Back in February, Subaru Southern Africa confirmed that the new Impreza would arrive in local dealers in the second quarter of 2017. And now we’ve stumbled across initial pricing – for the mid-spec model, at least.
While it seems the local Impreza range will eventually comprise three derivatives, only one variant will be available from launch: the 2,0i-S Lineartronic CVT.
This model is priced at R399 000. Subaru SA says the entry-level 2,0i Petrol Lineartronic CVT and range-topping 2,0i-S ES Lineartronic CVT, meanwhile, are available on pre-order from this month, with delivery set down from October, although pricing has yet to be confirmed.
All three variants employ the Japanese automaker’s 2,0-litre, four-cylinder, horizontally opposed petrol engine mated to a continuously variable transmission, sending 115 kW at 6 000 r/min and 196 N.m at 4 200 r/min to all four wheels.
A three-year/75 000 km warranty and three-year/75 000 km service plan (with intervals of 15 000 km) comes standard.
Expect the latest versions of the WRX and WRX STI to arrive later in the year.
