Subaru releases photo of next-generation Impreza

(April 7, 2010) NEW YORK — Subaru has released a photo of the redesigned 2012 Impreza sedan, ahead of the car's unveiling at the upcoming 2011 New York Auto Show.

Subaru provided few details on the redesigned Impreza, other than to say both four- and five-door models will make their world debut at the auto show, and that the new model will have a highway fuel-economy rating of 36 mpg, highest of any all-wheel-drive car sold in the U.S.

The company also said the new Impreza will have "a roomier interior and improved levels of comfort and refinement."

The fourth-generation Impreza, which goes on sale later this year in the U.S. as a 2012 model, is expected to feature Subaru's new-generation four-cylinder boxer engine, which will be offered in displacements of 2.0 and 2.5 liters.
