The present Subaru WRX STi is a bit disappointing on the styling front, compared with 2013’s WRX idea (pictured). however business insiders have told auto reveal that the next Impreza – due in 2016 – as well as the WRX that complies with it will get style cues from the concept.
Providing a glimmer of hope that all of the concept’s smooth style was not lost, Subaru’s WRX job general Manager, Masuo Takatsu, told us that the primary style style of the WRX idea might yet be used to a production car.

Now chief Subaru designer Mamoru Ishii has suggested that conclusive style hints from the lauded concept’s sporty, aggressive stance will indeed reach the production Impreza due in 2016, as well as the WRX that will follow.
“Yes, we have taken the next-generation Impreza’s style in a new direction that we are sure will excite the marketplace,” Ishii told us, adding that a few of the WRX Concept’s key proportions will transfer to the next WRX.
“We are planning to provide the lower section below the hip line a wider, more considerable stance as well as narrow up the roof section,” he said, suggesting a much bolder lower body as well as a more tapered greenhouse, as seen on the WRX Concept.
Subaru’s next new designs will be the 2015 liberty as well as Outback, both of which are due on sale right here early next year.
But the Japanese brand’s strong worldwide sales, higher share cost as well as recently appointed CEO Yasuyuki Yoshinaga, who has decades of experience in sales, advertising as well as strategy, have provided the business a whole new mindset towards its product line-up.
Three weeks back when he provided the company’s Prominence 2020 business plan as well as it record earnings for the last Japanese monetary year, Yoshinaga revealed that a new modular chassis design dubbed Subaru worldwide platform will underpin Subaru’s entire design starting from 2016. The next Impreza will emerge as one of very first of these all-new offerings late that year.
