In the world of small sedans, it's hard to stand out from the crowd. The 2019 Subaru Impreza, however, succeeds. It's a small car with standard all-wheel drive and exceptional value. It has a lower starting MSRP than the 2019 Honda Civic, but it offers so much. Below, we compare these two compact cars and point out some key differences. Once you've seen how impressive the Subaru Impreza is, we invite you to come take one for a test drive at Byers Airport Subaru.
Subaru Impreza vs Honda Civic: Interior Dimensions & Comfort
The 2019 Honda Civic has 97.8 cubic feet of passenger volume, which is more room than you'd get from most other small cars. The Subaru Impreza, however, is not most other small cars. It has 99.8 cubic feet of passenger volume, a full two cubic feet more than the Honda Civic. With more room to spread out, you and your passengers will enjoy the drive better. The Subaru Impreza also offers features like heated front seats at a lower trim level than the Honda Civic, so you can get great comfort for less.
Subaru Impreza vs Honda Civic: Tech & Connectivity
The 2019 Subaru Impreza is equipped with a STARLINK™ Multimedia system with a 6.5-inch touchscreen. This is more impressive than the 5-inch LCD screen that comes standard on the Honda Civic. When it comes to staying connected, the Subaru Impreza is also better equipped. It comes standard with connectivity through Apple CarPlay™ and Android™ Auto integration. These features aren't available at all on the entry-level Honda Civic; you have to upgrade to get them.
Subaru Impreza vs Honda Civic: Performance
On paper, the Subaru Impreza and the Honda Civic may seem to have similar performance. Their engines do put out similar horsepower and, when equipped with the automatic transmission, they both get the same top gas mileage. However, the 2019 Impreza has a SUBARU BOXER® engine, which gives it exceptional balance, a low center of gravity, and a smooth ride. The Honda Civic, on the other hand, has an inline engine.
In addition, every Subaru Legacy has Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. This gives it extra traction, making it easier for you to navigate a variety of road surfaces. The Honda Civic is front-wheel drive only.
Subaru Impreza vs Honda Civic: Safety Ratings
The standard AWD goes a long way towards making the Subaru Impreza safe, but it's far from the only feature. Subaru has worked hard to make the Impreza a car that protects you and your family, and that hard work has paid off. Every year, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gives out its Top Safety Pick awards. The 2019 Subaru Impreza earned the most prestigious award offered by IIHS: the 2019 Top Safety Pick+. The 2019 Honda Civic, by comparison, won no IIHS awards at all. IIHS rated its headlights, an important safety feature, as Poor--the worst possible rating.
Subaru Impreza vs Honda Civic: Other Features
The 2019 Subaru Impreza is designed to be impressively versatile--that's the Subaru way. Roof crossbar mounting points are standard, making it easier for you to bring bikes, kayaks, skis, or more cargo along with you. These mounting points can't be found on a factory-equipped Honda Civic. In addition, the 2019 Subaru Impreza has available LED Steering Responsive Headlights. These improve your visibility when you turn in the dark. As you may have guessed from the IIHS rating, features like this are not available on the Honda Civic.
