Comparison Review

Comfort
Due to its greater rear head- and legroom, backseat passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Subaru Impreza than the Toyota Prius Prime. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between the Subaru Impreza and the Toyota Prius Prime in the front seats.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Based on MSRP, the Subaru Impreza is clearly a better financial choice over the Toyota Prius Prime.

Dimensions
The Subaru Impreza is a little wider than the Toyota Prius Prime, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. The Subaru Impreza is slightly shorter than the Toyota Prius Prime, which may make it easier to park.

Handling
The Subaru Impreza has a larger turning radius than the Toyota Prius Prime, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Subaru Impreza is somewhat more powerful than the Toyota Prius Prime.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the engine of the Subaru Impreza does a much better job of transmitting power to the wheels than the Toyota Prius Prime.

Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Subaru Impreza and the Toyota Prius Prime.
