Does the Subaru Impreza have cruise control?

Yes. The Impreza generally includes cruise control, and models with Subaru’s EyeSight driver-assist system and a CVT can use Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC).


Cruise control basics in the Impreza


In practical terms, you can expect a basic cruise control system that maintains a set speed on most Impreza models with an automatic transmission. Adaptive Cruise Control, which maintains a safe following distance, is available on CVT-equipped models that include Subaru’s EyeSight driver-assist package.


EyeSight and adaptive cruising


EyeSight is Subaru’s suite of driver-assistance features that enables capabilities such asAutomatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist, and Adaptive Cruise Control. ACC relies on the EyeSight system to monitor traffic and adjust your speed to keep a chosen following distance. Not all trims or markets offer EyeSight, and ACC is typically tied to CVT-equipped versions rather than manual transmissions.


Availability by model year and transmission


The following guidelines reflect typical availability for recent Impreza models. Always verify the exact equipment on a specific vehicle, as features can vary by year and market.



  • Automatic transmission (CVT) with EyeSight: Basic cruise control is commonly available; Adaptive Cruise Control is available on higher trims that include EyeSight.

  • Manual transmission: Basic cruise control is often available on several years, but Adaptive Cruise Control is generally not offered on manual versions.


In short, you’ll usually find at least basic cruise control on most Impreza models with automatic transmission, while ACC requires a CVT paired with EyeSight in the majority of markets.


How to verify cruise control features on your Impreza


To confirm whether your specific car has cruise control and/or Adaptive Cruise Control, use these checks and sources:



  • Inspect the steering wheel controls for a CRUISE or SET/RES button, or a stalk labeled cruise control.

  • Check the instrument cluster or multi-information display for an ACC indicator or an EyeSight/EYE Sight badge when the car is running.

  • Review the window sticker or the official build sheet for mentions of EyeSight and Adaptive Cruise Control, and note whether the car is equipped with a CVT.


If you’re uncertain, ask a Subaru dealer to pull the exact equipment list for the vehicle you’re considering or owning.


Summary


The Subaru Impreza normally includes basic cruise control across most trims with an automatic transmission. Adaptive Cruise Control is available on CVT-equipped models that include the EyeSight driver-assist package, while many manual-transmission versions do not offer ACC. For a precise answer, verify the exact year, trim, and equipment on your vehicle or a prospective purchase.
