All New Subaru Impreza WRX & STI Slideshow
The renowned 2.5 litre turbocharged ‘boxer’ engine fitted to the new Impreza WRX receives meaningful revisions to improve efficiency and provide much gutsier throttle response in ‘real world’ driving conditions. Maximum power for the standard WRX is an identical 230 PS to the previous model but now at a lower 5,200 rpm, this translates into much livelier acceleration from low engine speeds and an effortless seam of power in everyday driving.
On the transmission front, top now pulls 22.6 mph at 1,000 rpm instead of 23.5 mph – fuel economy is unharmed. It has a rapid 0-60 mph time of 6.1 seconds. Maximum speed is 130 mph. Fuel economy is now 19.8/34.4 and 27.2 mpg on the Urban/Extra Urban and Combined cycles while the CO2 emissions are 246 g/km.
Standard equipment on the Impreza 2.5 WRX includes 17 ins alloy wheels, front and rear spoilers, side skirts, a rear bumper diffuser, leather-covered steering wheel and gear knob, a rear limited-slip differential with Subaru Vehicle Dynamics Control, 10-speaker, six-disc radio/CD player and xenon headlamps.
The ultimate model is the Impreza 2.5 WRX STI Type UK visually more aggressive than the rest of the five-door Impreza range and forms the basis for the 2008 Subaru World Rally Championship entry.
