The 2017 Subaru Impreza near Biloxi, MS shapes up to be another noteworthy iteration of the best-selling sedan. Since debuting in March at the 2016 New York Auto Show, the latest model has turned many heads--and drawn plenty of praise--for it’s bolder, edgier styling.
However, a 2017 Subaru Impreza near Biloxi, MS is impressive for other noteworthy reasons. Next year’s model represents a turning point for Subaru, which is introducing two crucial firsts.
First to Be Built on the New Subaru Global Platform
Subaru, through it’s parent company, Fuji Heavy Industries, revealed this year its new Subaru global platform, serving the basis for all of its next-generation vehicles. The first one to “test drive” said platform is the 2017 Subaru Impreza near Biloxi, MS.
Why the overhaul? To begin with, the new platform is highly scalable, making it easier to accommodate various powertrains. This results in greater production efficiency of all vehicle types and models in Subaru factories around the world.
Drivers benefit from the platform change, too, namely when it comes to increased safety. According to Subaru, torsional rigidity has been upped by 70%, while bending strength is upped by 70-100%. Changes in the steering and suspension also lowered the center of gravity by about 5 millimeters, reducing rollover incidence by up to 50%.
First to Be Built in America
The 2017 Impreza, available soon in Subaru dealers serving Biloxi, MS, will be the first of its lineage to be 100% made in America. This is the result of the carmaker’s earlier move to invest $400 million towards expanding its Indiana manufacturing plant, one that is meant to support the company’s fast-growing sales in the country.
What Trims to Expect for the 2017 Subaru Impreza near Biloxi, MS?
As in earlier models, the 2017 Subaru Impreza will come in sedan and hatchback body styles. It will still sport Subaru’s iconic Boxer Engine, which now comes with direct fuel injection that increased horsepower from 148 to 152.
As for trims, four will be offered in the 2017 lineup: 2.0i base, Premium, Sport and Limited. Features range from standard (air conditioning, touchscreen infotainment system, 16-inch allow wheels) to deluxe (LED daytime running lights, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Blind Spot Detection).
If the 2017 Impreza has caught your interest, don’t hesitate to approach dealerships of Subaru serving Biloxi, MS, such as Baldwin Subaru. They can keep you abreast on release dates and let you know immediately when the cars finally roll into the lot. You can also ask them for a test drive to experience the exceptional ride that the newest Impreza offers.
