Rally ver 2001
Subaru introduced the "New Age" IMPREZA global market in 2001. IMPREZA The second generation was designed to be larger, safer, stiffer, more refined and more sensitive. For many fans, the changes in the new car made less desirable because it was heavier and slower than a raw edge to it. The WRX Sedan had a track of 20 mm wider than its predecessor to help the handling, while the wagon remained the same. The coupe model was no longer available. The ovoid headlamp "bug-eye" style of the New Era was IMPREZA polarizer, but improvements in the car to incorporate a wider acceptance.
In the United States, the release of 227 hp (169 kW, 230 PS) 2.0 L turbo IMPREZA, the WRX, did not take place until 2002 model year, and IMPREZA WRX STi was delayed until the model year 2004. U.S. the STi version includes several departures from the Japanese and Europeans, as a turbocharged 2.5 L engine EJ257, more than double the 2.0 L turbo engine displacement is sold elsewhere. All 2006 Impreza American somehow use the 2.5 L EJ25 engine since naturally aspirated and turbo charged are available.
Some customers and the press' negative reaction to the New Age style Subaru IMPREZA forced to face the car for the 2004 model year, with more conventional square headlight, dubbed 'bubble eyes'. Impreza 2006 everyone, including models action has been redesigned again with the controversial "jet intake and wings" grille first debuted on the Subaru B9 Tribeca crossover SUV, along with new headlights, taillights and bumpers. Opinion is divided on this style, but generally regarded as the best application that IMPREZA Tribeca. The grille design was abandoned in the 3rd generation IMPREZA.
The most basic IMPREZA in Japan is 1.5 i 1.5 Liter SOHC EJ15 engine. 1.5 R comes with the 1.5 L DOHC engine with AVCS, but is only available with automatic transmission, while the 1.5i model is available with either manual or automatic transmission. For both models, 2WD and AWD versions are available. Option packages for either the 1.5io 1.5R include wheel size, seating, lighting and white LED meters measure.
