SUBARU PHILOSOPHY

Rally proven, case closed.

Subaru's heritage is built on performance and reliability, proven through years of World Rally Championship (WRC) competition since 1990. All Subaru vehicles share DNA with the WRC cars. The Impreza, a direct result of this experience, offers a refined yet rugged sport sedan and sport wagon, built for stability, agility, and readiness for daily driving on any continent.

SYMMETRICAL AWD + SUBARU BOXER

Strike a balance, get a grip, take control.

Subaru's core philosophy for over three decades has been the development of vehicles with a unique combination: the SUBARU BOXER engine and the symmetrical full-time All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system. This layout logically aligns drivetrain components near the vehicle's center, providing heightened stability and ideal weight distribution. Symmetrical full-time AWD offers superior balance, grip, and control.

The 2007 Subaru Impreza excels in cornering, showcasing its handling and stability. The symmetrical full-time AWD system ensures power is effectively delivered, especially in tight turns. Straightaways are opportunities for the SUBARU BOXER engines to perform.

Three distinct advantages:

• Better balance: The compact SUBARU BOXER engine's placement results in an exceptionally low center of gravity, improving handling, stability, and reducing body roll without overly stiff suspension.
• Less vibration: The 180° configuration of the SUBARU BOXER engine counteracts piston movement, minimizing vibration for smooth power delivery and driving comfort.
• More traction: Subaru's symmetrical full-time AWD provides advantages in cornering by sending power to all four wheels, ensuring neutral steering and precise, controlled handling, unlike front-wheel or rear-wheel drive systems which can lead to understeer or oversteer.

The Engine

Pure unadulterated power.

Innovative thinking drives Subaru engines, offering the 2007 Impreza line-up a blend of performance, reliability, efficiency, and fun. The SUBARU BOXER engine is versatile, performing equally well on rough terrain or highways.

Total driving enjoyment

The 2007 Impreza is available with three engines:

• SUBARU BOXER 2.5-litre SOHC engine: Powers the 2.5i and 2.5i Special Edition, delivering 173 hp and 166 lb-ft of torque. Features i-Active Valve Lift System for better low-end torque and drivability. Ideal balance of power and fuel economy.
• SUBARU BOXER 2.5-litre DOHC turbocharged engine: Found in the WRX, delivering 224 hp and 226 lb-ft of torque. Features turbocharger, intercooler, and Active Valve Control System for peak performance and low emissions. Voted Best 2.0 to 2.5-litre engine in International Engine of the Year Awards 2006.
• SUBARU BOXER 2.5-litre DOHC turbocharged, high-performance STI engine: Powers the WRX STI, delivering 293 hp and 290 lb-ft of torque. Features high-boost turbocharger, intercooler, and manual water spray for enhanced power. Includes lightweight, shimless valve lifters for improved response.

The Transmission

A shift in thinking about traction.

Subaru's transmission, front differential, and transfer case are integrated into a single unit, mounted symmetrically. This compact design ensures linear, controllable, full-time power delivery to all four wheels, maximizing traction and control.

Transmission Options:

• Subaru 4-speed Electronic Automatic Transmission (4EAT): Features advanced electronic direct control for smooth shifting and responsiveness. Includes a multi-plate transfer clutch that optimizes torque split for traction and stability.
• Subaru 5-speed Manual Transmission (5MT): Lightweight and compact, with a viscous-coupling limited-slip center differential for a constant 50/50 power balance. Strengthened for increased torque, especially in the WRX.
• Subaru 6-speed Manual Transmission (6MT) with DCCD: Offers close-ratio gearing and a short-throw shifter for enhanced feel and acceleration in the WRX STI. The Driver Controlled Centre Differential (DCCD) allows manual adjustment of torque split for optimal handling. Features a helical-type limited-slip front differential and a TORSEN® limited-slip rear differential for high-performance demands.

The Drivability

Built for speed, tuned for handling.

The balanced, symmetrical drivetrain provides a foundation for a 4-wheel independent suspension system, delivering precise handling and stability without sacrificing ride quality. Long, equal-length axle shafts maximize suspension travel and tire contact. The suspension is tuned to minimize torque steer and enhance the Impreza's sporty nature.

Lightweight construction, heavyweight strength

Subaru engineers have focused on reducing weight using aluminum, high-tensile steel, hydroforming, and laser welding. This results in nimble vehicles that still offer significant passenger safety and security.

Performance-minded suspension system

The chassis calibration provides control and agility. The suspension geometry and damper settings work effectively whether the vehicle is loaded or empty. Stabilizer bars enhance performance. The WRX STI features an inverted, strut-type suspension tuned by Subaru Tecnica International (STI) with additional stiffener bars and aluminum lateral links for optimal power delivery.

Active Safety

Active safety equals maximum safety.

Safety is paramount at Subaru. The 2007 Impreza is designed with best-in-class active safety features for a carefree and fun journey.

Sure-footed roadholding in almost any condition

Subaru's symmetrical full-time AWD is standard on all models, providing sure-footed traction and control in various conditions, from wet city streets to icy highways. Developed over 30 years, this technology ensures confident and safe driving.

Powerful and reliable braking system

All 2007 Impreza models (excluding WRX STI) feature a 4-wheel/4-channel/4-sensor Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) for shorter stopping distances. The WRX has 4-piston front calipers and 2-piston rear calipers with ventilated discs. The WRX STI is equipped with massive Brembo® brakes and a Super Sport 4-wheel/4-channel/5-sensor ABS with a g-load sensor for enhanced safety during cornering and braking.

Optimum visibility = heightened awareness

The Impreza offers a clear, unobstructed view of the road with height-adjustable seating, sashless window frames, and well-placed pillars, minimizing blind spots and enhancing hazard identification.

Passive Safety

Travel safe, rest assured.

In the event of an unavoidable accident, the 2007 Subaru Impreza offers a 360-degree barrier of protection, earning a 'Top Safety Pick - GOLD' rating from the IIHS for front, side, and rear impact crashworthiness.

Advanced ring-shaped reinforcement frame

This safety cage integrates the roof, pillars, and floor into an energy-absorbing cell that dissipates impact energy from any direction, enveloping the passenger cabin for superior collision safety.

All-around protection

Features include dual front airbags with dual-stage deployment, front seatbelts with pretensioners and load limiters, ISO-FIX/LATCH child seat anchors, three-point rear seatbelts, and passive safety front seat headrests that automatically adjust in rear-end collisions.

Pedestrian protection

The Impreza also considers pedestrian safety with detachable windshield wipers, energy-absorbing bumpers, and increased clearance between the aluminum hood and the engine.

The Utility

The intelligent use of personal space.

Beyond its driving fun, the 2007 Subaru Impreza offers practicality. Sedans feature a trunk pass-through for longer items. Sport Wagons offer 60/40-split, flat-folding rear seats and 1744 litres of cargo capacity, along with clever storage compartments.
