THINK. About innovating. About uncompromised
performance. About creating a car that is an
extension of the driver. In engineering vehicles
that go beyond the expected, we never stop
thinking. To expand the outer limits of handling
and adhesion. To capture the grit and elation
of every rally championship. And to preserve
what makes a Subaru, a Subaru.

The Subaru Impreza It is exhilaration, intensified. It is the

thrilling jolt of unadulterated performance. It’s the traction

advantage of Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, the balance of

the SUBARU BOXER engine, and the laser-sharp responses

of a 4-wheel independent suspension tested and tuned

in the heat of World Rally Championships. All enhanced for

2006 with a more aggressive skin and a newly refined

interior. Ready for the inside line? Let your adrenaline surge.

All-wheel drive isn’t unique. But Symmetrical All-Wheel

Drive is. Its ideal balance ensures stability and poise. And its

efficiency at transmitting power ensures greater grip and

quick response to slippage. Providing more than just safety

on slick roads, it delivers intensified performance on any

Step inside the Impreza to find an environment designed to provide comfort and support so that the
driver can concentrate on the curves of the road. The meaty 3-spoke steering wheel rests ideally in
your grip. The race-inspired front seats hold you in during high-speed cornering with their substantial
bolsters and side supports. The tachometer is positioned dead center so you can upshift at the ideal

SYMMETRICAL ALL-WHEEL DRIVE

Continuous All-Wheel Drive 2.5i, Outback Sport and WRX models equipped with 5-speed manual transmission utilize a viscous-type locking center differential with
torque distribution normally configured at a 50/50-split front-to-rear. If wheel speed differs between front and rear axles, the system
helps distribute power to the wheels with the most traction. WRX models feature a viscous-type limited-slip rear differential.
Active All-Wheel Drive 2.5i and Outback Sport models equipped with 4-speed automatic transmission utilize an electronically controlled variable transfer clutch
to distribute power to where traction is needed. Sensors monitor parameters such as wheel slippage, throttle position and braking to help
determine torque distribution and direct it to the wheels with optimum traction.
Variable Torque Distribution (VTD) WRX models, equipped with 4-speed automatic transmission utilize an electronically controlled variable transfer clutch in conjunction with a
All-Wheel Drive planetary-type center differential. Torque distribution is normally configured at a performance-oriented rear-wheel-biased 45/55 split front-
to-rear. Sensors monitor parameters such as wheel slippage, throttle position and braking to help determine torque distribution and direct it
to the wheels with optimum traction. WRX models feature a viscous-type limited-slip rear differential.
Driver Controlled Center Differential (DCCD) Exclusive to the WRX STI, Driver Controlled Center Differential (DCCD) All-Wheel Drive, featuring both manual and automatic modes, uses an
All-Wheel Drive electronically managed multiplate transfer clutch and a mechanical limited-slip differential in conjunction with a planetary-gear-type center
differential to control power distribution between the front and rear wheels. Normally, DCCD splits power 41% front and 59% rear. Sensors
monitor parameters such as wheel slippage, steering angle, throttle position and braking to help determine torque distribution and direct it to
the wheels with optimum traction. DCCD also features a helical-type limited-slip front differential and mechanical limited-slip rear differential.
