The first generation Subaru Impreza debuted in 1992 as a sedan and station wagon. Later, in 1994, exclusive Impreza with a coupe body began to be produced in a small edition. The car occupied an empty niche between Subaru Legacy and Subaru Justy. At first, the authors of the Impreza project had one task - to make such a serial car that would become a reliable "base" for participation, and possibly for victory in the WRC World Rally Championship. Thanks to the efforts of the designers, the car turned out to be bright and unusual, and it was this super-individuality that was the trump card that allowed the Subaru Impreza to establish itself in the market and win the recognition of customers.

Stylish body design looks great to this day. The interior is rather austere, mainly due to the abundance of plastic, but the build quality and fit of materials covers this shortcoming. The interior is not too spacious, but the ergonomics of the driver's seat is close to ideal. Impreza was positioned not just as a family car, but as a car with a "sporty bias". At a very reasonable cost, the model was able to give the driver a lot of pleasure from active driving.

Three configurations - front-wheel drive Impreza with a 1.5 l / 90 hp engine, all-wheel drive with a 1.6 l / 102 hp engine, and all-wheel drive with a 1.8 l / 115 hp engine. with. - fully satisfied the needs of people who purchased Subaru Impreza for family use. The choice: 5-speed "mechanics" and 4-speed "automatic".

At the same time, the Impreza WRX category was developing in parallel, equipped with a two-liter turbocharged engine with a capacity of 155 hp. and 4WD, aimed at lovers of sports driving. Compared to the base model Impreza, the WRX was fitted with wider, low-profile tires, improved brakes, and beefed up suspension. The front and rear wheels were equipped with ventilated disc brakes. Full mass the car was 1220 kg. The suspension of the extreme version is much stiffer than on civilian modifications, but it is also much stronger. And the lack of comfort is compensated by amazing handling and stability at exorbitant speeds.

As the model evolved, family trims were abandoned, which included the Impreza with 1.8 and 1.6 liter engines. They were replaced by models with a two-liter engine. As for reliability, the Impreza will not disappoint you here either, since all units are quite hardy. The bodies are almost not afraid of corrosion, because they are galvanized.

Until 1999, not a single complete change was carried out model range Subaru Impreza, only a partial restyling of the body took place. In 2000, the debut of the second generation took place.

The Impreza WRX sedan began to be equipped with a 250 hp turbocharged engine. and a natural intake engine with a capacity of 155 hp. For real fans of this brand, the Subaru Impreza WRX STi was also released in 2000 with a 4-cylinder EJ20 horizontally opposed engine. He developed 280 hp. with a torque of 38.0 kg / m. This car was equipped with a 6-speed mechanical box transmissions with loved ones gear ratios. The Subaru Impreza WRX STi was shod with 16-inch tires. Large intercooler, independent suspension, brake system Brembo etc. provided the car with excellent driving performance. System all-wheel drive“consisted” of a central differential and a differential viscous coupling increased friction(Limited Slip Differential).

In 2002, the car underwent another minor update of the lineup, and, of course, the Impreza in the STi version only got better. The engine has been improved: increased torque. In addition, the car in the Spec C configuration was “shod” in 17-inch tires and equipped with an electronically controlled all-wheel drive system.

The second generation, in turn, can be divided into two versions: pre-styling and post-styling. They differ from each other only in small things, and the front of the Impreza, or rather, the front optics, has undergone the most cardinal facelift. The fact is that in 2002, a number of complaints were received from the Subaru factory rally team about the “stylish rounds” of the headlights. The shape of such optics did not allow to place racing spotlights in itself for better illumination of the track on high-speed sections with poor visibility. There were also serious dissatisfaction with the aerodynamics of the front end. The wishes were accepted, Subaru specialists thoroughly worked on the car, installing new no less stylish block headlights instead of the round ones, and corrected the aerodynamics of the front end.

In general, the technical stuffing of the two generations of Impreza is practically the same, the modifications remained almost the same, only changing their name. And as for the types of engines, gearboxes, suspension geometry - all this was transferred from the old to the new generation with only a slight upgrade.

The third generation Impreza appeared on Japanese market in 2007 and was initially presented only as a hatchback. The model was equipped with a 1.5-liter DOHC engine 107 hp or a 2-liter SOHC with 150 hp, with the former available in combination with a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic, and the latter only with a 4-speed automatic. The car was offered in both single-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions. In 2008, for marketing reasons, a sedan was added to the Impreza body line. The car was distinguished by increased comfort, a new design of the radiator grille, chrome-plated body trim elements and made an overall impression of luxury.

elongated wheelbase allowed to increase the rear passenger space, and thanks to the new suspension, the volume of the trunk has increased. Doors began to open wider, in particular rear doors now open to 75°, which increases the practicality of the car. For the first time, the Impreza has framed side windows on the doors for added sound deadening. Thanks to independent suspension on dual parallel A-shaped levers, the volume of the trunk has increased. Both the sedan and the hatchback have separate folding rear seats 60/40. The hatchback comes standard with rear spoiler and 160 mm shorter than the sedan. By tradition, the model received a proprietary symmetrical all-wheel drive.

The “charged” version of the WRX received a 2.5-liter turbo engine with a capacity of 230 hp. The engine has been significantly improved: the amount of harmful emissions has been significantly reduced. This naturally aspirated engine with an overhead camshaft has received new system intake, and catalytic converter new type. Top version Impreza received a new six-speed manual transmission.

The WRX STI has even more powerful engine, unique aerodynamic attachments, upgraded suspension, eighteen-inch alloy wheels, Brembo braking system, CD changer, pronounced sports seats and Alcantara upholstery. The STI model is equipped with the SI-drive system, three engine operating modes, throttle valve with electric drive. Options are two packages for the WRX. The BBS package includes BBS wheels and headlights, the BBS and Navigation package also includes a navigation system (replacing the conventional CD changer), on-board computer and bluetooth. Under the hood of the Impreza WRX STI is a turbocharged 2.5-liter DOHC with 300 hp. at 6000 rpm, which is paired with a six-speed manual transmission.

In the basic configuration, the car is equipped with two front and two side airbags, as well as inflatable curtains. On all versions, a collision-safe pedal assembly is installed. In most trim levels, a dynamic stabilization system (VDC) is installed.

In 2010, the Subaru Impreza family underwent restyling, having received a new false radiator grille and a modified front bumper. At the motor show in New York, the premiere of the updated “charged” version of the WRX STi and the sedan version of the WRX took place. Sales of cars with 1.5-liter engines have been discontinued this year.
