The new model will be available in 3 variations – Base, Sport, and RS. The differences will only concern engine sizes and power. Otherwise, everything will be identical. It is claimed that the base model will feature a 2.0-liter engine with 152 hp. The RS series will have a 2.5-liter engine with 182 hp.

Regardless of the modification, all cars will have a variator transmission. As with other Subaru models, manual gear selectors will remain located under the steering wheel. Enthusiasts of finer tuning will have access to torque vectoring and transmission ratio adjustments.

 

The Subaru Impreza 2024 body has become even stiffer. The power steering with electric assist is complemented by a pair of gears. All this should significantly improve the vehicle’s stability at high speeds and when passing turns.
