Based on Natural Resources Canada’s (NRCan) approved guidelines. Refer to NRCan’s Fuel Consumption Guide available at https://fcr-ccc.nrcan-rncan.gc.ca/en for more information. Full battery charge and ideal conditions are required. Figures will vary based, amongst others and non-exclusively, on driving and charging habits, speed, accessory use, weather and temperature, battery age, vehicle condition, road condition and other factors. In sub ideal conditions, figures may worsen by more than 50%. Battery capacity decreases with time and use which will further reduce range.

Subaru Launches “Impreza Sport Hybrid” in Japan — Fun-to-Drive Hybrid Model Added to Impreza Lineup
19 June, 2015
 

Tokyo, June 19, 2015 – Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. (FHI), the manufacturer of Subaru automobiles, will launch an “Impreza Sport Hybrid” on July 10, 2015, through Subaru dealerships in Japan.


The new Impreza Sport Hybrid is the second fun-to-drive hybrid from Subaru, following on from the Subaru XV Hybrid launched in 2013. The motor assist function offers smooth, linear acceleration, which is teamed with sharp, sporty handling to bring out the distinctive enjoyment of driving a hybrid model while achieving fuel economy of just 20.4 km/liter (JC08 mode).*1 Designed to make optimum use of the low center of gravity and superior weight balance that characterize Subaru’s unique Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive (AWD) layout, the electric motor and high-voltage batteries of the hybrid version are positioned for superb driveability. The hybrid model further enhances the appeal of the Impreza Sport lineup by embracing Subaru design values to achieve its own sporty, top-quality exterior look and a refined, up-to-the-minute interior style.



Main Features


Hybrid System and Power Unit



  • Motor assist function facilitates both smooth acceleration and low fuel consumption. Symmetrical AWD
    layout of Subaru’s unique AWD hybrid system offers superb driveability.

  • Energy management controls for the hybrid system batteries have been re-engineered to utilize
    regenerated energy at high speeds. Fuel economy has been enhanced by altering controls to boost
    regeneration frequency and make active use of battery power.

  • Specially designed Lineartronic continuously variable transmission (CVT) incorporates hybrid drive
    motor. Reduced friction and modified torque converter fluid characteristics have enhanced fuel
    economy while providing more direct driving sensation.


Hybrid-Spec EyeSight



  • EyeSight*2 is included as standard equipment on all grades. Coordinated control of the hybrid system
    and EyeSight enables the Eco-Cruise Control function to make the maximum use of electric vehicle
    driving and regenerative braking when Adaptive Cruise Control is operating, thereby improving fuel consumption under everyday conditions.


Packaging and Utility



  • Installing batteries and high-voltage components essential to the hybrid system, including the inverter
    and DC converter, as a single unit beneath the cargo space secures flat, user-friendly storage for
    luggage.




Driveability and Comfort


Suspension settings customized for the Impreza Sport Hybrid ensure that it is fun to drive, achieving the perfect balance of agile sportiness and superior ride comfort.


(1) Handling and Passenger Comfort



  • Teamed with the superior weight balance of the hybrid system, friction control dampers that enhance
    initial responsiveness and optimized suspension settings assure feel-good handling in sync with
    driver intent, together with outstanding ride quality.


(2) Tire Size



  • The 205/50R17 tires used on the gasoline model have been swapped for slightly wider,
    larger-diameter 215/50R17 wheels to achieve the very best balance between grip and fuel economy.


(3) Noise Insulation



  • Coupled with use of hydraulic engine mounts specially designed for the hybrid model, optimum
    placement and enhancement of sound insulation and absorption materials reduce vibration and
    noise. The passenger compartment has been designed for quiet and comfort.




Exterior and Interior Styling


Exclusive hybrid-grade styling features a top-quality sporty exterior and an advanced, refined interior.


(1) Exterior



  • Strongly contoured front end emphasizes the wide and low look exclusive to the hybrid grade, while
    new large-diameter tires and special side-sill spoilers create a dynamic, accented side view.

  • Rear end has been designed to embody the distinctive functionality and innovativeness of the hybrid
    model, featuring a roof-end spoiler to enhance aerodynamics and low-energy consumption LEDs in
    the rear combination lamps.


(2)Interior



  • Blue accents exclusive to the hybrid model, piano-black panels, and metallic trim combine to evoke a
    quality, up-to-the-minute feel.

  • Top-grade model features silver Ultrasuede*3 seats with blue stitching for even higher quality and
    refinement. Other popular high-spec features include power seats for the driver and front passenger.
