Powertrain Options and Availability

For the first two seasons, only one engine was available: a 1.8-liter, horizontally opposed 4-cylinder, making 110 horsepower. A larger (2.2-liter) "flat" engine, borrowed from the larger Legacy, became available in 1995. Midrange (L) models could have either a 5-speed manual transmission or 4-speed automatic, but the LS/LX came only with automatic and base/Brighton Imprezas only with manual shift. Engine outputs grew slightly in 1997, the 1.8 liter engine adding five horsepower and the 2.2-liter two. Legacy's larger 2.5-liter could be had in the Impreza 2.5 RS. It made 165 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque. By 1997, front drive models were gone, and all Imprezas had all-wheel drive.
