Subaru Impreza

new from ground up

By VANDI NAIDOO SUBARU expects big things of the new Impreza.

The Japanese manufacturer has spent more than a billion dollars in the development of the new platform and it is an investment it hopes to collect on – with this small car line-up and the other Subaru products that will use it as their foundations.

This new Impreza, available in both sedan and hatch, is almost entirely new from the ground up with only the odd bolt and window lever borrowed from the outgoing edition. The range offers three choices starting with the entrylevel 2.0-i sedan starting from $22,400 and ending with the range-topping 2.0i-S hatch which we put to the family test.

Lower and wider than its predecessor, this Impreza also shows off a more angular design that better integrates the trademark grille and daytime running KHDGOLJKWV 6XEWOH UH²QHPHQWV WR WKH UHDU bumper and spoiler and changes to the side mirrors also do their bit to present an overall exterior feel that may not exactly push the envelope but certainly allows for some expression in the address line.

The realisation that it will take more than the tried and tested to attract buyers, is echoed in the design of the interior too, with curves, brushed metals and stitching detail doing their bit to jazz up interest. Instrumentation is clear, dials and buttons sturdy and the use of hard plastics limited to areas of limited contact.

There are two cup holders in the centre console as well as 12V points and USB ports, which of course is a big tick for practicality, as are the larger

„BILLION DOLLAR BABY: The new Subaru Impreza shares nothing but a few bolts with the car it replaces. door openings which make entry and exit (especially is a straight-cut skirt) a smoother operation.

Subaru has spent time with the design and positioning of the seats which is apparent in the comfort afforded to the driver and passengers alike.

Head and legroom is pretty decent, given this is a hatch, with adults in the back seat also getting a fair bit of room to stretch out.

The boot (345 litres) will easily take two largish suitcases as well as a couple of backpacks and of course lowering the 60:40 back seat will give you more space should you need it. The wider boot opening and lower lip also makes it easier to load while the extra space in the spare wheel (in this case a spaceserver spare) cavity can also be used to stow valuables.

An 8.0-inch colour touchscreen serves as the interface for Subaru’s infotainment and reverse camera systems and now boasts improved graphics quality and more intuitive use. Bluetooth connectivity is on point and Apple

&DU3OD\ DQG $QGURLG $XWR VPDUWSKRQH mirroring also complements ease of use.

A second, smaller screen on top of the dash provides information on things like how the Eyesight system is performing, the current temperature and fuel consumption to name just three.

A new 2.0-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder boxer engine produces the 115kW of power and 196Nm of torque needed to move the Impreza along. It is SDUWQHUHG ZLWK D VHYHQ VWHS &RQWLQXDOO\ Variable Transmission, a combination common for all variants now that the manual option is no longer available.

The Impreza is the only small car around with all-wheel-drive, a trait we found more than useful during a rainy week of testing. Our top-of-the-range 2.0i-S also had active torque vectoring which sees power transferred to the wheels that can use it for maximum traction.

The Impreza has an impressive array of active and passive features including seven airbags, stability and traction control and reverse camera.

But it is their Eyesight driver assist

system, available in the mid and toprange variant, that is the real star of the show using cameras mounted on the top of the windscreen to enable features like blind spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, auto emergency braking and forward collision warning.

This third-generation Eyesight technology has the added bonus of being able to see colour which means it can recognise the brake lights of the car in front and adjust your speed accordingly.

Subaru makes no secret that lots of time and money was invested to ensure the revised architecture of this Impreza would deliver a balance of comfort and dynamics. A tall order indeed considering the success of the line-up of stablemates that follow are dependent on these underpinnings as well.

The result is a solid and well-balanced chassis that ensures the ride is assured and predictable no matter the circumstance, the drive so effortless that it is hardly noticeable at all.

It is a noticeable improvement on the car it replaces, absorbing bumps with ease and it is super quiet too – aside from a little bit of tyre noise and the rattling of the number plate on our test car.

The steering feels nicely weighted and direct, understeer has been reduced, brakes are quick to respond and there is minimal body sway.

With more than 20 worthy competitors on this small car segment, there is little doubt the Subaru Impreza has its work cut out. But it is also true that this iteration offers great dynamics, excellent safety, good features, affordable ownership and a real value for money proposition.

A 7.0-inch Advanced Display Audio touchscreen at eye level uses the Android operating system to offer a wide range of uses, allowing users to swipe, tap and pinch – just like on a tablet or smartphone – to control the vehicle’s audio system, display settings and other advanced features.

The standard 180-Watt audio system has eight speakers, while the RS and VTi-LX feature a 542-watt premium audio with 12 speakers, including two satellite speakers, centre speaker and sub-woofer. Digital radio is available on VTi-L, RS and VTi-LX models.

SUBTLE CHANGES: Minimalist styling of the revised Mazda CX-3 follows the same theme as big brother CX-5.

The revised Mazda CX-3

By EWAN KENNEDY

REAL DEAL: Range Rover Sport SVR is a natural progression of on- and off-road capabilities

Range Rover Sport Big, bold and stunning SVR

By EWAN KENNEDY RANGE Rover Sport SVR is one of the hardest accelerating 4WDs on the planet. Its 405 kW 5.0-litre supercharged V8 has it screaming from zero to 100 km/h in just 4.7 seconds.

Note the term ‘4WD’ in this opening par, because this isn’t an SUV, it is a genuine off-road vehicle that can handle harsh conditions that would have many so-called competitors stuck within the first few metres.

For example, wheel travel remains identical to the standard Sport, with 260 mm at the front and 272 mm at the rear.

Wading depth continues to be to ‘real’ off-road standards 850 mm.

After writing a story on the SVR’s accelerating prowess in European testing on various surfaces earlier this year I finished by saying, “Might pick up the phone and talk to my mates at JLR Australia and see if they can spare an SVR for a while. Better check with my bank as well to make sure there’s enough in there to pay for the petrol…”

So we’ve just spent a week in real world road testing of an SVR, that is boring motorways, clogged peak hour traffic, shopping centre carparks and so on.

Range Rover Sport SVR makes a strong visual statement, including a new front bumper with trapezoidal air intakes. There’s dark Range Rover script on the clamshell bonnet, which has revised vents. Its new grille has a dark finish that contrasts with the headlights’ graphics. And all-new aluminium fender panels incorporate a new design of vents while unique side mouldings add further muscularity.

At the rear there’s a high-level spoiler with a central brake light. The revised rear bumper features a gloss black diffuser and houses the SVR’s quad exhaust pipes.

Inside, the Sport’s sport seats are finished in luxurious Windsor leather with ribbed, quilted centres, Ebony

Black top stitching, eye-catching reflective piping, and all feature the Range Rover Sport SVR logo.

Range Rover Sport SVR uses an evolution of the company’s allaluminium 5.0-litre supercharged V8 engine.

It has cast-iron cylinder liners and cross-bolted main bearing caps among other features often found in ultra-high performance engines.

Larger air intakes in the front bumper increase airflow to the two charge-air coolers.

This reduces the temperature of pressurised air generated by the supercharger before it enters the engine thus producing high performance even in extreme conditions.

The eight-speed ZF 8HP70 automatic transmission has been optimised and now receives additional torque in its lower gears.

We fell in love with ‘our’ Range Rover Sport SVR, not only because of the virtually instant acceleration provided by a supercharged engine - no turbo lag here - but also because it sounds the part.

The SVR has a two-stage active exhaust featuring electronically controlled valves.

A racecar-like soundtrack produces a purposeful, modulated pulsing at lighter throttle openings combined with a higher-frequency, staccato sound as you approach peak performance.

Yet it’s not so loud as to upset the neighbours.

In country driving on our favourite test roads we experienced the delights of Range Rover’s Corner Recognition technology. Among other features it watches steering input and maintains one gear through a bend to provide stability that could have been hampered by unnecessary ratio changes. It recognises that the bend has straightened and that the driver may then want to accelerate hard. Clever stuff.

Torque Vectoring by Braking is recalibrated over that of the standard Range Sport and provides more extreme handling when desired, balancing the distribution of engine torque between the four wheels to reduce any understeer that might try to spoil the fun.

Active-Roll Control (ARC) replaces traditional anti-roll bars and uses actuators powered by a hydraulic pump to reduce body roll, adapting up to 1000 times a second. It’s tuned to behave specifically for the Sport SVR during performance driving.

Cleverly, it automatically reverts to the same software map as other Range Rover Sport derivatives once it senses it’s no longer doing track work.

During testing and development, the SVR recorded a Nordschleife (Nurburgring) lap time of just 8 minutes 14 seconds, a ridiculously fast time for a production SUV. Fuel consumption? Despite my fears voiced at the end of my January news story on the SVR’s accelerative performance it wasn’t as high as anticipated.

Around town it was usually in the nine to eleven litres per hundred kilometres range. When squirted on the open road in twisting hilly roads it got to the mid to high teens.

Efficiency of high-performance engines means they use fuel remarkably well.

On motorway running with the eightspeed automatic transmission keeping the engine ticking over at about 1200 to 1500 revs it sipped around seven litres petrol each 100 km. Brilliant.

We will let John Edwards, the managing director of Land Rover’s Special Operations division, have the last word, “The Range Rover Sport SVR is a natural progression beyond the core vehicle’s outstanding on- and off-road capabilities and leading-edge design. Its exhilarating performance will satisfy a particularly demanding customer set.”

MAZDA has given its CX-3 a midlife update which includes moderate styling changes inside and out, as well as additional equipment at either no extra charge or with small price increases.

Many of the changes are out of sight, with comfort and quietness levels receiving a great deal of work. Added body rigidity is part of this package. More about this in our Driving section of this news story.

There are four model grades: Neo, Maxx, sTouring and Akari; petrol and diesel engines; manual and automatic transmissions; and front or all-wheel-drive.

Some may feel this is an overkill as few AWD models, and even fewer diesels (around three per cent) have been sold in the past. Automatics overwhelm manuals by about nine to one. All of which indicates that most people are buying tall city-oriented hatchbacks rather than rough-road vehicles.

Anyhow, Mazda Australia certainly supplies something for everyone in this, the fastest growing class in Australia.

Styling sees a new nose and tail treatment.

Though the changes are subtle they do follow the minimalist look introduced a few weeks ago on the CX-3’s big brother, the CX-5, changes that we really like. New wheel designs are part of the package.

Inside, all models with the exception of the Neo have a 7.0-inch full-colour touchscreen infotainment screen. There’s a six-speaker audio system (Neo has four), and DAB+ radio (again poor Neo misses out).

Controls are steering wheel mounted and there’s Bluetooth handsfree audio and phone capability.

A Commander Control knob on the centre console is easy and intuitive to use, except, guess what, CX-3 Neo doesn’t get it.

The 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine is continued as before, and is again detuned to suit standard Australian unleaded fuel. That’s because petrol companies insist on charging a lot more for the better grades of fuel.

The little 1.5-litre turbo-diesel has received extensive revisions to make it quieter than before.

At idle from outside the CX-3 you can pick it as a diesel - but only just. Inside the car there is no sound difference diesel to petrol.

This Japanese company has been strong on the safety front for many years and additional active and passive features have been incorporated thorough the range. Very handy features include the ability of the car to sense driver inattention, read speed limit signs and actively brake the CX-3 if need be.

Though we weren’t doing back-to-back testing against the superseded model the new CX-3 certainly felt smooth, quiet and unfussed. Wind and road noise was minimal and while harsh roads did create added tyre noise we have heard worse.

Mazda has taken its already impressive CX-3 small SUV and improved it in many ways. We certainly recommend that it’s added to your short list.
