Whether you are a young professional looking for a tech-forward commuter or a small family needing a versatile vehicle for school runs and soccer practice, the Impreza Sport delivers. It reflects a long-term commitment to durability and safety, ensuring that you feel confident behind the wheel regardless of the destination. We take pride in being more than just a dealership; we are a part of your community, and we are here to help you find a vehicle that feels like home.

Performance and Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive Capability

The heart of the 2026 Subaru Impreza Sport is its 2L H-4 gasoline direct injection engine, a powerplant engineered for both efficiency and responsiveness. Delivering a balanced 152HP, this engine utilizes a DOHC setup with variable valve control to ensure you have the power you need when merging onto the highway or navigating the rolling hills near Fennville. Paired with the CVT Lineartronic transmission, the driving experience is smooth and predictable, offering a Lock-up transmission feature and Overdrive transmission to optimize performance at cruising speeds.

Subaru is synonymous with capability, and the Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system is a testament to that legacy. Unlike many competitors, this is a Full-time AWD system, providing constant power to all four wheels for maximum traction. When the Michigan winter arrives or when you find yourself on the gravel paths around Sand Lake, the SI-DRIVE driver selectable drivetrain mode allows you to tailor the vehicles throttle response to suit the conditions. You can choose between a more fuel-efficient setting or a sportier feel, depending on your mood and the road ahead.

Efficiency is a major priority for our customers, and the Impreza Sport does not disappoint. With an EPA-estimated 27 city MPG and 33 hwy MPG, you can spend more time enjoying the drive and less time at the pump. The Auto stop-start engine further enhances fuel economy during city driving by pausing the engine when you are stopped at a light. To ensure a refined ride, the vehicle features a Four wheel independent suspension system, consisting of a Strut front suspension and a Double wishbone rear suspension, which works to soak up road imperfections and provide a stable, planted feel through every corner.

Intuitive Technology and Seamless Connectivity

In todays world, staying connected is not just a luxury; it is a necessity for the modern professional and active family. The 2026 Subaru Impreza Sport features a sophisticated 11.6 inch primary display that serves as the command center for your digital life. This Primary monitor touchscreen is designed with user-friendliness in mind, offering a clear interface that is easy to navigate even while on the move. With Smart device integration supporting MySubaru, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto smart device wireless mirroring, your favorite apps, podcasts, and navigation tools are always just a tap away.

Communication is effortless thanks to Handsfree Bluetooth handsfree wireless device connectivity and Voice activated audio controls. Whether you need to place a call to a client or change your playlist while driving through the Westside Connection, you can do so without ever taking your hands off the Steering wheel mounted audio controls. For those who prefer a traditional look with modern data, the Analog instrumentation display is complemented by a 4.20 inch gauge cluster display, providing vital vehicle information at a glance.

The cabin is equipped with 2 USB ports to keep your devices charged and ready for action. If you enjoy discovering new music or listening to your favorite local stations, the AM/FM/digital/SiriusXM satellite radio options provide endless entertainment. The system also includes Wireless streaming Bluetooth wireless audio streaming, allowing passengers to take turns sharing their favorite tracks. For those who want to stay informed about their driving habits, the ECO feedback display gauge provides real-time data on your efficiency, helping you make the most of every gallon of fuel.

Refined Comfort and Versatile Interior Space

Step inside the 2026 Subaru Impreza Sport and you are greeted by a cabin that prioritizes both comfort and utility. The Black interior features Sport Cloth Upholstery with Premium cloth front seat upholstery, providing a durable yet comfortable surface for all your travels. On those chilly Michigan mornings, the Heated front seats and Heated windshield wiper parkâ€"included in the All Weather Packageâ€"ensure you stay warm and your visibility remains clear. The Dual-zone front climate control and Voice-activated climate control allow both the driver and passenger to set their preferred temperatures, while Rear under seat climate control ducts keep those in the back comfortable as well.

Versatility is a hallmark of the Impreza hatchback design. The 60-40 folding rear seats allow you to expand the cargo area in seconds, making it easy to transport everything from groceries to outdoor gear for a trip to the parks near Sand Lake. The interior is thoughtfully designed with a Front seat center armrest, Rear seat center armrest, and Covered floor console storage to keep your personal items organized. For added convenience, the Power cargo area access release and Keyfob trunk control make loading and unloading a breeze.

Small details make a big difference in the daily ownership experience. The Auto-dimming rear view mirror and Exterior and Interior Auto Dimming HL Mirrors reduce glare from following headlights, while the Remote activated perimeter approach lighting with puddle lights provides a welcoming glow as you approach the vehicle at night. If you enjoy a bit of fresh air and natural light, the First-row sliding and tilting laminated glass sunroof is a fantastic addition. To keep your cargo secure and out of sight, this model includes a Roll-up cargo cover and a Cargo area tray/organizer to protect the Carpet cargo area floor.

Advanced Safety and Driver Assistance Systems

Safety is at the core of the Subaru brand, and the 2026 Impreza Sport is equipped with a comprehensive suite of protective technologies. The EyeSight Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering acts as an extra set of eyes on the road, helping you maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead and keeping you centered in your lane during long highway stretches. The EyeSight Pre-Collision Braking system provides forward collision mitigation and pedestrian impact prevention, while Pre-Collision Brake Assist can apply full braking force in emergency situations.

Awareness is key to safe driving, and this vehicle features Blind Spot Detection and Rear Cross Traffic Alert to help you navigate busy parking lots and multi-lane highways with confidence. The Rear-View Camera provides a clear look at what is behind you, and the Reverse Automatic Braking system can intervene if an obstacle is detected while backing up. For those moments when your attention might wander, the EyeSight Sway Warning driver attention alert provides a gentle reminder to stay focused on the task at hand.

The structural integrity of the Impreza is supported by a robust 9 airbag system, including Curtain first and second-row overhead airbags, Seat mounted side impact airbags, and a Driver side knee airbag. The 4-Wheel Disc Brakes with a Four channel ABS brakes system and Brake assist ensure reliable stopping power in various conditions. Families will appreciate the Manual rear child safety door locks and the Height adjustable front seat head restraints with Anti-whiplash protection, demonstrating Subarus commitment to protecting every passenger, big or small.

Athletic Exterior and Purposeful Design

The exterior of the 2026 Subaru Impreza Sport is finished in a striking Crystal Black Silica, a color that highlights the vehicles athletic lines and modern silhouette. The 18 x 7.5-inch machined aluminum wheels with painted accents give the hatchback a bold, grounded stance that looks just as good in a downtown Grand Rapids parking structure as it does in a driveway in Alto. The Rear lip spoiler and Body-colored bumpers add a touch of sportiness, while the Black grille and Active grille shutters enhance both aesthetics and aerodynamic efficiency.

Visibility is enhanced by LED low and high beam headlights that feature Steering Responsive Headlights (SRH) technology, which swivels the beams as you turn the steering wheel to illuminate corners more effectively. The Auto High-beam Headlights and LED front fog lights ensure you have the best possible view of the road, regardless of the weather or time of day. Heated driver and passenger side door mirrors with Turn signal indicator mirrors add both safety and convenience, especially during the frosty months.

The design is not just about looks; it is about functionality. The Liftgate rear cargo door provides a wide opening for easy access to the back, while the Light tinted windows offer a touch of privacy and help keep the interior cool. Every element, from the Body-colored door handles to the Stainless steel single exhaust, has been chosen to create a cohesive and durable exterior that is built to withstand the rigors of Michigan life for years to come.
