Subaru Impreza WRX STi RA version IV test.

Thorough special feature! BC Working Motor Show

Introducing version IV

In addition to the explosive power output, you can feel the power even more. Even though the torque increased by only 1kgm, the difference in running is big.

This is the evolved Impreza

Impreza WRX RA STi ver.III･･･ 2,799,000 yen

TEST & REPORT Motonobu Takehira

Impreza with minor changes

How has the running changed.

Impreza WRX STi ver.IV

0~400m acceleration = 13.099 seconds

The Impreza WRX STi has also evolved into a version. The Impreza is also very motivated to compete with the Lancer Evo that has evolved into the Evolution IV.

These two cars will continue to evolve, not only in Japan, but also in the world of WRC, as they are not just rivals.

But even so, the high performance of this version IV is amazing. Even the version III showed performance surpassing that of the Lancer Evo, but it can be said that the appearance of this guy definitely led the Lancer Evo IV.

All that matters is the engine. Power is not a complaint in the version III. However, the low and medium speed torque was thin and the drivability was not good at all. In order to take advantage of the high power and run comfortably, I was forced to keep the revs high. But this one has even more low and medium speed torque.

The specs of the 280ps haven't changed, but when you run it, the high performance is clearly evident.

I can feel it.

The difference I felt in the Zeroyon test was that the clutch contact point at the start dash was different. The rpm that determines the rocket start is 500 rpm lower than version II.

Moreover, the extension of the top end is as sharp as ever. The limiter operates at 8200-8300 rpm, but it suddenly blows up around 8000 rpm. In the Zero-Yon test, where high revs can be maintained continuously due to the cross mission, we could not obtain data that showed that it was clearly faster than the version, but it goes without saying that it improved.

This means fewer shifts in the wider powerband, that's all

Time loss increases. Benefits on running, such as easier control of the accelerator. However, the merit to the running is very large.

You can really feel the gin. Of course, if it becomes a rally or a gymkhana, you can show off your power even more. The Lancer Evo IV is forced into an uphill battle. I'm looking forward to the confrontation as the evolved Lancer Evolution V will appear next spring.

In addition, the design of the instrument panel has changed to match the overall Impreza series MY change, and the STi's meter has become white. The feeling of running has increased, and this is also quite good.

Clears the target line sharply The impreza's unique linear handling feel is alive and well.

With center differential control

How will running change?

The center differential, which allows you to freely change the lock rate, is a weapon exclusive to the STi version RA, but how does operating this affect the driving? I tried it, and it's really convenient. By the way, you can change the lock rate by operating the dial even while driving.

With this, the driving characteristics can be freely obtained from full-time 4WD (no center differential) to rigid 4WD (part-time 4WD), but free driving is best for normal driving on public roads. There is no braking phenomenon in tight corners, and smooth handling is obtained. There is no particular problem with snowy roads. Only lock cases that are likely to get stuck.

However, if you want to take advantage of the potential you have and do sports driving, it is best to go closer to lock. More traction and better stability. Tight corners make the underside stronger, but cover it with tech. If you are driving on a low friction road such as a rally or dirt track, it will be almost locked.
