2018 Toyota Corolla vs. 2018 Subaru Impreza

Toyota and Subaru are two of the most popular brands in the automobile industry. It can be quite difficult to pick one of the models, especially if the fight is between the 2018 Subaru Impreza and the 2018 Toyota Corolla. This comparison will help you in figuring out why Toyota is a better choice.

Design & Style

Exterior designing is quite remarkable for both the models. Talking about the interiors, the 2018 Subaru Impreza comes with a spacious cabin with sufficient space across both the rows. It can seat up to 5 people, with excellent visibility for drivers. Although it has an attractive cabin, it does not look stylish and posh as other rivals do. There are some top-notch materials on the surface, but the medium-grade plastics give you a bad feel about the cabin.

For the 2018 Toyota Corolla, the interiors have a wow factor with great accessibility and comfort across both rows of seating. Given a good ground clearance and sideway stretch, one can easily enter and exit the vehicle. The cargo space is sufficient to accommodate a few bags, and the seats are quite supportive for long drives. 

Technology & Safety

Both the models have a lot to offer in terms of technology and safety. The 2018 Subaru Impreza comes standard with an intuitive infotainment system, featuring Android Auto, Apple CarPlay and 6.5-inch touch screen. Although the base system is quite user-friendly, you have an option to upgrade. It is a standard choice with excellent graphics, straightforward menu layout and responsive touch screen. However, the model lacks in competition with lack of advanced safety features such as EyeSight Safety system. The only in-built safety feature is the basic rearview camera.

Speaking of the 2018 Toyota Corolla, no infotainment system can beat the level of interface and functionality offered by the Entune infotainment system of Toyota. It features Siri Eyes Free, a USB port, Bluetooth and a 6-speaker audio system. Along with crisp graphics, the system has a straightforward layout easy for anyone to understand.

Performance

Performance is one of the most important aspects of any vehicle. For the 2018 Subaru Impreza, it comes standard with a four-cylinder engine, producing an output of 152 HP, which is not enough to accelerate the car. In this regard, you have a better option in the 2019 Toyota Corolla producing smoother acceleration and higher output.

The Bottom Line

With the comparison of the above two models, it is quite clear that although Subaru has its own set of features to boast of, it does not outshine the overall package offered by Toyota Corolla, in terms of performance, technology and design.
