Excellent and responsive handling is the key advantage of the 2015 Subaru Impreza, something unique for an all-wheel drive vehicle.
Featuring the stylings of today’s latest sedans and hatchbacks, the Impreza looks very attractive as it is safe and economical.
The latest edition of Impreza comes either in a four-door sedan or a five-door hatchback, segregated further into five different models, all powered by the two-liter four-cylinder Subaru Boxer engine.
Apart from being powerful, the Boxer engine is also very unique in the sense that its pistons move side to side, a layout that enables the pistons to cross out each other’s vibrations. This results to smoother and more efficient engine running.
The Subaru Impreza also ranks very high when it comes to fuel economy, something peculiar for an all-wheel drive vehicle. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has officially given the car a rating of 28 miles per gallon for city driving and a very high 37 miles per gallon for freeway driving.
Also contributing to the precise and efficient performance of the Subaru Impreza is its symmetrical all-wheel drive and its lineartronic continuously variable transmission (CVT).
Impressive inside out
Subaru did not spare an effort to make sure that all the great comforts of driving a practical sedan or hatchback are built into the Impreza.
The Impreza takes full pride of its roomy interiors that include its elegant leather-trimmed upholstery, flexible space and integrated roof rails, distinct power moonroof, Subaru starlink in-vehicle technology, as well as Bluetooth connection both for communication and entertainment purposes.
The car is also earth-friendly because it is officially considered a Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle (PLEV) by the State of California after it passed the strict emissions standards of the state with flying colors. The Impreza, in fact, has lower emissions compared to some hybrid and other alternative fuel vehicles.
Breakthrough safety feature
The Impreza also features an impressive array of safety features including the EyeSight driver assist technology, a rear vision camera, a voice-activated GPS navigation system, vehicle dynamics control, smart braking system, and an advanced protection system.
The EyeSight driver assist technology is Subaru’s latest safety breakthrough which provides the Impreza an extra set of eyes on the road, or an extra foot on the brake. The EyeSight shall trigger the extra foot on the brake when the device sees that the vehicle is about to collide with the car in front of it.
The EyeSight safety feature of the 2015 Subaru Impreza has enabled the car to make it to the 2014 Top Safety Picks of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). With the inclusion of the latest edition of the Impreza, Subaru becomes the only automaker whose car models for the last five years made it to the IIHS’ yearly Top Safety Picks.
