The Subaru was an instant hit the moment it entered the market over 20 years ago. It was good then and it has become even better now. The new model for the iconic car of the Japanese brand is set to arrive early next year and it appears that the 2017 Impreza holds the key to Subaru's future.

2017 Impreza Built On New Platform

In a report from Stuff, the automaker stated that the 2017 Subaru Impreza is built on a new platform, which has a hundred percent more rigidity than the current model. This gives the 2017 Impreza better driving dynamics including less noise and reduced vibrations. In addition, the new platform also gives the 2017 Impreza better handling thanks to the center of gravity being lowered by 0.5mm.
