This is the new Subaru Impreza which has been revealed before the New York Auto Show kicks off. Subaru do really good business in the US of A so it makes sense that the saloon aka sedan is revealed across the pond first. Both the five door saloon and estate aka station-wagon have been revealed but all that we know is what it looks like on the outside and on inside. What we don’t know is how much it will cost or what type of model variants will be available. Actually it’s rather simple prices will rise. Typically with each new generation its around a £500 increase. We do know that Subaru will retain the 4-cylinder petrol and diesel boxer engines and that’s a uniquely good thing. And we also know the interior receives a materials upgrade so it should be more refined than the current generation Impreza. The 2016 Impreza is built upon Subaru’s all-new Global Platform which means its going to be slightly larger overall than the outgoing model. The Global Platform will also be used as a basis to create a new generation of SUV’s and  estates. We also know Subaru’s Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive will come as standard, and expect the engine line-up to be more or less as is. However fuel saving technologies such as cylinder deactivation will be added and the range topping WRX STi is expected to become a hybrid sports saloon. The WRX STi will retain the use of the 2.0-litre turbo charged engine with the rear wheels being powered by electric motors. Neither pricing nor UK availability has been announced.
