The new 2008 Subaru Impreza takes the venerable all-wheel drive icon to levels of sophistication and comfort that are beyond the previous generation. With new sheetmetal, a stiffer structure, and enhanced vehicle controls, the Impreza is better than ever.

Available as a naturally aspirated Impreza four-door sedan or five-door wagon, it features a 2.5 liter 4-cylinder aluminum boxer engine with 170 horsepower that supplies ample acceleration. The performance variant, the WRX, features a turbocharged version of the same engine, producing a robust 224 horsepower that supplies instant trust and effortless turbo boost. Either engine can be mated to a standard 5-speed manual transmission or an available 4-speed automatic transmission with SPORTSHIFT® manual control for instant gear changes. The legendary symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system comes standard across the line, providing even distribution of power to the front and rear wheels to optimize traction and handling in a variety of road and weather conditions.

Safety features include available 4-wheel disc brakes with an Anti-lock Braking System and Electronic Brake force distribution that increase stopping power and help prevent wheel lockup. Newly available on the Impreza, optional Vehicle Dynamics Control adjusts brake and engine power to keep the vehicle controlled during evasive maneuvers while incorporating all-speed Traction Control to limit wheelspin on slippery surfaces. Standard dual front airbags, seat-mounted front side-impact airbags, and side-curtain airbags offer excellent passenger protection in a collision. The standard Tire Pressure Monitoring System constantly monitors pressure and alerts the driver to any changes in inflation.

The evolutionary styling of the body is also reflected in its dimensions, as the Impreza sedan has grown 4.5 inches and is now longer than the wagon. New headlamps, a widened grille, and new rear tail lamp lenses are integrated seamlessly. The interior has become more upscale as well and features an optional touch-screen GPS Navigation System with a 7” LCD touch screen and detailed maps with turn-by-turn directions to guide your journey. Available Bluetooth® wireless capability enables you to make hands-free calls from your cell phone. The available 80-watt, 10-speaker audio system with in-dash CD changer provides excellent sound quality.

The 2008 Subaru Impreza offer amazing all-wheel drive capability, a wealth of safety features, and an exciting new design in sedan or wagon form.
