Reliable. Resilient. Capable. The Impreza has enough room for the whole family and their suitcases too. It’s everything you could want from an SUV – in a compact hatchback.
ENGINEERING
Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive (SAWD)
Delivers power to all four wheels at all times ensuring enhanced control of Impreza even in wet or icy conditions. The entire drive system, from the Boxer engine to the rear differential, is mounted in a straight, symmetrical line, delivering Impreza’s stability and balance.
BOXER ENGINE
Powering every SUBARU, the Boxer engine has a longitudinally-mounted, horizontally-opposed configuration. Sitting lower and flatter, it makes SUBARUs perfectly balanced – with great handling and road holding.
Lineartronic Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)
Moves between a span of gear ratios to provide smooth acceleration while keeping the engine at its optimal rev range. Lineartronic preserves momentum that is often lost during gear changes on a manual or traditional automatic transmission, maintaining traction by continuously providing power to the wheels at all times.
SUBARU’s Global Manufacturing Platform (SGP)
Allows Impreza to benefit from several next-generation design and manufacturing enhancements. The platform creates a chassis with higher rigidity, increased strength, lighter weight, better rolling resistance and responsive steering for an even better driving experience.
SAFETY
EYESIGHT
Subaru’s driver assistance technology, is a second pair of eyes. Using information from 3D cameras, safety systems warn of potential collision risks and can even act to reduce accident severity.
SUBARU REAR VEHICLE DETECTION (SRVD)
Features Blind Spot Monitoring, Lane Change Assist & Rear Cross Traffic Alert. It monitors rear blind spots for danger, makes lane changes safer, and can also warn of the potential for a collision – for instance whilst reversing into a street with passing traffic.
Engaging High Beam Assist (HBA)
Automatically controls the selection of main or dipped beam at night, ensuring the best visibility without dazzling oncoming traffic.
Impreza’s 5* Euro NCAP rating
For safety is the testing agency’s highest award. Declared Euro NCAP’s BEST IN CLASS Safest Small Family Car 2017, Impreza achieved the best scores in its segment for Adult Occupant, Child Occupant and Pedestrian Protection and ‘very good’ performance for its Autonomous Emergency Braking and Lane Support Systems. Subaru was voted Best Manufacturer for Safety Features in the 2019 Driver Power Survey, the UK’s number one car ownership survey.
