Tokyo, September 26, 2014 – Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. (FHI), the manufacturer of Subaru automobiles, will debut
an upgraded Subaru Impreza on the US market later this year as part of its 2015 model lineup. This will be the first
Impreza with Subaru’s proprietary “EyeSight” Driver Assist Technology, further adding to the US models with thistechnology.
The 2015 Impreza delivers enhancements in safety performance that the driving public now demands. As the first*1
Impreza with the new EyeSight system, it achieves a huge leap in preventative safety.
Design enhancements give the new Impreza a sportier front face while cosmetic additions to the interior reinforce
its expressions of sportiness and quality. Furthermore, optimal suspension tuning and other tweaks couple
enhanced riding comfort with a quieter interior. To boost fuel efficiency, Subaru has gone all out to minimize
internal engine friction without affecting the acclaimed driving performance of the Symmetrical AWD (All-Wheel*2Drive) system with the Boxer engine at its core. This effort has yielded a level of fuel economy that places theImpreza at the top among AWD passenger cars on the US market.
As well as the addition of advanced safety features, refinements have been made to the Impreza’s value as a carthat blends a stylish exterior with a high-quality interior, delivers pleasant and agile drivability and boasts anenvironmental friendliness with strong fuel economy. Together, these enhancements effectively reinforce theImpreza’s overall performance.
