Unveiled in 2012: The New Subaru Impreza
New Subaru Impreza Set to Debut as a Significant Departure from Previous Models
The new Subaru Impreza, set to debut at the New York Motor Show this month, is expected to be a significant departure from its predecessors. The car, which will go on sale in August, will feature new underpinnings and Subaru's new design.
Last year, at the Los Angeles Motor Show, the Subaru Impreza Concept was unveiled, stunning many in the industry. However, the production version of the 2012 Subaru Impreza, which will be revealed as a production-ready model at the New York Motor Show, will not resemble the Impreza Concept.
The decision not to follow the concept design was made by Subaru, with the company choosing to focus on making the new Impreza more roomy and frugal. The 2012 Subaru Impreza is said to offer increased interior space and improved fuel efficiency.
Despite the changes, the new Impreza seems more like a slightly updated version of the existing car rather than a production version of the Impreza Concept. The photo of the new Impreza sent by Subaru appears in an unflattering light, adding to the speculation that it is a more conservative design.
There was uncertainty about whether the latest Impreza would arrive in the UK, but Subaru has confirmed that it will be available in the UK market. The new Impreza will debut in European hatchback spec at the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show.
Meanwhile, the Subaru WRX STI is getting a power upgrade, with the company offering a free power upgrade until the end of June. The power upgrade for the Subaru WRX STI is an attempt to shift more metal, as the company looks to boost sales.
Subaru has told us very little about the 2012 Subaru Impreza, revealing only that it is 4WD, 4 or 5 door, and more commodious and more frugal. The new Impreza is not mentioned to be getting a power upgrade like the Subaru WRX STI, but it is expected to offer improved performance and fuel efficiency.
In conclusion, the new Subaru Impreza is set to be a significant departure from previous models, with a focus on increased interior space, improved fuel efficiency, and Subaru's new design. While the production version of the Impreza may not resemble the stunning Impreza Concept from last year's Los Angeles Motor Show, it is expected to offer a more conservative design and improved performance. The new Impreza will debut at the New York Motor Show this month and go on sale in August.
