2017 Subaru Impreza 2.0i Sport: Master the Seasons with Confidence

Imagine starting your morning in the quiet, suburban neighborhoods of Calcutta, OH, where the rolling hills and scenic valleys require a vehicle that feels as planted as it is nimble. Whether you are navigating the winding backroads near the Ohio-Pennsylvania border or heading into the city for a busy afternoon, the 2017 Subaru Impreza 2.0i Sport provides the perfect balance of athletic performance and daily practicality. This Lithium Red Pearl hatchback is designed for those who value a connected driving experience, offering a level of engagement that makes even the most routine errands feel like an adventure.

From the historic, industrial streets of East Liverpool, OH, to the modern urban bustle of the surrounding areas, this Impreza stands out with its sharp styling and versatile hatchback body. It is a vehicle built for the local lifestyle—one that involves weekend fishing trips along the Ohio River, morning commutes to professional hubs, and the peace of mind needed to handle unpredictable Northeastern Ohio weather. With its low center of gravity and driver-centric cockpit, this Sport trim ensures that every mile spent behind the wheel is rewarding, reliable, and uniquely yours.

Performance & Capability

At the heart of the 2017 Subaru Impreza 2.0i Sport is a 2L H-4 gasoline direct injection engine, featuring a DOHC configuration and variable valve control that produces a spirited 152HP. This aluminum engine block is longitudinally mounted, a hallmark of Subaru design that contributes to the vehicle's exceptional balance and stability. For the driving enthusiast in Lowellville, OH, who appreciates total control over their machine, the 5-speed manual transmission with overdrive offers a crisp, engaging shift feel that is increasingly rare in modern vehicles.

The legendary All-Wheel Drive system is standard, providing permanent locking hub control and all-speed ABS and driveline traction control. This setup is essential for navigating the steep slopes and riverfront bluffs of the Appalachian Plateau, ensuring you have grip when the pavement turns slick. The Sport ride suspension features an independent front strut suspension and a double wishbone rear suspension, complemented by gas-pressurized shock absorbers and front and rear anti-roll bars. This combination delivers a firm, responsive ride that handles corners with precision while maintaining comfort on longer highway stretches, where you can expect up to 30 HWY MPG.

Technology & Connectivity

The interior of the Impreza 2.0i Sport is a hub of modern connectivity, centered around the Subaru Starlink 8.0-inch Multimedia Plus System. This high-resolution primary monitor touchscreen serves as your command center, featuring Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smart device mirroring. Whether you are navigating the complex interchanges of Pittsburgh, PA, or streaming your favorite playlist on a drive through the valley, the Bluetooth® wireless audio streaming and hands-free connectivity keep you focused on the road while staying fully informed.

Drivers will appreciate the dual-screen setup in the first row, including a 4.20-inch gauge cluster display that provides vital vehicle information at a glance. The voice-activated audio controls allow you to adjust your environment without taking your hands off the leather-wrapped steering wheel, which also houses convenient steering wheel mounted audio controls. With two USB ports and an auxiliary input jack, keeping your devices charged and connected is effortless. The system also includes SiriusXM Travel Link for real-time weather updates, ensuring you are always prepared for changing conditions during your travels.

Comfort & Interior

Inside, the cabin is refined with Premium cloth front seat upholstery in a sleek Black finish, accented by chrome and metal-look interior details and simulated carbon fiber inserts. The Heated front seats are a welcome luxury during cold mornings in the tri-state area, providing immediate warmth for both the driver and front passenger. The driver's seat offers 6-way manual directional controls, including height adjustment, ensuring a perfect ergonomic position for any journey.

Practicality is woven into every detail, from the 60-40 folding rear seats that expand your cargo capacity to the roll-up cargo cover that keeps your belongings out of sight. The interior environment is managed by a manual climate control system with dedicated rear under-seat climate control ducts to keep all five passengers comfortable. Added conveniences like remote keyless entry, push-button start, and power windows with one-touch up/down functionality for the front row make daily use seamless. Even the small details, such as the leather gear shifter material and sport style pedals, reinforce the athletic character of the Sport trim.

Safety & Driver Assistance

Subarus commitment to protection is evident in the comprehensive safety suite found in this Impreza. The vehicle is equipped with a total of 7 airbags, including dual front impact airbags, seat-mounted side impact airbags, and curtain overhead airbags for both rows. A specialized driver side knee airbag provides an extra layer of protection in the event of a collision. The Exterior Parking Camera Rear provides a clear view behind the vehicle, making it easy to back into tight spots or navigate busy parking lots with confidence.

Braking performance is handled by 4-wheel disc brakes with ventilated front discs, supported by a 4-channel ABS system and Brake Assist. To further enhance stability, the Impreza features Active Torque Vectoring, a brake-actuated limited-slip differential that helps the vehicle rotate more effectively through turns. Additional safety features include manual rear child safety door locks, an electronic stability control system, and a tire-specific low air pressure warning system to monitor your connection to the road.

Exterior & Design

The exterior of this Impreza is finished in a striking Lithium Red Pearl, a monotone paint that highlights the vehicle's sculpted lines and aggressive stance. The Sport trim is distinguished by its 18-inch machined aluminum alloy wheels with painted accents, wrapped in P225/40VR18 all-season tires. A body-colored rear lip spoiler and black grille give the hatchback a contemporary, energetic look that fits perfectly in an urban landscape like Pittsburgh, PA.

Functional design elements abound, including LED daytime running lights and halogen headlights with auto on/off control and a delay-off feature. The Heated door mirrors and heated windshield wiper park area are essential features for clearing ice and snow quickly during harsh winters. Active grille shutters improve aerodynamic efficiency, while light tinted windows provide a touch of privacy and sun protection. The body-colored door handles and mirrors, combined with black side window trim, create a cohesive and premium aesthetic from every angle.
