Prepare to Be Impressed with the New 2019 Subaru Impreza
June 27 2019, Subaru Des Sources
The 2019 Subaru Impreza is a very capable, fun ride with a penchant for technology and safety. Available as a 4-door sedan or 5-door hatchback, the Impreza comes in Convenience, Touring, Sport, Sport with EyeSight, Sport-tech and Sport-tech with EyeSight models.
Shoppers can choose from five handsome colours, including Island Blue Pearl. Exterior driving aids include body-colour mirrors that are foldable, power-heated, and power-adjustable. The 5-door models have a speed-sensitive rear window wiper and a roofline spoiler with an integrated brake light. Both models have integrated crossbar brackets for a roof rack. Engineers used aluminum to form the hood, making the car lighter and more fuel efficient.
The 2019 Impreza Has All-Wheel Drive for Tough Situations
Drivers will appreciate the four-cylinder, 12-horsepower boxer engine with 145 lb-ft of torque. The standard transmission is a 5-speed manual gearbox. The other transmission is a Lineartronic Continuously Variable Transmission that seamlessly shifts through the gear ratios. For fun, it has a manual mode with paddle shifters. Top fuel economy is 8.3 L/100 KM in city driving and 6.4 L/100 KM on the highway.
Impreza models can handle more road situations than their competitors thanks to symmetrical full-time AWD. A viscous-coupling limited-slip centre differential makes it especially effective on snowy roads. An electronically controlled multi-plate transfer clutch adjusts the system’s response based on road conditions.
Both the 5-door and sedan editions earned Top Safety Pick + from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The car has added protections for the driver, including a knee airbag, a collapsible brake pedal, and a collapsible steering column. Whiplash-lessening seats protect both front seat occupants.
Bigger Interiors and Cargo Areas in the 2019 Subaru Impreza
The interior offers spacious seating for adults. Soft, touchable materials ensure that the space is comfortable and inviting. The new editions have a bigger trunk or a bigger cargo hold with flatter-folding rear seats.
Best of all, this year’s model has more standard features at the base price. For instance, every Impreza has Android Auto and Apple CarPlay functionality. A 6.5-inch touchscreen provides STARLINK apps with Aha radio. The Starlink system is also offered with an 8-inch screen.
Steering wheel-integrated illuminated tabs and voice controls make it easy to use the system. When in reverse, the system displays live footage from the standard rear-view camera.
