Minor updates for the 2013 Subaru Impreza

By ,

The compact Impreza sedan and 5-door, totally redesigned for the 2012 model year, gets a few minor equipment adjustments for 2013.

Bluetooth phone connectivity will be standard in all Impreza trims, and that includes Bluetooth streaming audio as well. A media hub is also included in all versions, which includes a USB port for plugging in a thumb drive or connecting an iPod.

The 2013 Impreza with the Limited package gains a navigation system with voice recognition and a backup camera.

As with the 2012 model, the 2013 Subaru Impreza is available in base, Touring, Sport and Limited trim levels, with both 4-door and 5-door body styles. Power comes from a 148-hp, 2.0L flat-four BOXER engine, managed by either a 5-speed manual, a CVT automatic as well as full-time all-wheel drive.

The 2013 Subaru Impreza WRX and WRX STI are also now available, still based on the previous generation car.
