See How the All-New 2017 Subaru Impreza Compares to the 2017 Volvo S60 AWD in the Denver Metro Area
As you consider your next new car, you probably aren't thinking too much about how an expensive Volvo compares to a value-packed Subaru. After all, these are brands that compete in very different markets. So, why would we compare the all-new 2017 Subaru Impreza to the 2017 Volvo S60 with all-wheel drive? We compared the facts behind these two cars to show you just how much more you get for your money when you choose the all-new 2017 Subaru Impreza. The 2017 Impreza introduces the new Subaru Global Platform which is lighter, stronger, and quieter for an experience that's more common in high-dollar luxury cars like the Volvo. Read through the following details to find out more, then schedule your next test drive at Mike Shaw Subaru.
| 2017 Subaru Impreza |  | 2017 Volvo S60 AWD |
| $18,395 | Starting MSRP | $35,950 |
| 63% | Standard Lease Residual Value (24 Months) | 47% |
| 28 City - 38 Highway | Fuel Economy with Automatic Transmission (MPG) | 23 City - 31 Highway |
| Up to 100.9 Cubic Feet | Passenger Volume | 93 Cubic Feet |
How Does the Design of the All-New 2017 Subaru Impreza Compare to the 2017 Volvo S60 AWD?
The first glance at the price tags on the redesigned 2017 Subaru Impreza and 2017 Volvo S60 with all-wheel drive may suggest that they are of very different designs. In some cases, this is true since the Volvo is a luxury car that only comes with leather upholstery. But with a price tag roughly twice that of the new Subaru Impreza, is there more to the design of the Volvo S60 than leather? Both models can seat up to five occupants, but where the 2017 Subaru Impreza allows everyone to be comfortable with up to 100.9 cubic feet of passenger space, the Volvo only comes with 93 cubic feet of space for everyone. Clearly the extra money isn't going to space, and you can get a top-of-the-line Subaru Impreza with leather upholstery for substantially less than the Volvo.
How Does the Performance of the All-New 2017 Subaru Impreza Compare to the 2017 Volvo S60 AWD?
When you first look at the performance numbers of the all-new Subaru Impreza and the 2017 Volvo S60, it may seem that these two cars are in different leagues. While the price tag certainly backs that up, the extra horsepower seen in the Volvo also must carry around nearly 700 pounds more weight than the Subaru BOXER engine found in the redesigned 2017 Impreza. Unlike the inline 4-cylinder engine that comes standard in the Volvo S60, the horizontally opposed Subaru BOXER engine sits flat in the vehicle providing a lower center of gravity. The new Subaru Global Platform has also virtually eliminated noise, vibration, and harshness for a peaceful ride more commonly found in high-end luxury cars. The new Subaru Impreza will also perform better for your budget with a starting price essentially half that of the Volvo, and the Impreza will hold its value far better over time.
How Does the Safety of the All-New 2017 Subaru Impreza Compare to the 2017 Volvo S60 AWD?
When it comes to safety, no two names are more prominent than Subaru and Volvo. The all-new 2017 Subaru Impreza and the 2017 Volvo S60 with all-wheel drive share many similar safety features. You'll find exceptionally safe structural engineering in both models along with all-wheel drive, stability and traction control, and driver assist technology. In fact, comparing the safety of these two models really isn't about which one is safer, rather that the far more affordable 2017 Subaru Impreza is every bit as safe as the Volvo which will cost twice as much. This is thanks in part to the all-new Subaru Global Platform at the heart of the new Impreza. In a remarkable display of just what's possible, Subaru engineers have developed new frameworks with enhanced cross sections and highly stiffened joints. The result is over 70% increased rigidity and substantially reduced noise, vibration, and harshness that makes the more affordable 2017 Subaru Impreza not as far from the Volvo as some may think.
