Another partial update was made to the Subaru Impreza in 2005. Cars of the Impreza family have not been subjected to such a radical restyling for a long time. The new design of the front end of the body was developed by the Greek designer Andreas Zapatinas, who previously worked at Alfa Romeo. The Impreza received original headlights, a complex-shaped radiator grille in the style of "spread wings" and a new front bumper. In addition, the shape of the hood and interior trim have undergone changes. An important technical change in the WRX for the European market was the introduction of a 2.5-liter turbocharged engine with 230 hp.
The models, which can be conventionally combined under the designation Impreza Turbo, are distinguished by an increased attention to sporty details. The 2.5 WRX sedan, in addition to the aerodynamic body kit, stood out from the regular version by the presence of aluminum pedals, leather braid for the handbrake lever, gearshift knob and steering wheel. The car is equipped with a Momo sports steering wheel, sports bucket seats, a hydraulic clutch, ventilated disc rear brakes, low-profile tires 215/45 R17 on aluminum rims. The equipment is generally quite rich and includes standard xenon headlights, air conditioning with climate control and a cabin filter, a 2DIN-sized stereo system, optional satellite navigation system and a touchscreen. Among the special editions that are most relevant to Europe, the British version of the WRX Type UK sedan stands out, which included a number of minor design features and a premium equipment package, including the standard SmartNav navigation system. The 2006 Impreza 2.5 WRX sedan was equipped with a new horizontally opposed EJ255 engine (DOHC, multipoint multipoint injection) with a maximum output of 169 kW (230 hp) at 5600 rpm, and torque reaches 320 Nm at 3600 rpm / min. Thus, compared to the previous version 2. 0 WRX, the increase was 5 hp. and 20 Nm. The new engine meets the Euro 4 standard (the previous one complies with Euro 3 standards), consumes about 10.3 liters of gasoline per 100 km. The power unit is connected to a sporty tuned 5-speed "mechanics". A limited slip differential is installed on the rear axle. The sedan accelerates from 0-100 km / h in 5.9 seconds and has a top speed of 230 km / h.

The fully independent suspension of the Subaru Impreza has been designed as well as possible and provides excellent driving characteristics and excellent handling. The WRX has a sufficient ground clearance of 155 mm. In the current generation, the Impreza has received a stiffer body shell, measures have been taken to further reduce weight, while the hood of the WRX version is made of light alloy. Compared to a conventional sedan, the WRX's dimensions differ slightly upward, plus wider discs slightly increase the turning circle - from 10.4 to 11 meters. The volume of the trunk of the sedan in this generation is about 400 liters according to the VDA standard.

Standard safety technologies for the Subaru Impreza WRX 2005-2007 include anti-lock braking system with brake force distribution and auxiliary braking function, front and side airbags for the driver and passenger, three-point belts in all seats, active front head restraints, Isofix mounts. The standard xenon optics are complemented by a headlamp cleaning system with high pressure washers. The body provides omnidirectional impact protection. Another feature of the Subaru Impreza can also be noted - the horizontally opposed engine provides a very low center of gravity of the car, which has a positive effect on handling and stability at high speeds. The second generation Subaru Impreza is one of the most interesting models on the market, in the WRX modification it has a pronounced sporty character. Together with the even more powerful WRX STI, this car has received special recognition among the public, professing an active driving style. When purchasing this car, you need to come to terms with such disadvantages as stiff suspension, high consumption and tax, expensive maintenance.
