If you’re in the market for a compact hatchback that is as comfortable in the city as it is traversing off the beaten path, you’re likely to come across the 2021 Subaru Impreza. Subaru is known for manufacturing tough, durable, and adventure-ready vehicles, and the 2021 Subaru Impreza embodies all of these traits.
Buyers are also likely to research competitors such as the Honda Civic, which also comes in a hatchback body style. Here is a side-by-side comparison.
Performance
Both the 2021 Honda Civic and the 2021 Subaru Impreza come with body sedan and hatchback body styles. Looking under the hood, the new Subaru car has a durable SUBARU BOXER engine that focuses on both power and efficiency. In fact, it helps the hatchback achieve up to 36 miles per gallon on the highway. While the Honda Civic has also a turbocharged engine, it only achieves 35 miles per gallon on the highway.Where the 2021 Subaru Impreza really shines is its Symmetrical All-Wheel-Drive system. The balanced design of this system creates uniform stability and delivers an optimal distribution of power for maximum traction on all surfaces. No other automaker gives you the confidence and all-weather capability of all-wheel drive in a sedan or hatchback. In contrast, the 2021 Honda Civic does not have an all-wheel-drive option available.
Infotainment
The higher trim levels of the 2021 Subaru Impreza have high-end features of the STARLINK Multimedia system. For instance, you’ll find wireless pairing, hands-free smartphone operation, cloud-based apps, a voice-activated navigation system, and an eight-inch touchscreen.
The 2021 Honda Civic also has an infotainment system, but Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ do not come standard like they do in the Impreza.
