2017 Subaru Impreza Spy Photos
What It Is: Very first, let’s talk about what it’s not: a five-door WRX. Subaru still says that it has no plans to bring back the five-door WRX, so however it may look like a five-door WRX and however much we would love to see another five-door WRX, this is not a five-door WRX. Besides, if it was, we’d see fatter wheels, thicker brakes, a broader track, some form of harass plumbing, and certainly no cover over the fetish mask scoop, lest it starve the engine for air during hot-weather testing.
Our intelligence indicates that this is a mule for Subaru’s next-generation Impreza, to arrive in two thousand sixteen as a two thousand seventeen model. If this is the case, the Impreza emerges poised to grow broader, as evidenced by the broader WRX-based front bodywork, taped roof panel, and assets sides that have been spread apart an extra inch or so on either side, most evident from the rear-three-quarter view.
We’re also not ruling out the possibility that this could be a mule for Subaru’s planned plug-in hybrid, also due in 2017. There’s no apparent sign of a charging port, but look closely under the rear bumper and you can make out what shows up to be a petite, single harass pipe, signaling the presence of an internal-combustion engine. We can also see a rear differential, so, yes, it will still suggest all-wheel drive.
Why It Matters: The Impreza is Subaru’s entry into the very competitive compact-car segment, and the two thousand seventeen iteration will be the very first product to rail on Subaru’s fresh modular global architecture. Those bones will eventually serve under most—if not all—of the automaker’s future products from the Impreza to a planned seven-seat crossover.
Earlier this year, Subaru announced that it will bring a plug-in hybrid to the U.S., likely in the vein of the Viziv two concept previewed earlier this year in Geneva. Automotive News reported that the car will be based on an existing nameplate and is slated to be sold in the states that adopt California emissions regulations, such as Fresh York, Massachusetts, and others. It may or may not substitute the XV Crosstrek Hybrid in the lineup when it arrives.
Platform: Subaru’s fresh global modular architecture is expected to be stronger and lighter than the one used by the current Impreza. We anxiously await details on the fresh architecture, and as soon as we turn up more information, we’ll bring it to you.
Powertrain: The two thousand seventeen Impreza’s fresh platform will also accommodate a fresh generation of direct-injected engines with cylinder deactivation. While the specifications of said engines remain undisclosed, you can bet that they will remain horizontally opposed and will boast improved fuel economy, lower emissions, and, hopefully, enhanced output compared to today’s offerings.
Estimated Arrival and Price: No date has been announced for the next-generation Impreza, but a two thousand sixteen debut is likely. The plug-in will go after, arriving sometime during the two thousand seventeen model year. Due to the stiff competition in the compact segment, we anticipate that pricing for the next-gen Impreza won’t stray far from the current $19K–$24K range. An Impreza-based hybrid would likely hit showrooms wearing a sticker closer to the present XV Crosstrek’s $27K–$31K price spread.
