2007 Subaru Impreza 

The 2007 Impreza line-up of Sport Sedans and Sport Wagons is as purebred as they come: the direct descendents of rally champions and the result of countless hours of grueling competition. At the heart of all Impreza models lies a spirited SUBARU BOXER engine, the perfect complement to Subaru's legendary symmetrical full-time AWD system. Offering a wide range of models, there's bound to be an Impreza for even the most discerning of drivers. Whether it's the heart pumping rally-inspired performance that comes from the 224 hp Impreza WRX, the down to earth practicality and spirited nature of the 2.5i or the remarkable value of the 2.5i Special Edition (SE), there's sure to be a model that perfectly suits your personal driving needs.

Witness the next generation of Sport Sedan and Sport Wagon with the aggressive yet stylish 2007 Impreza. With its aerospace-inspired grill and built-in FIA World Rally Championship heritage, the Impreza's driving force not only matches that of a victor but looks like one too. A sporty front fascia, stylish headlights, eye-catching taillights, and wind-cheating aerodynamic lines all complement this already versatile and rally-edged ride.

Aerodynamic side ground effects help to reduce air flow under the vehicle thereby reducing lift and increasing stability at higher speeds.

Weather can play havoc with visibility while driving, but these projector beam halogen fog lights help clear the way even when fog, snow and rain are at their worst. (2.5i SE/WRX)

These stylish wheels are made of lightweight aluminum alloy to cut down on weight and accommodate a larger tire for increased grip and control. (2.5i/2.5i SE)

By necessity, a true Sport Sedan or Sport Wagon must include a comfortable, engaging and convenient interior environment. The 2007 Impreza models fit the bill with a spacious cockpit designed for the driving enthusiast and passenger alike. Well equipped with a wide variety of standard safety features, convenient amenities, and refined appointments like a premium audio system, expansive moonroof or heated front seats - the journey might almost be as much fun as the destination. Easy to read gauges and intuitive controls make driving simpler, and for those feeling a need for speed, the 2.5i SE and WRX models feature a leather-wrapped shifter and steering wheel, giving the vehicle a sporty, more tactile rally feeling.

Peace of mind will come easy knowing you are backed by Subaru's top notch active and passive safety technologies. Active safety begins with the all-weather traction and control of Subaru symmetrical full-time All-Wheel Drive. Complemented by a standard ABS and Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) system adds to your ability to avoid potential hazards. In the rare event of an unavoidable collision, an advanced ring-shaped reinforcement frame complete with energy-absorbing crumple zones, side-impact door beams and a hydroformed front sub-frame help keep both driver and passengers safe. Along with its dual-stage deployment front seat airbags, front seat side-impact airbags and passive safety head restraints (2.5i models), it's no wonder that Impreza earned 'Top Safety Pick -Gold' rating* from the Insurance Institute of Highway and Safety (IIHS) for front, side and rear impact crash worthiness.


* Ratings of "Good" are the highest rating awarded for 40-mph frontal offset, 31-mph side impact and 20-mph rear impact crash tests conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). A "Good" rating obtained in all three crash tests achieves a 'Top Safety Pick - GOLD'.

With its height-adjustable seating position, sashless window frames and the ideal placement of pillars, the Impreza has been designed to offer the driver a clear and unobstructed view of the road.

Dual front airbags with dual-stage deployment and built-in occupant sensors and front seat side-impact airbags provide additional protection in the event of a collision.

The ISO-FIX/LATCH child seat anchor system ensures secure position for your children's safety seats and a rear-door child safety locking system adds an extra layer of security.

Height-adjustable front seatbelts feature pretensioners and load limiters, which tighten the belts on impact then release slightly to help reduce stress on the torso.

The passive safety front seat headrests on the 2.5i automatically reduce the distance between the passenger and headrest in the event of a read-end collision

Innovative thinking is the driving force behind every Subaru and the reason why the 2007 Subaru Impreza line-up delivers the perfect blend of spirited performance, safety and sheer fun. Embodying the DNA of our legendary FIA World Rally Championship (WRC) cars, Impreza brings you some of the most advanced technology available in its class. Subaru symmetrical full-time All-Wheel Drive, a horizontally-opposed SUBARU BOXER engine, sport-tuned suspension and lightweight construction - all combine to give you the kind of power and performance you can trust no matter what driving conditions you may face.

The 2007 Impreza line-up offers a choice of two powerful engines. The Impreza 2.5i and 2.5i Special Edition are powered by a 2.5-litre, 173 hp, SOHC, SUBARU BOXER engine that delivers a broad power band for quick acceleration and maximum efficiency. The WRX, meanwhile, uses a 2.5-litre, 224 hp, DOHC, turbocharged and intercooled, SUBARU BOXER engine that incorporates technologies developed through years of success in rally competition for a heightened performance experience.

The Impreza's AWD transmission, front differential and transfer case are combined together into one simple unit mounted symmetrically along the centreline of the vehicle. This compact design allows for linear, controllable, full-time power to be delivered to all four wheels simultaneously - in the most efficient manner possible. The end result: optimum traction and control.

The 5-speed manual (5MT) transmission is built to appease both sporty and everyday driving with its viscous-coupling limited-slip centre differential that maintains a 50/50 (front /rear) torque split for maximum traction and vehicle stability.

The 4-speed electronic direct control automatic transmission (4EAT) suits everyday driving with smooth shifting, excellent response and impressive fuel efficiency. Its multi-plate transfer clutch (MPT) splits torque distribution 60/40 (front/rear) in most conditions for more predictable handling. In poor driving conditions or under hard acceleration, the MPT can vary the torque split up to 50/50 for maximum traction and stability.

The WRX boasts 4-piston brake calipers working with 292 x 24 mm ventilated discs up front and 2-piston calipers with 288 x 18 mm ventilated discs in the rear.

Standard on all Subaru vehicles, the Subaru symmetrical full-time All-Wheel Drive system provides the best possible traction and control due to ideal weight and power distribution. Performance and safety, therefore, elevates to the highest levels.

The 4-wheel / 4-channel / 4-sensor Anti-lock Braking System monitors each wheel individually preventing them from locking during heavy braking, thereby helping the driver to maintain steering control.
