Subaru Impreza 5-Door Concept previews design future

This is what future Subaru models will look like—kind of.

Subaru at the Tokyo Motor Show unveiled the Impreza 5-Door Concept, a car that previews "the design not only of the next generation Impreza but Subaru’s future models as a whole."

According to Subaru, the Impreza 5-door Concept "achieves a higher level of aerodynamic performance while blending form with function, resulting in thoroughly modern styling which hints at how future versions of the car will look."

"The design study exhibits a wide and low stance, suggestive of the innate stability that Subaru is famed for," the automaker said in a release. "The hexagonal grille develops Subaru’s visual identity further, while the concept’s front combination lamps exhibit a bold reinterpretation of Subaru’s hallmark ‘hawk-eye’ headlights.

"The Impreza 5-door Concept boasts a dynamic look and stance, a result of strong, clean character lines extending from the front wheel arch to the rear shoulders. The front and rear combination lights have been designed to express a powerful, modern look, with the taut lines and compact silhouette of the car further enhancing the concept’s sportiness and stability."
