Subaru Impreza
You can find a practical vehicle that’s not an SUV. Look at the Impreza. Redesigned for 2024, the Japanese hatchback boasts an excellent AWD system, a decently sized cargo area and a quieter, more comfortable interior with superb visibility. Engine selection includes naturally aspirated 2.0-litre and 2.5-litre units producing 152 horsepower and 182 horsepower, respectively. The manual transmission has been eliminated, leaving drivers with a CVT exclusively. Safety content has been updated, too.
