Is the Subaru Impreza AWD?

I live in the mountains, so my rear-wheel-drive car just isn’t cutting it when the weather is bad. As a result, I want to upgrade to an all-wheel-drive car, but I don’t have a huge budget. Does the Subaru Impreza offer AWD?

If you want an affordable option for mountain passes and treacherous roads, the
Subaru Impreza
has AWD as a standard feature on all of its trims. With an MSRP of $19,295, the Impreza is actually the most affordable car with AWD on the market today.
Under the hood, the Subaru Impreza sports a 2.0-liter, flat-four engine that produces 152 horsepower and 145 pound-feet of torque. It’s not exceptionally powerful, but paired with AWD and either a continuously variable transmission (CVT) or a five-speed manual transmission, it should get you where you need to go.
