Subaru Impreza 2.0ie 4×4: actual cost and utility

Lots of space in the rear, permanent all-wheel drive, great suspension comfort – but what about fuel consumption? We tested what the Subaru Impreza 2.0ie 4×4 Platinum uses.

The difference between our consumption measurement and the manufacturer’s specification in the NEDC cycle is 1.8 liters. Subaru says that the average consumption per 100 kilometers is 6.3 liters. After our test cycle, the clock shows 8.1 liters, which corresponds to a cost of 14.99 euros. In Eco alert mode we reach 6.1 liters if we play sports, it goes up to 9.8 liters. Fuel costs are calculated based on the current daily fuel price on our partner website mehr-tanken.de (Super: 1,85 Euro/Liter, Stand: 29.09.2023).

Monthly maintenance costs

The cost of fuel for a trip of 100 kilometers is between 11.29 euros (Eco) and 18.13 euros (Sport). In addition, there is an annual car tax of 198 euros and liability insurance of 400 euros. For partial and full insurance, 141 and 459 euros respectively are appropriate. If you travel 15,000 kilometers per year, you should plan a monthly budget of 252 euros for 30,000 kilometers the amount increases to 443 euros; Added to this is the loss of value.

This is how testing is done

The automotive and sports test uses consist of three usage trips with different weights. The so-called “passenger use” accounts for 70 percent. This is a journey from home to work that is on average 21 kilometers long. The 275-kilometer Eco Cycle driven primarily by economy accounts for 15 percent. The remaining 15 percent goes to the driver group. of sports. The length is roughly the same as the Eco route, but the route includes a larger section of road and therefore a higher average speed. The basis for calculating fuel costs is always the price quoted on the “more fuel” website on the day the article is created.

Monthly maintenance costs include maintenance, wear parts and vehicle tax based on an assumed annual mileage of 15,000 and 30,000 kilometers without depreciation. The basis of the calculation is trial use, three-year holding period, no-claims class SF12 for liability and comprehensive insurance for Allianz, including discounts for garage parking and restrictions for certain drivers (not under 21 years). At Allianz, SF12 means a 34 percent discount for liability and 28 percent for comprehensive insurance.
