In a compact five-door body, the new generation of the Impreza has changed its goal of being a sports model, with the support of its multiple victories in the World Rally Championship to promote above all safety and comfort occupants. It is based on the new effective global platform for the brand, already seen in the SUV XV, with a length of 4.46 meters and a wheelbase of 2.67 meters, reaching a spacious and comfortable interior, without disturbing or of its dimensions, and a chest of 385 liters. This platform is linked to the AWD Symmetrical AWD permanent effective, with a distribution of force between the front and rear axles that varies between 60/40 and 50/50 percent, depending on the degree of adherence, with a multi-disc center differential. As it could not be less for a brand like Subaru, the interior is of good quality. The simple design of the dashboard is very similar to the XV, with an attractive analog clock setting and a center console that shows the right size of the new generation of touch screen, up to 8.0 inches, which Android Auto and Apple Game of cars (penalty that was not its own browser, a delegated function to associate the smartphone). The small multifunction steering wheel, with a nice touch, is lined with leather. The seats are very comfortable, with a more rigid lumbar area in the front, which also have heating. The Impreza comes from Japan, with a single-engine petrol gasoline from 1.6 hp to 114 hp, both vis-à-vis both. This type of advantages offers mechanical in the usual four cylinders in line: they are flatter, with the consequent reduction of the center of gravity, are better balanced, so they rotate with less vibration and are quieter and more in case of frontal impact, they are introduced below the passenger compartment causing less damage to the occupants. To make it more efficient, it has active control of the intake and exhaust valves, uses a distribution chain and has a Start Stop stop and an automatic start system. The four-wheel drive engine and the boxer adds a modern automatic transmission to complete a particularly safe and comfortable set that rolls smoothly, in both urban and road traffic. Such is the case of advanced automatic Lineartronic CVT, the type of DC unit equipped with series. There are no modes of behavior or ability to sequentially change a single "B" position of the shift lever designed to increase the engine reducer at the time of lowering a port, for example. With a naturally aspirated engine of 114 hp at 6200 rev / min and a torque of 150 Nm to 3600, you can not expect high performance, given its 1358 kilos of weight. The maximum speed is 180 km / h, and accelerates from 0 to 100 in 12.4 seconds with an average official fuel consumption of 6.2 liters per 100 km. The real thing, measured by us, is 7.3 l / 100 km. As for these numbers, you might think that the new Impreza is a bourgeois and silent car. So if we practice a relaxed driving, we activate the adaptive cruise control, which adapts very well to the rhythm of the traffic, the brakes of the surroundings and accelerates itself, while the passengers enjoy what we call "rolling quality". "wrapped in an atmosphere of silence and sweetness. But there's more: the rigid chassis and excellent suspension calibration admirably develops winding roads, the steering is a marvel of precision, while the permanent all-wheel drive keeps you stuck to the road whatever the status of the company. It is easy to get to 6,500 r / min when it accelerates down, while the Lineartronic change gradually increases the actual speed of the car, a rather strange feeling typical of this type of automatic change. Certainly, the good chassis and the tared transmission admit much more power without risking anything in the safety of all. Attention to safety has been one of the main objectives of the current Impreza, which places it as one of the safest in the segment. It incorporates as standard the third generation EyeSight, a preventive security system consisting of three cameras in the windshield, controlling the traffic conditions, which act as additional eyes that help the driver in critical situations. It includes nine automatic attention functions to detect vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists and reacts, after warning the driver, stop or stop the car if necessary. Of course, in our poorly maintained roads, the assistant of involuntary abandonment of the road acts constantly, fortunately it can be disconnected.
