Subaru Impreza Specs

Every Subaru Impreza generation, measured

One row per generation. Watch the weight column — that is where most of the change happens for the Subaru Impreza, 683 lb of it since 1994, and it is the number that decides fuel use, tyre wear and how far the car takes to stop.

From 1994 to today the Impreza gained 3.9″ of length (2%) and 683 lb of weight (27%). A modern compact often outweighs the mid-size car of a generation before.

Impreza year by year

Measured every model year, not just at generation changes — 33 years on record for the Subaru Impreza. Small moves inside a generation are facelifts; the jumps are the 6 new platforms below.

Will a Impreza fit

The practical question behind every dimensions search, and for a 14.7-foot Subaru Impreza it has a straight answer. A single-car garage in the US is typically 20 feet deep and a street parking space about 18, so the Impreza clears the garage by 4.3 ft. We allow a foot of clearance in both — nobody parks to the millimetre.

Against cars of the same length

Compared with 845 vehicles within ten inches of the same length — a fair proxy for «cars of this size», regardless of what the marketing calls them.

A longer wheelbase for the same overall length means shorter overhangs — usually more cabin space and a steadier ride. At 3,247 lb the Subaru Impreza is right on the class average, which generally shows up as fuel economy and stopping distance.

How we measure

Dimensions come from NHTSA vPIC and Transport Canada vehicle records — manufacturer-declared figures, held in metric and converted to inches and pounds for display, 33 measured model years for the Subaru Impreza between 1994 and 2026.

One row per generation, not per model year: manufacturers rarely change the body between facelifts, and the Subaru Impreza fits into 6 rows instead of 33. Where a generation offered several body styles, the figures are the base measurements for that generation of the Subaru Impreza.
