In control.
Out of danger.
WHAT’S INSIDE:
Impreza’s AWD, agility and active safety systems help give you the power to
step around danger when it steps into your path.
WHAT IT DOES:
Subaru knows the best way to survive a collision is to never get into one in
the first place.
ACTIVE SAFETY, TO AVOID A COLLISION
Many of the same features which make an Impreza fun to drive also help keep its
occupants out of harm’s way. The stable, responsive handling of its Symmetrical
AWD is enhanced by the low centre of gravity of its SUBARU BOXER® engine.
Its standard Vehicle Dynamics Control System, surefooted suspension, antilock
brakes and quick steering help you maintain control.
BRAKING SYSTEM
With powerful disc brakes at every wheel, the Impreza offers reassuring braking
response. The standard 4-channel Antilock Braking System (ABS) helps the driver
retain steering control under hard braking. It’s teamed with Electronic Brake-force
Distribution, which reapportions the front/rear braking pressure when the vehicle
is loaded. And it also features two systems to ensure maximum braking during an
emergency—Brake Assist and Brake Override.
VISIBILITY
To avoid danger, you have to see it coming, and every Subaru is designed to help
the driver maintain maximum awareness of their surroundings. The cabin-forward
design of the Impreza, and features like a wide side-view mirror, help improve your
view of the road. What’s more, the Rear-Vision Camera, standard on the 2.0i Limited
Package, will give you a clear view behind you for even greater awareness when the
vehicle is in reverse.
VEHICLE DYNAMICS CONTROL SYSTEM
Standard on every Impreza, the Vehicle Dynamics Control System
monitors and analyzes if the vehicle is following the driver’s intended
course via an array of sensors. If the vehicle approaches the limits of
stability while cornering or avoiding an obstacle, the AWD torque
distribution, engine output and brakes at each wheel are adjusted to
assist in keeping the vehicle on course.
