<< Prev Page 2 of 3 Next >>  It is the first time a manual transmission has been paired with the DIT Boxer engine.The new optional Sport Lineartronic CVT provides greatly improved shift response, for a sportier ride than other CVTs, for higher torque. It offers excellent environmental credentials combined with sporty driving excitement. The gear ratio and gear stick mechanism are optimized to achieve better drivability and smoother shifting, to match the sporty features of WRX. By widening the gear ratios from the existing five-speed manual transmission, to keep engine speeds lower, it has better fuel economy and is quieter at high speeds. The Sport Lineartronic CVT draws out the full potential of the 2.0-litre DIT Boxer engine in terms of power, torque and environmental performance. When driving in the D-range, selecting "Sport# (S#)" mode in "SI-Drive", switches to eight-speed shifting. Giving the Lineartronic a selectable mode, in addition to its standard smooth shifting mode, lets drivers directly feel WRX's impressive power performance, for a sporty ride. In line with Subaru's significant safety commitment, performance in all safety areas is enhanced. With Symmetrical AWD at its heart, the body is lightened, rigidity improved and chassis performance enhanced along with VDC. All this gives WRX the best hazard avoidance performance in its class, making driving excitement safe in any scenario. New WRX employs more high tensile steel plating with strengthened joints. While helping reduce weight, these changes also produce a stronger body, with world-class safety performance in collisions from the front, rear or sides. In addition to using collision-absorbing structure in the bonnet and bulkhead, collision-absorbing material is added in the side of the engine compartment, for increased pedestrian protection. The unrivalled WRX character from successive generations is honed yet again by further improving its practicality as a performance four-door sedan. The wheelbase is enlarged by 25 mm, expanding rear leg room. This gives new WRX more elbow and shoulder-room, without changing total body width. The bottom end of the A-pillar is extended 200 mm toward the front, and the wing mirrors mounted on the door panels. A new quarter window is added and the dashboard and door window sills are lower. These changes make for better visibility and sleek styling. Front and rear door opening dimensions are enlarged, making entry and exit much easier. Boot space is expanded and made easier to use by adopting fold-down rear seats, with a large opening and 60:40 split. << Prev Page 2 of 3 Next >> |
