Subaru has introduced the new Impreza with many safety focused technologies including eyesight technology and collision avoidance system at the same time. Its eyesight system has many features itself and plays a vital role in the safety of Subaru vehicles and its occupants at the same time.

Subaru Impreza Engines
Subaru always has known for it’s horizontally opposed boxer engines and it becomes even appealing when comes with its newly added safety gear. The engine options are nothing else but the boxer engines. However, the new Impreza offers two petrol engine options, with two different variations including 1.6-litre and 2.0-Litre Subaru Impreza petrol engines. Both engines have an option of selecting all-wheel-drive system as the standard feature.
Petrol engines
The engine lineup starts with the base model where a 1.6-Litre engine cranks 114bhp of power and a torque of 150nm at the same time. It is capable of doing 62 miles per hour in over 12 seconds, which means that it is a bit slower engine by large. It has a rated top speed of 112 miles per hour only.
On the other hand, the next level of the boxer engines is 2.0-Litre Subaru Impreza Petrol Engine with improved acceleration and it makes the benchmark speed of 62 miles per hour in under 10 seconds. It has a top speed of 130 miles per hour and cranks 156hp of power along with a torque of 196nm. Both engines are reported as efficiently quiet and smooth but the 1.6-litre engine a bit slower if compared to the 2.0-litre engine. But after 50 per cent rpm level, both engines start shouting and some serious power shortfalls start arising according to the tester of these vehicles. Although Subaru has lower defect rate in its engines but being a unique engine, it requires utmost attention of the owner and the garage, if in case an owner needs a replacement of the engine, the better option should be a reconditioned Subaru Impreza engine for sale in UK rather than go for a used engine because there is a great chance that the used unit was removed due to any faults in the engine. The EURO NCAP has awarded 5 stars to Impreza safety.
Subaru Impreza Eyesight System
Previously all of these systems were available as a single option on all vehicles and there was nothing offered as standard feature. The 2019 trims are now improved with these features.

The model price is also less than the previous models offered in the last year.
