The Subaru Impreza's Complete Redesign

The 2017 Subaru Impreza has been given a complete redesign- with an encompassing 90% of the car being upgraded. The previous Impreza was a token entrant in the market for Subaru for generations, but the risk of undergoing such a drastic change understandably didn’t overshadow the necessity of changing out 15 year old door handles.

Although the 2017 redesign spans universally through the vehicle, the new Impreza is still familiar looking enough to be easily recognized. The body itself is much more fluid and has been given accent cues towards Subarus desired “sculptural” design. Even so, it’s still evident that Subaru heartily favors function over form- focusing in on aerodynamic properties and a lighter frame.

The cabin has become much more personable, with more expression and organic lines than last years utilitarian layout that was indeed ergonomic but lacked personality. The shining attribute of the Imprezas new interior would undoubtedly be the spaciousness. Visibilty is no sweat at any angle, and the hatchback models in particular offer cargo-carrying capacity that rivals some subcompact SUVs.

The Impreza is powered by a revised 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that now features direct injection. Now more powerful, horsepower increases from 148 hp to 152 hp and torque stays at 145 lb-ft. At 32 mpg combined, the 2017 Subaru Impreza is one of the most fuel-efficient all-wheel-drive vehicles sold in the U.S.

Not only did the Impreza earn an IIHS Top Safety Pick designation, the new global platform improves crash energy absorption by 40 percent. Standard active safety features for this year include blind spot detection and rear cross traffic alert, and when equipped with the EyeSight system; additionally includes adaptive cruise control, automatic pre-collision braking, lane departure warning, and lane keep assist.

Starting at $19,200 and maxing out at just $30,000- the Subaru Impreza is by far the most economical all-wheel drive car you can buy. The redesigned Impreza has a lot of amenities to offer on top of its fresh design, and very well could be topping the sales charts this year.
