Limited-run hatch marks 30 years of Subaru Impreza nameplate and bids farewell to current generation
The current Subaru Impreza hatchback is being sent off in style with the release of the 2023 Subaru Impreza S-Edition.
Priced from $36,290 plus on-road costs, and due to arrive in showrooms during May, the Subaru Impreza S-Edition is billed as a special model that marks 30 years of service for the popular small car.
It also acts as a swansong for the current sixth-generation Impreza before the Gen VII model arrives later this year.
Positioned at the top of the Impreza range, $3500 upstream of the 2.0i-S, the S-Edition features a variety of STI cosmetic upgrades including black 18-inch Enkei alloy wheels, front splitter, black side skirt trim, sports grille, STI-branded gear selector and exclusive ‘S-Edition’ exterior badging.
The sexy new aesthetic combines with the same standard equipment found on the Impreza 2.0i-S (from $32,790), which runs to black leather-accented upholstery, a leather-clad steering wheel, dual-zone climate control, 8.0-inch infotainment screen with smartphone mirroring, eight-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with memory function, heated front seats, keyless entry and paddle shifters.
No changes have been made to the 2.0-litre flat four-cylinder engine (115kW/196Nm) that drives all four wheels via a continuously variable transmission.
Just four colours – Pure Red, Crystal White, Crystal Black Silica and Magnetite Grey – will be available on the special-edition.
It isn’t clear how many examples of the S-Edition are coming to Australia, however it’s only available with the hatch body style.
