The Subaru Impreza near Lafayette, LA was completely redesigned in 2017, thus experts don't anticipate seeing numerous changes for the 2018 model year. This doesn't mean, however, that drivers should overlook this model, as certain items will be upgraded. For this reason, anyone who has been considering buying a Subaru Impreza should visit one of our dealers before making their decision to see these changes in person. Available in both sedan and four-door hatchback versions, this is one vehicle that shouldn't be overlooked simply because it isn't new from the ground up.
Drivers won't be disappointed, as they can expect the 2018 Subaru Impreza near Lafayette LA to feature the new platform, which debuted last year, along with the larger size first seen in 2017. In addition, fuel economy is expected to remain around 38 miles per gallon for the sedan equipped with an automatic transmission. Subaru saw drivers liked these features, thus they are expected to remain, but this is only one of several reasons this car remains incredibly popular.
Features drivers fell in love with in the 2017 Impreza include the improved stability, ride comfort, and handling characteristics offered through the 70 percent increase in rigidity. This is thanks to the new global platform that Subaru began using in certain vehicles for the model year. Noise and vibration were lowered, and harshness has been reduced. The improvements were so widely appreciated by drivers that Subaru didn't make changes in these areas for the 2018 model year.
The manufacturer also opted not to make any changes to the spaciousness of the cabin. The 2018 Subaru Impreza in Lafayette features a cabin that feels much bigger than it actually is. In fact, many state they feel as if they are in a much larger car, both in the front and rear seats. Many compact cars leave taller people feeling cramped, but that isn't an issue when the Impreza is selected. The trunk isn't lacking in cargo space either.
What experts do expect to see in the Subaru Impreza 2018 is new features in the EyeSight technology package. This optional system already includes popular items such as pre-collision braking, and Subaru added to this. Lane Keep Assist is one new item and will ensure drivers remain in their chosen lane. Others include steering-responsive headlights, rear cross traffic alert, blind spot detection, and high beam assist. This is the first time the steering-responsive headlights have been offered on this model. In addition, drivers may choose to add automatic braking when the driver is reversing and an object is detected behind the car. The blind spot detection feature alerts the driver when another vehicle enters his or her blind spot. This vehicle is picked up by radar, and a light found in the mirror housing illuminates to provide this warning.
The engine found in the Impreza was enough to satisfy most drivers, thus Subaru has opted to keep this powerplant. It is a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine that provides 152 horsepower coupled with 145 pound-feet of torque. All-wheel drive remains standard on the Impreza, and base models come equipped with a five-speed manual transmission. For those who want more, the continuously variable transmission is also offered.
For those who are concerned about jobs in America, the Subaru Impreza is the model to buy. Each Impreza sold in the country in 2017 was built in Lafayette, Indiana, in a facility that employs more than 5,000 individuals. This facility does more than provide jobs, however. It has won awards for both environmental friendliness and quality manufacturing, allowing consumers to feel confident knowing they aren't harming the planet simply by purchasing a car. This facility is the first in the nation in its industry to obtain ISO 9001 certification for quality management. In addition, it is a zero-landfill center and has obtained certification as a National Wildlife Federation Backyard Wildlife Habitat. Subaru gives back to the country in a multitude of ways.
