims
The Impreza comes in three available configurations, ranging from the budget-conscious Base model to the fully-equipped RS. The Civic comes in three trims, from the economical Sport to the higher-end Sport Touring Hybrid. We’ll find most of what these vehicles have to offer in the sport configuration, so let’s dig into the standard features of the 2025 Subaru Impreza Sport vs. the 2025 Honda Civic Hatchback Sport.
Performance and Fuel Efficiency
The Impreza is equipped with a zippy 2.0-liter SUBARU BOXER 4-cylinder engine, delivering 152 hp @ 6,000 rpm and 145 lb-ft torque @ 4,000 rpm. Its symmetrical all-wheel drive with vehicle dynamics control and Lineartronic® CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) with incline start assist and 8-speed manual mode make for a great driving experience. With an estimated fuel economy of 27 MPG city / 34 MPG highway, the Impreza strikes a good balance between power and efficiency.
The Civic packs a 4-cylinder engine under the hood for 150 hp @ 6,400 rpm and 133 lb-ft torque @ 4,000 – 5,000 rpm. For the drivetrain, we have front-wheel drive and continuously variable transmission. With an estimated 30 MPG city / 38 MPG highway, the Civic is a respectable option in terms of fuel efficiency.
In short, both the Impreza and Civic are capable performers in most conditions.
Driver Assist and Safety Features
The Subaru Impreza has an impressive suite of safety features. Standard driver-assistance features include EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology with pre-collision braking and throttle management, lane departure and sway warning, and advanced adaptive cruise control with lane centering.
The Honda Civic Hatchback also doesn’t kid around in terms of safety. The Civic comes with a driver assist package that includes collision and road departure mitigation, adaptive cruise control with low-speed follow, lane keeping assist, and more.
Interior and Infotainment
If you want a welcoming, unpretentious interior with thoughtful features, you’ll probably like the Impreza. Behind its attractive exterior styling is a 6-way adjustable driver’s seat, transmission paddle shifters, dual-zone automatic climate control and 100.5 cubic feet of passenger volume. The infotainment system features 6-speaker audio, Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration, SiriusXM® Travel Link®, Bluetooth® audio streaming and hands-free phone connectivity, and everything you need to feel at home behind the wheel.
We have no major complaints about the Civic’s interior. With a manually-adjustable driver’s seat, automatic climate control and 99.0 cubic feet of passenger volume, the cabin is both comfortable and functional. 8-speaker audio, Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility, Bluetooth® and more make for a serviceable infotainment setup.
Conclusion
Subaru is known for making extremely capable, safe, and reliable vehicles at a reasonable price point. The 2025 Subaru Impreza upholds the reputation. The 2025 Honda Civic Hatchback is also a solid pick. Both are excellent, but in our opinion, the Subaru Impreza takes the win.
