A revised Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive Subaru Impreza WRX, featuring widebody sedan and hatch, will be unveiled at the New York International Auto Show next month.

The Model Year 2011 Impreza WRX will feature wider, flared wheel arches, new front and rear bumpers and grille. Front and rear track are increased too.

Both sedan and hatch variants will be launched in Australia late this year, at which time pricing and specification will be announced.

Normally aspirated Impreza versions will retain the current sedan and hatch body design.

The MY11 Impreza WRX will be officially unveiled on April 1 at the New York International Auto Show.

Nick Senior, Managing Director, Subaru Australia, said: "This new look gives the iconic Impreza WRX even greater presence in a package which has already won accolades for its turbocharged Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive ability.

"This design further distinguishes our turbo Impreza variants, including the Impreza WRX STI, from the normally aspirated versions, which we're sure will please the many loyal WRX fans out there."

Every Subaru sold in Australia features Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and a horizontally opposed Boxer engine, standard Vehicle Dynamics Control electronic stability program, and a five-star rating for occupant safety from the independent Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP). The result - driving confidence.
