Word on the street says that the Subaru Impreza is a car designed to go off-road! Surprised? We understand!
When you think of going off-road in a vehicle, you’d easily think of referring to a Jeep. So what does that make Subaru?
Most buyers don’t take hatchback off-roading, so the Subaru Car attracts a different breed who do take their hatchbacks off-pavement.
Subarus that you can take on off-road adventures also have sleek designed interiors. These interiors may lean more on the side of durability rather than luxury, which adds to the reliability the car will need when going off-road.
The Impreza’s cabin is all functional, comfortable, and equipped with ample spacing.
As with other recent Subarus, it doesn’t go off-road without Subaru’s EyeSight Driver Assist technology system that helps drivers stay on the road (and off it) with as much safety and security. The technology system includes Autonomous Emergency Braking, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Adaptive Cruise Control, and more.
What is off-roading?
First off, what is off-roading?
Off-roading is termed as driving on an unpaved road. This involves any road that doesn’t have a smooth pavement. Any non-paved road is a fair and exciting game for off-roaders.
For most people, a rocky and muddy road would be a driver’s nightmare! However, for off-roaders, the rougher the road the better.
The natural terrain is the go-to choice for Subaru off-roaders. The unpaved terrain is ideally uneven and is extremely unpredictable. So, you have to prepare all you need for the proper equipment to perform off-road driving.
While it’s possible to go off-roading in any vehicle, a few selected trucks, SUVs and other off-roading vehicles are best suited to handle these bumps and bruises.
They tackle the terrain
A lot of Subaru car owners take their car off-road around the country with the off-road club’s adventure enthusiasts.
What is the ground clearance on a Subaru Impreza?
Currently, the Subaru Impreza has a ground clearance of 5.1 inches. This is both the sedan and hatchback versions.
What engine and technology does a Subaru Impreza have?
The Subaru Impreza is currently equipped with a four-cylinder engine. This four-cylinder makes 152 horsepower and 145 lb-ft of torque. The Subaru Impreza comes standard with an all-wheel-drive feature, which strikes a near-perfect balance between riding and handling.
For how stable it is, the body doesn’t even lean when you make sharp turns, although you will still need to take caution on doing that since sharp turns are risky.
Impreza’s centre console is dominated by an 8.0-inch infotainment touchscreen. This is accessible on any mobile phone. This includes both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatible.
Nonetheless, the latest Subaru Impreza has proven itself to be a unique take on the family hatchback concept, that can also take on off-road, fun adventures. It’s got good looks, enough space, just as much safety, and as well as great handling. So, it’s no wonder that off-roaders would opt for this Subaru model when they’ve got a new uneven terrain to conquer!
