This Is The New Subaru Impreza

Subaru has revealed its new Impreza ahead of the New York Auto Show. It's underpinned by the company's new 'Global Platform', and a WRX STI will join the ranks soon

Here it is, the next generation of Subaru Impreza. Details are still rather scarce (the full reveal will happen later today), but we do know it’ll be powered by a range of four-cylinder boxer engines, and a five-door hatchback version will be available in addition to the saloon you see here. It’ll be the hatchback that we receive in the UK (although it’s only “under consideration” at the moment), as the saloon won’t be coming to Europe.

It’s all underpinned by Subaru’s new Global Platform architecture, which will eventually be used on every car in the company’s range and makes this Impreza 70 per cent stiffer than the old one. The new car is - of course - all-wheel drive, and a hot WRX STI will join the ranks at some stage.

So, in the absence of any hardcore details, we want to know what you think of the new Impreza. Get to the comments!

Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

I like it, but I kinda feel sad the Evo isn’t going to be here. #RIPEvo

Is there going to be a new Lancer though? I mean, if the lancer is going to be discontinued I’m gonna cry like a b**ch.

As said, remain hopeful! STI version will come along soon I am sure
