Going forward the development of its Impreza 2011, Subaru released new Suburu Impreza WRX models four-door sedan and five-door hatchback which will likely be launched at the 2010 New York International Auto Show. Inspired by the brand’s STI, both of Impreza WRX benefit from a new wide-body design for a a lot more masculine look and the presence of aggressive driving style.
The 2011 Subaru Impreza WRX has seen several changes to enhance its handling and performance. The WRX version of the Subaru Impreza is a top -performance model of the Impreza that’s generally used for rally and street racers. It’s now wider and lower than the earlier model, with wider tires to get a much better grip on the road. The automobile has flared fenders, fog lights, and a newly styled grille and bumper. In spite of all of these improvements, the car just weighs 33 more pounds over the ‘original body’ 2010 models, preserving their powerful acceleration performance. The design additionally keeps a consistent flow from front to rear bumper, generating a unique identity and a sense of stability in the cars.
The inside of the 2011 Subaru Impreza WRX will discover just a few new changes. The exclusive carbon black checkered upholstery highlighted by red stitching sets the tone for the sporty interior. The compact layout of the double-wishbone rear suspension allows to minimise intrusion into the cargo area, offering a wide and deep baggage area. In the five-door, the wide and flat load floor can accommodate two Tour-size golf bags with the rear seat backs in the upright position. In the four-door, which is 6.5-inches longer than the 5-door, the trunk will be able to accommodate three Tour-size golf bags. A 60/40-split folding rear seat further boosts cargo capacity and comfort in both models and the four-door also comes with a rear seat fold-down center armrest.
All WRX models are outfitted with standard aluminum-alloy pedal covers and driver’s footrest. Performance-design front seats integrate the backrest and head restraint into a single structure. As a sporty accent, the instrument panel electro-luminescent gauges use indicator needles that sweep the gauge faces upon engine startup.
The standard tilt and telescopic steering wheel is a 3-spoke, leather-wrapped design and features control switches for Bluetooth® hands-free phone function. A new AM/FM stereo with single-disc CD player features Bluetooth audio streaming and hands- free calling, iPod control capability, a USB port, 3.5mm aux. input jack and has XM/SIRIUS satellite radio capability (subscription is extra). An available navigation system integrates a automobile information center and Bluetooth hands-free calling.
The 2011 Subaru Impreza WRX 5-door and the 2011 Subaru Impreza WRX four-door are powered by a similar turbocharged/intercooled 2.5-liter four-cylinder BOXER engine coupled with a five-speed manual transmission. The 2011 Subaru Impreza WRX pumps 265 horsepower and 244 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,000 rpm.
The Impreza models are built around the Ring-Shaped Reinforcement Frame body structure with front and rear crumple zones. This design has been tested in Subaru models for more than ten years to give excellent crash protection. Side-curtain airbags are standard on all Subaru models, as is a four-wheel disc Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist.
