2025 Subaru Impreza vs. 2025 Toyota Corolla Hatchback
When shopping hatchbacks, you have plenty of choices. The 2025 Subaru Impreza and 2025 Toyota Corolla Hatchback are both solid options. Let’s review the specs of both to see how they stack up.
Available Trims
The Impreza comes in three available configurations, ranging from the economical Base model to the well-appointed RS. The Corolla comes in three trims, from the entry-level SE to the pricier XSE model. We’ll find most of what these vehicles have to offer without too many upgrades, so let’s review the standard features of the 2025 Subaru Impreza Sport vs. the 2025 Toyota Corolla Hatchback SE.
Performance and Fuel Efficiency
The Impreza packs a punchy 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 is both fun to drive and practical.
The Corolla comes with a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine under the hood for 169 hp @ 6,600 rpm and 151 lb-ft torque @ 4,800 rpm. For the drivetrain, we have front-wheel drive and continuously variable transmission. With an estimated 32 MPG city / 41 MPG highway, the Corolla is a practical choice when it comes to fuel efficiency.
Overall, both the Impreza and Corolla are more than serviceable performers in most conditions.
Driver Assist and Safety Features
The Subaru Impreza comes with an impressive lineup 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 Toyota Corolla Hatchback also doesn’t kid around when it comes to safety. The Corolla comes with a driver assist package that includes pre-collision system with pedestrian detection, lane departure alert with steering assist, automatic high beams, and more.
Interior and Infotainment
If you want a welcoming, unpretentious interior with thoughtful features, you’ll probably like the Impreza. Open the doors and you’ll discover 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 all the conveniences you’ve come to expect from a well-equipped vehicle.
We have no major complaints about the Corolla’s interior. With manually-adjustable front seats, automatic climate control, paddle shifters and 84.6 cubic feet of passenger volume, comfort shouldn’t be an issue. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility, SiriusXM®, Bluetooth® and more make for a nice enough infotainment setup.
Conclusion
Subaru is well known for making extremely capable, safe, and reliable vehicles at a reasonable price point. The 2025 Subaru Impreza is no exception. The 2025 Toyota Corolla Hatchback is also very well equipped. You can’t go wrong with either, but in our opinion, the Subaru Impreza can’t be beat.
