Codenamed P2000, the new Impreza was first complete redesign since introduction of Impreza World Rally Cars. Despite some 90% of the car being new, in reality however most of the changes were relatively small. Weight saving and distribution was the priority, in a quest to make car even more balanced.
Air circulation inside engine compartment was drastically improved, as is evident from changed air vents on the bonnet. Suspension geometry was refined and differential control units were upgraded. New electronics called for new wirings, too.
