2009 Subaru Impreza 2.5i Hatchback Trim Overview

The five-door, all-wheel-drive 2009 Subaru Impreza 2.5i Hatchback is powered by a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, paired with a five-speed manual transmission with hill-holder clutch. Traction control means power is delivered responsibly to its 16-inch wheels with wheel covers. A rear spoiler is found here, absent on non-hatchback trims. Power mirrors, windows, door locks, and remote keyless entry are all standard. The front bucket seats are covered in cloth, along with the split-folding rear, and the driver’s seat has height adjustability. Air conditioning and cruise control are included, and a cargo cover and center console provide storage and privacy. A tilt steering wheel allows for further adjustability, while a tachometer, trip computer, outside temperature indicator, and floormats add a bit of luxury to even this base trim. The AM/FM/CD/MP3 player lacks a digital-media connection, however the hatchback adds a variable-intermittent rear wiper and washer to complement the rear defogger and front variable-intermittent wipers.

Safety features for the 2.5i Hatchback include dual front, front side, and curtain-side airbags, four-wheel antilock disc brakes with brake assist and anti-skid, a tire pressure monitor, front-seat active head restraints, daytime running lights, and a theft-deterrent system.
