Impreza joins Subaru"s diesel fleet

Subaru Ireland has introduced a new diesel-powered version of the Impreza to the Irish market. This new and more frugal Impreza uses the now proven 150bhp Boxer turbo-diesel engine linked to a new six-speed manual transmission with the legendary Subaru All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) as part of the package. The Impreza Boxer diesel range comes with an entry price of €21,495. The car comes with a low 152g/km CO2 rating giving it a Band C annual road tax charge of just €302. The Impreza has a good fuel consumption rating of 5.8 litres/100km (50mpg). In just 12 months, Subaru has introduced the Boxer turbo-diesel engine to a number of models in its range. This impressive diesel engine is now available in the Legacy/Outback, Forester and the new 2009 Impreza models.
