The new subaru_usa Impreza gets handling improvements, a purposeful new look and a warmed-up RS range-topper
The redesigned Mk6 Impreza is a more dynamically focused proposition than its forebear, based around the latest version of Subaru's Global Platform, which is claimed to boost stiffness by 10% and reduce weight for an"improved dynamic performance, smoother ride and quieter cabin".
True to form, it comes exclusively with two driven axles, with revisions to the company's trademark Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system claiming to improve response time and cornering agility. Active torque vectoring is a standard feature. Subaru also highlights a standard-fit dual-pinion steering rack which has been lifted from the rally-honed WRX to boost steering feel.
Entry-level variants use a 2.0-litre four-cylinder boxer engine with 152bhp and 145lb ft, while a new Impreza RS caps the line-up with a 2.5-litre boxer producing 182bhp and 178lb ft. All motors send their reserves to the wheels through a CVT gearbox, but the RS and mid-rung Sport variants are equipped with paddle shifters behind the steering wheel for manual shifting.
