Subaru Gives 2015 Impreza a Modest Facelift

Apparently, Subaru has refreshed the 2015 Impreza series with some cosmetic tweaks on the outside and a series of interior upgrades.

If you’re still looking for the visual changes, most of them were applied to the front end that gets a restyled bumper with new air inlets and chrome decorations, a reworked grille and tweaked headlamps. The 2015MY also gets new door mirrors, with the sedan gaining a low-profile trunk spoiler and LEDs for the center high mounted stoplight.

On the inside, Subaru has added sound deadening materials and thicker side glass windows with improved sealing to make the ride quieter on all models, while also adding standard features.

These include standard Rear Vision Camera and one-touch lane changer feature for the turn signals for all trims, cruise control and a touch-screen infotainment system for the base 2.0i, and an upgraded instrument cluster with center-mounted LCD color display and a steering wheel mounted control switch for the Limited and Sport Limited.

New options include a Keyless Access with Push-Button Start system and PIN code access on the 4-door Limited and Sport Limited, and EyeSight Driver Assist Technology for the 2.0i Limited 4-door and 2.0i Sport Limited.

All 2015 Imprezas are powered by a 148-hp 2.0-liter boxer engine that remains unchanged, hooked up to a five-speed manual or an improved Lineartronic CVT that is now standard on the Premium and Limited trims. There’s also a quicker ratio also for the electric power assisted steering on all models.
