Handling born of the toughest FIA WRC experience.

No matter No matter whether you're pounding along the motorway or storming a country lane, you need to have confidence and comfort in the way your Impreza stays in touch with the road. That's where FIA WRC experience counts in suspension development for Subaru.

Lightweight body

It's no secret that the benefits of low weight and a low centre of gravity combine to give superb handling and stable traceability in vehicle direction. Exactly what the Impreza has in mind for you. By using an aluminium bonnet, and reducing the overall number of parts used, this slimmed down body platform makes for a car that is not only a supreme performer, but is actually highly-rigid at the same time.

Suspension

The whole key to compliant, controlled suspension that gives maximum contact with the road and excellent ride comfort is based on sophisticated 4-wheel independent suspension. It works alongside Subaru's Symmetrical AWD system to make sure that each individual tyre is firmly planted on the road surface, to minimise attitude changes and underline stability under all kinds of different driving conditions. This makes the Impreza handle with great confidence, wherever you drive it.

Front strut suspension

Long travel helps to soak up major bumps, but these struts also shrug off little bumps to give an even ride.
