energised for your next turn.
The Subaru Impreza’s unique engineering makes performance feel so exhilaratingly responsive and confidently in control, you’ll think your Impreza is as excited to drive as you are.
Stay connected.
Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive
Symmetry gives you balance. Balance gives you control. That is why Subaru has spent nearly 40 years developing the Symmetrical AWD system. Matched with the SUBARU BOXER engine for an almost perfectly symmetrical layout, it maximises the power delivery with exceptional traction and generates balance and stability for total control in almost any condition, giving you the confidence to delight in every kilometre.
DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE
Exceptional traction makes acceleration feel immediate and exhilarating. And the symmetry helps the Impreza deliver responsive handling because it’s more stable during cornering, for a unique feeling of control at all times.
CONSTANT CONTACT
The more your tyres are engaged with the road, the more control you have. Power is routed to all four tyres all the time in order to maintain the strongest connection to the road as possible, maximising handling and control.
AGILITY IN AN EMERGENCY
In poor weather, or in the precious seconds it takes to react to a sudden situation, the symmetrical drivetrain with almost total side-to-side balance provides the stability, agility and traction that help you step around danger.
Stay balanced.
INCREASED STABILITY
Because the engine block has a flatter profile and sits lower in the chassis, the overall vehicle is more stably balanced and resistant to side-to-side motion than other designs.
SMOOTH POWER
At any rpm the engine delivers immediate, responsive power that comes on smooth. The pistons lay flat and work against each other to reduce vibrations, making the ride as comfortable as it is exciting.
LONG-LASTING PERFORMANCE
The engine’s flat design is inherently rigid and self-balancing, generating less vibration than “V-type” or “in-line” engines for more durability and more reliable performance.
SUBARU BOXER Engine
Few other cars drive with the fun and eagerness of Impreza, so you won’t be surprised by how uniquely it is accomplished. The horizontally-opposed configuration of the SUBARU BOXER engine places the pistons 180 degrees apart, for a lower, flatter profile than other engine types. This gives the engine, and therefore the overall vehicle, a lower centre of gravity and better sense of balance. Further, the pistons’ opposing movements inherently counteract each other, naturally helping to reduce vibration.
WHAT’S IMPORTANT:
The horizontally-opposed design of the SUBARU BOXER engine fires with a powerful punch-counterpunch action.
WHY IT’S IMPORTANT:
It’s naturally balanced for exceptional smoothness, inherently rigid for high strength, and compact and lower-profile for better handling.
Packing a solid punch.
And counterpunch.
MAX OUTPUT: 79 kW (107 PS) / 6,000 rpm
MAX TORQUE: 142 Nm (14.5 kgfm) torque / 3,200 rpm FUEL ECONOMY: 7.5 lit./100 km*, CO2 EMISSIONS: 176 g/km*
The most efficient Impreza engine is an equally impressive performer. With the natural balance, fluid smoothness and high strength inherent in its SUBARU BOXER configuration, it delivers eager response with a modest appetite for fuel.
An electronically controlled throttle responds precisely to the driver’s demands. And DOHC with AVCS maximise response at lower rpm.

Refined vigor is the signature of this smooth and muscular power plant. Double overhead camshafts (DOHC) and the Active Valve Control System (AVCS) boost torque at low and midrange engine speeds. And whilst its horizontally-opposed layout naturally cancels out vibration. From its free-breathing intake to its free-flowing exhaust, the 2.0-litre DOHC SUBARU BOXER makes exertion seem effortless.

-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION + VISCOUS CENTRE DIFFERENTIAL AWDFor maximum control and sporty satisfaction, a slick-shifting 5-speed manual transmission is standard on all petrol-powered Impreza models. It’s paired with an AWD system utilising a viscous limited-slip centre differential (LSD). Whenever the balance of traction changes, the LSD instantaneously redistributes the torque to the front and rear wheels as needed. And the 5-Door models include Dual-range (Hi/Lo) gearing, for added control in extreme situations.
Enjoyment in every gear.
WHAT’S IMPORTANT:Impreza offers a choice in transmissions, each one mated to its own variation of Symmetrical AWD.
WHY IT’S IMPORTANT:
Choice means you are always in control, so you can select the system that best suits your driving desires.
Exhilaration in every turn.
WHAT’S IMPORTANT:Impreza’s unique engineering allows for solid, taut handling whilst providing a smooth, composed ride.
WHY IT’S IMPORTANT:
Confidence in all conditions, and satisfaction in every situation, comes from competence at all four wheels.
SUBARU DYNAMIC CHASSIS CONTROL CONCEPT
Impreza elevates the inherent advantages of its signature Subaru layout with the Subaru Dynamic Chassis Control Concept. More accurate, natural steering feel, a smoother ride, and better impact management are simultaneously achieved through a more rigid body, stronger chassis components, further-reduced mounting height for the engine, and an advanced, long-stroke double-wishbone rear suspension.
FRONT SUSPENSION
Impreza’s highly rigid strut type front suspension is remarkably light and finely tuned to optimise steering feel and handling precision. A long stroke and wide tread provide an ideal balance of stable handling, flat cornering and a composed ride.
REAR SUSPENSION
Expertly balancing sporty response with smooth ride quality, Impreza’s subframe-mounted double wishbone rear suspension handles bumps and corners with precise poise,
further accentuated by a rear stabilizer*. Its compact design also helps provide Impreza’s generous cargo area.

*1 Excluding 2.0R Sport with sport bucket seats. *2 Not available in all markets.
RING-SHAPED REINFORCEMENT FRAMES
The Ring-Shaped Reinforcement Frames strengthen the passenger cabin from the roof to the doors, pillars and floor. This design helps to divert and dissipate impact energy away from the occupants in a collision. The front crumple zone is integral to the frame.
PASSIVE SAFETY, TO BETTER SURVIVE A COLLISION
Impreza is designed with occupant protection as a high priority. Its body structure is intelligently strengthened in critical areas to help minimise the impact energies that reach the cabin. Front airbags, available front-side*1 and
curtain airbags*1, active front headrests*2 and 3-point
seatbelts help protect occupants directly.
ACTIVE SAFETY, TO AVOID A COLLISION
Many of the same features which make an Impreza fun to drive also help keep its occupants out of harm’s way. The stable, responsive handling of its Symmetrical AWD is enhanced by the low centre of gravity of its SUBARU BOXER engine. Its available Vehicle Dynamics Control System*1, surefooted suspension, antilock brakes and quick
steering equip the driver with excellent evasive abilities.
WHAT’S IMPORTANT:
Impreza’s AWD, agility and active safety systems help keep you from harm, whilst its smart construction and advanced technologies are ready for impact, just in case.
WHY IT’S IMPORTANT:
Subaru knows the best way to survive a collision is to avoid one. But if a crash is inevitable, you always know you’re in capable hands.
Fully committed to
fully protecting.
