SUBARU INTRODUCES IMPREZA SPECIAL EDITION FOR 2010

• Revised Styling and Model Line Changes
• Special Edition Adds Premium Amenities, Including Moonroof and Heated Seats
• Available Navigation System Adds Bluetooth® Hands-Free Calling

The 2010 Subaru Impreza line, which features Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive as  standard, gains more of the premium amenities that more of today's compact car customers are seeking. A new Special Edition Package for the Impreza Premium trim line equips the 4-Door sedan or 5-Door model with a power moonroof, fog lights and the All-Weather Package featuring heated front seats, heated exterior mirrors and windshield wiper de-icer.

The 2010 Impreza line includes the 2.5i, Outback Sport and 2.5GT. The 2.5i is powered by a naturally aspirated, 170-hp 4-cylinder Boxer engine and available in 4-Door sedan and 5-Door models. New for 2010, the Premium trim line replaces the previous Premium Package, and the Special Edition Package adds the aforementioned vehicle upgrades to the Premium trim line. The available navigation system in the 2.5i Premium now includes Bluetooth hands-free phoning capability, with a microphone located in the overhead console. All Impreza models feature a new grille for 2010.

The 5-door Outback Sport gets its outdoor spirit from the larger Outback model and shares the Impreza 2.5i powertrain. The Outback Sport also features distinctive exterior trim and chassis and interior enhancements. The fully equipped Impreza 2.5GT, also available in 4-Door and 5-Door styles, is powered by a 224-hp turbocharged/intercooled 2.5-liter Boxer engine and equipped exclusively with an electronically controlled automatic transmission with SPORTSHIFT for manual control.
The Subaru Impreza remains the only car in its segment to come standard with All-Wheel Drive - renowned Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive combined with standard Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC). The Impreza has achieved the "Top Safety Pick" rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) for garnering the highest rating ("Good") in frontal offset, side and rear impact tests.

Like every Subaru model for 2010, the Impreza line is equipped as standard with 4-wheel disc ABS brakes with Brake Assist and Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD). The Incline Start Assist feature, which can prevent the vehicle from rolling backward when being driven away from a stop on an incline, is standard with the 5-speed manual transmission on all models.

The 2.5-liter normally aspirated 4-cylinder Boxer engine in the Impreza 2.5i and Outback Sport delivers 170 horsepower @ 6,000 rpm and 170 lb-ft. of torque @ 4,400 rpm, still among the highest ratings in the segment.

Sporty Exterior Design

 The Impreza 5-Door features a distinctive character line that sweeps upward at the rear. The short rear overhang and clear rear tail lamp lenses combine to integrate the side character line into the tail. The 4-Door, which is unique to the North American market, is distinguished by a wide, sharp front design giving way to a crisp side body crease. The rear of the 4-Door is set apart from the 5-Door model by red tail lamp lenses and a chrome strip below the trunk line that visually widens the tail. The 4-Door uses dual tailpipe outlets (one per side), and the 5-Door features a single, larger tailpipe outlet.

Comfort And Convenience

The Impreza emphasizes interior comfort and spaciousness, with high-quality materials that include double-stitched fabrics and high-grade plastics. Large door openings and rear doors that open to 75 degrees provide easy ingress and egress. Flexmats springs by Pullmaflex enhance seating comfort. The sweeping twin cockpit design embraces occupants and brushed aluminum-look insets flow into the center stack. The center console shape adds to the airiness of the interior, aided by the sculpted door panels and generous headroom. A molded recess in each door panel can accommodate a 24-oz. soft drink bottle, as well as loose items.

The headlights-off with ignition switch is a traditional Subaru convenience that can preserve battery life. Models with the optional automatic transmission are pre-wired for a dealer-installed remote-starting system. Dual gas strut hood supports are used instead of the prop-rod seen on other compact models, an unexpected convenience in this segment.

Navigation System With Advanced Audio

The Impreza 2.5i Premium with automatic-transmission is available with an optional navigation system that adds Bluetooth hands-free calling capability for 2010. The microphone is located in the overhead console.

The navigation system also includes Audyssey MultEQ audio enhancement. The Impreza debuted the first mobile application of this technology, which is also used in high-end home theater systems. Audyssey MultEQ creates the optimal sound experience for passengers in each seat position by tuning equalization that corrects for time and frequency response.

In addition to an input for MP3 players, the center console with navigation system also includes video jacks that can accommodate portable gaming devices. These can be displayed on the navigation screen when the vehicle is parked. The navigation screen is placed at the top of the dashboard for improved visibility and ease of use.

The Impreza models come pre-wired for XM® or SIRIUS® Satellite Radio. (The optional navigation system includes factory-installed SIRIUS with a roof-mounted antenna.)  The standard and optional audio systems feature the Radio Broadcast Data System, which can display a variety of data, including a song's title and artist.
