Before this, I’ve posted a video on the third generation Subaru Impreza WRX here.
The 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX was developed with sophisticated styling and rich interior design, roominess and space, and outstanding comfort and utility, with a pleasant and safe ride enhanced by Subaru Symmetrical AWD (All-Wheel drive) with the Horizontally-Opposed engine.
Shocks from road surfaces were effectively absorbed by the newly designed double-wishbone rear suspension , ensuring high levels of ride comfort and agile handling. The Boxer engine which provides lower centre of gravity, has been enhanced by mounting the engine slightly lower in the chassis, thereby further improving stability. Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC), available on a wider grade range of the Impreza lineup, increases active safety.
There are two versions of the new Impreza. The 2.5-liter normally aspirated and the turbocharged. The 2.5-liter Boxer engine has been modified to improve emissions and fuel efficiency. The 2.5-liter SOHC normally aspirated engine adopts a new intake port and other design changes that make improved low-end torque and fuel efficiency possible. Improved emissions were realized by a new catalyst system that optimizes catalyst efficiency.
The 2.5-liter DOHC turbocharged engine incorporated with a newly designed intake manifold, intercooler and turbocharger delivers improved mid to low-end torque and fuel efficiency. Transmissions, both manual and automatic, were modified for faster, more responsive shifting and better maneuverability.
The 2008 Impreza is available in 4-door and 5-door versions.
Spacious and open interior provides comfort and improves visibility. Aluminum-look insets in the center panels and door trim add a sporty feel and airiness. The navigation screen, as well as the vehicle information and audio displays are placed at the top of the dashboard for improved visibility and functionality. High-grade, double-stitched seat fabrics provide a feeling of quality.
