Control
your destiny.
Many of the same features that make an Impreza fun to drive also help keep its occupants out of
harm’s way. The stable, responsive handling of its Subaru 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.
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.
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
wide side-view mirrors, help improve
your view of the road. What’s more, the
standard Rear-Vision Camera will give you
a clear view behind you for even greater
awareness when the vehicle is in reverse.
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.
