Arrow 2008 totally new Subaru Impreza


New Subaru Impreza costs from ??12495

Both enjoy enhanced fuel economy and driveability thanks to improved boxer engines which having their cylinders horizontally-opposed give the car a lower centre of gravity for improved grip, reduced body roll and more agile steering response.

This is further aided by the engine and transmission now being placed almost 0.5 ins (10 mm) lower in the platform.

Most models are lighter than their predecessors and enjoy improved aerodynamics down from 0.36 to 0.34 for the 1.5R, for example.

All new Subaru Imprezas share a five-door body which is shorter and wider than the previous Sport Wagon and offers substantially improved interior space thanks in part to a 3.7 ins (95 mm) longer wheelbase.

Interior width is around 2 ins (45 mm) greater, while a compact new multi-link rear suspension allows boot space to grow by a substantial 6 cu. ft to 19 cu.ft (538 litres) with the rear Seat upright.

Subarus aim is to compete more directly in the European market with rivals such as the Honda Civic, VW Golf and Mazda 3 while offering the added safety and traction advantage of symmetrical all-wheel drive.

And in Japan where the new five-door Impreza was recently introduced sales were a staggering 3,829 units in the first week alone. This represents 150 per cent of the planned MONTHLY sales target.

The new Subaru Imprezas elegant, restrained design gives it a sporty stance with wide tracks, broad shoulder lines and subtle side body creases for a quality look.

Premium touches include a gas strut-assisted bonnet, LED (light-emitting diode) tail lamps, a flowing Tribeca-like fascia design, double-stitched Seat cloth, metallic interior decoration and padded armrest cushions. The instruments are also sporty thanks to their clear design and subtle lighting while the extensive vehicle information display includes a fuel consumption indicator highlighting the new Imprezas much improved efficiency.
