With their sporty styling, sculpted shape, and versatile cabin space, there’s so much to love about driving hatchbacks. The 2026 Subaru Impreza is available exclusively in a hatchback body style. Heritage Subaru Owings Mills is outlining what sets it apart.
Model History
The Subaru Impreza was first released in 1992 as a 1993 model. The first generations included sedan, wagon, and coupe body styles.
In 2008, the third generation introduced the five-door hatchback and included the four-door sedan as an option. This continued until the sixth generation, which began with the 2024 model year, and the model is now offered exclusively as a hatchback.
Hatchback Distinctions
While some consider the original wagon body style and hatchback as interchangeable, they do have a few key distinctions. The hatchback has a sportier style, which is set apart with its sloping roofline. It is smaller than the wagon, although they both offer flexible cabins.
The main distinction between a hatchback and a sedan is the hatchback’s rear liftgate, which opens to a cargo area behind the rear seats, rather than having a separate trunk.
Versatile Cabin Space
One of the biggest perks of driving hatchbacks is their versatile cabin space. The 2026 Subaru Impreza can seat five passengers comfortably, as well as hold an ample 20.4 cubic feet of cargo behind the rear seats. If you fold the rear seats down, you can carry up to 56 cubic feet of luggage, equipment, or gear inside the spacious cabin.
