Subaru will debut its all new Impreza at September’s Frankfurt International Motor Show.

As well as the 15. and 2.0 five-door hatch, the World Rally Car concept Impreza, the facelifted Tribeca SUV, the new Justy supermini and the R1e electric car will be shown, along with the world’s first horizontally-opposed turbo-diesel engine.

The new Impreza boasts substantially increased passenger space thanks to a new platform with new multi-link, double-wishbone rear suspension. The latest Tribeca gets a refreshed front and rear, bigger 3.6-litre engine and improved five-speed automatic gearbox. Other improvements include easier access to the optional third row of seats in the seven-seat versions.

The Justy 1.0 litre five-door supermini will be one of the greensst cars on the market, and is supplied for sale in Europe Daihatsu.
