Confidence in every gear.
WHAT’S INSIDE:
Impreza offers a choice in transmissions—including the highly efficient Lineartronic® CVT—each one mated to
its own variation of Symmetrical AWD.
WHAT IT DOES:
No matter how you choose to control the engine’s performance, you’ll always enjoy the solid balance and
control of Symmetrical AWD.
LINEARTRONIC® CVT + ACTIVE TORQUE SPLIT AWD
5-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION + VISCOUS CENTRE DIFFERENTIAL AWD
The Impreza achieves new levels of response and efficiency with Lineartronic®
CV T. By keeping the engine running in its optimal rev range and preserving
the momentum that’s of ten lost during a gear shif t, this unique transmission
dramatically maximizes fuel efficiency. And thanks to a compact and lightweight
configuration designed specially to work with the SUBARU BOXER® engine, it
ensures quick response and engaging performance. It’s longitudinally paired with
an active torque split AWD system that responds to traction conditions and the
transmission and driver inputs by continuously controlling the torque distribution
front to rear.
Geared for response and control, the 5-speed manual transmission allows you to
define your own personal driving style. It features Hill Holder System to help you
avoid rolling back when starting on a hill. Also, it’s paired with an AWD system
utilizing a viscous limited-slip centre differential (LSD). Whenever the balance of
traction changes, the LSD instantaneously redistributes the torque to the front and
rear wheels as needed.
