What is the engine model of the Subaru Impreza?
2 Answers
Subaru Impreza STI's engine model is EJ204, which is a 2.5L turbocharged gasoline engine with a maximum power of 221 kW and a maximum torque of 407 Nm. It is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. The relevant introduction of Impreza is as follows: Impreza positioning: Impreza STI is a 4-door, 5-seater compact sedan under Subaru. Impreza appearance: The headlights of Impreza STI are blackened, and the grille part abandons the strip grille of the ordinary version and adopts a more sporty mesh. A large air intake on the front hood indicates the turbocharged characteristics of its engine. The lower air intake on the front bumper is larger, the fog lights are decorated with chrome rings, and the air ducts on both sides of the front bumper can also provide a large amount of cold air to the intercooler.
I've been commuting with a Subaru Impreza for several years and am familiar with their horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine design. The base Impreza has primarily used the EJ series since the 1990s, with early models featuring naturally aspirated EJ15 and EJ20 engines—durable and smooth. In the North American market, the EJ25 is more common, with a 2.5L displacement and around 180 horsepower, offering a low center of gravity for stable cornering. However, older models may experience oil consumption issues, so I regularly check to avoid leaks. Post-2000, the WRX sports version added turbocharged EJ205/EJ255 engines, boosting power to over 250 horsepower—thrilling but with higher fuel consumption. Newer models, like those after 2010, use FB20 or FB25 engines, which are more fuel-efficient, quieter, and easier to maintain, making them ideal for practical drivers like me who still enjoy driving. Before purchasing, I recommend checking the year and model to avoid high-mileage risks.
