Subaru is bringing the new generation Impreza to
Frankfurt this September for its pan-European debut. Set to be unveiled on
September 12, the all-new Subaru Impreza is the company’s second model to be
based on their Global Platform.
The company claims that their new Global Platform
represents a major step from the previous model as it’s 70 percent stiffer and
improves crash energy absorption by 40 percent. Subaru was also able to
re-engineer the suspension and further lower the Impreza’s center of gravity.
The new Subaru Impreza also features the latest
EyeSight safety tech, which includes Adaptive Cruise Control, Automatic
Pre-Collision Braking and Lane Departure and Sway Warning, plus a Lane Keep
Assist function as standard.
The trademark Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and the
flat-four engine lineup also remain, but we’ll have to wait until September to
find out if Subaru is going to add more powertrain options to the Impreza’s
European range. US-spec models are offered with a revised 152 hp 2.0-litre
petrol engine with direct injection.
