Subaru Impreza Concept – Auto Shows
It doesn't take much squinting to see the next-gen Impreza in this concept.Subaru calls this L.A show car a concept, but it's clear that—minus a bit of the flash—this is basically the next-generation Impreza.
The mug and fender flares on this concept Impreza definitely remind us of the current Legacy, which means that when the production car launches, it could be the first time in more than a decade that Subaru's cars actually show some heavy family resemblance. The Legacy's amoeba-shaped headlights are among the styling details not carried over to this concept, replaced instead with racier units that look like the Acura TL’s. Below those sit gaping air intakes, horizontally bisected by wing-shaped LED fog lights—an upscale design touch, and one we hope survives the concept-to-production transition. Ikuo Mori, the CEO of Subaru’s parent company, Fuji Heavy Industries, recently said that the company is happy with the size of its products as they are now, so don't expect the next-gen Impreza to grow much from the current car's dimensions.
The Impreza concept features stereo cameras integrated into the A-pillars as part of Subaru's EyeSight system, a safety feature that determines the distance of cars and obstacles ahead and applies the brakes if you’re going to ram into them. EyeSight already is available on Japanese-market Legacys and is a part of the firm's dynamic cruise-control system, but we read the inclusion on the Impreza concept as an indication that EyeSight may be coming to American Subarus.
