Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. (FHI), the maker of Subaru automobiles, today announced the introduction of its new-generation Subaru Impreza series in Japan. The all-new Impreza went on sale nationwide through Subaru dealerships today.

Developed around the concept of new and more refined designs for comfort plus performance, the third-generation Impreza features streamlined "5-door packaging", while it offers a rewarding and safe ride enhanced by Subaru Symmetrical AWD (All-Wheel Drive) with the Horizontally-Opposed engine and the newly developed chassis. The all-new Impreza intends to be a new global car that incorporates three core values: sophisticated styling; useful and convenient packaging; and a rewarding and trustworthy ride.

The new Impreza has been developed under the theme,
"Providing a fascinating Subaru distinctive value." In accordance with Subaru's philosophy, the core mechanism of Subaru Symmetrical AWD (All-Wheel Drive) with a Boxer engine continues to provide an enjoyable ride with fun to drive handling for the driver, as it integrates performance with advanced safety and environmental considerations.
Since its debut in 1992, the Impreza has earned worldwide popularity for its agile and sporty performance, compactness, convenience, and utility.

[Impreza is a coined word, deriving from an Italian word, impresa, meaning an emblem or aphorism. The car has upheld the badge, or image, of a sporty, young and agile car based on Subaru core technologies. Impreza is also associated with impression and FHI wants this car to project a strong and fresh impression.]
