The 2013 Subaru Impreza comes equipped with a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated flat-four engine, designated as the FB20. This horizontally-opposed boxer engine produces 148 horsepower and 145 lb-ft of torque. It features direct fuel injection, dual overhead cams, and Subaru’s Active Valve Control System (AVCS) for variable valve timing. The FB20 replaced the older EJ series engines and was designed for improved fuel economy and reduced emissions. It’s paired with either a 5-speed manual transmission or Subaru’s Lineartronic CVT automatic transmission, providing standard all-wheel drive capability that Subaru is known for.

The 2013 Subaru Impreza shares most parts with the 2012-2016 model years, as this represents the fourth generation Impreza platform. Engine components from the FB20 are largely interchangeable across these years, though minor updates occurred. Body panels, interior trim, and suspension components are generally compatible within this generation. The CVT transmission used in 2012-2014 models differs slightly from 2015-2016 versions due to software and internal updates. Some electrical components and modules may have different part numbers due to software revisions, but physical compatibility often remains. Always verify specific part numbers when sourcing components, as running changes within model years can affect compatibility.

The FB20 2.0L engine in the 2013 Impreza is moderately reliable but has some known issues. While it’s more reliable than older EJ engines regarding head gasket failures, it’s prone to excessive oil consumption and carbon buildup due to direct injection. Regular oil changes every 3,000-5,000 miles are crucial, and owners should monitor oil levels frequently. The engine typically lasts 150,000-200,000 miles with proper maintenance, though some units experience premature wear. Key maintenance includes regular oil changes, using quality oil, periodic carbon cleaning, and addressing any oil consumption issues promptly to prevent engine damage.
