2017 Impreza's Award-Winning Interior Design Beats the Competition

The 2017 Subaru Impreza has further distanced itself among the competition, as it continues to collect more prestigious awards and accolades. The latest accolade bestowed to the Impreza comes from WardsAuto. The Impreza has been named to WardsAuto’s 2017 ‘10 Best User Experience’ list for intuitive and effective interior features. 

WardsAuto is a world-leading provider of automotive insights and analysis. They have served the industry's information needs for more than 90 years. The 2017 Wards' ‘10 Best User Experience’ competition pitted the Impreza against 23 other vehicles. The vehicles were tested and rated by editors on their ability to enhance an individual’s lifestyle and make technology easy to use. Key factors included: user-friendly multimedia system and interior controls, effective driver-assist technology, and overall value. 

WardsAuto's senior editor, Tom Murphy, had the following to say about the Subaru Impreza, "The Subaru Impreza is the only other vehicle this year winning both 10 Best Interiors and 10 Best UX honors. But the Impreza, with its all-new StarLink infotainment system, makes the cut for a whole lot less money: out the door for under $30,000 in Limited trim. 

In addition to an award-winning interior design and driver assist technology, the 2017 Impreza has the most passenger volume in its class. The model is available as a 5-door or sedan and is offered in four trim levels: 2.0i, 2.0i Premium, 2.0i Sport and 2.0i Limited. 

And of course, the Impreza offers drivers Subaru's industry-leading level of safety and security. The 2017 Impreza earned top ratings in all Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) evaluations and, when equipped with EyeSight and Steering Responsive Headlights, it is an IIHS 2017 TOP SAFETY PICK+.

Best of all, the new 2017 Impreza will be built, right here, in America! The Impreza has historically been produced only in Japan; however, Subaru decided to move the production of the Impreza to the U.S. because of increasing American demand for Subaru vehicles - like eight consecutive years of increased Subaru sales in the U.S!

Subaru Reveals Glimpse Into the Future with Impreza Sedan Concept

Many of the brands we carry at Ferguson Superstore revealed some attractive new products and concept cars at the 2015 Los Angeles auto show; from Buick's all-new 2017 LaCrosse to Kia's turquoise Optima convertible concept. But, there was one concept car we couldn't get out of our minds - Subaru's Impreza Sedan concept car. Ferguson's Stephen Hill was live at the Los Angeles Auto Show to capture a picture of the impressive sport sedan [below]. 

From the front-end hawk-eye headlights, along the sharp character line that runs the length of the car, to the sleek new trunk lid on the rear of the sporty sedan; the Subaru Impreza Sedan concept is quite appealing to look at. And, how can you not love that energetic Ruby Red Metallic paint color? 

The all-new Subaru Impreza will be the first example of Subaru's next-generation vehicles using a new modular platform. The design is sportier and less angular than the previous generation Impreza, but with a powerful stance expressing Subaru’s new Dynamic x Solid design language. The new design direction hints at not only the new Impreza design, but of Subaru’s future models.

Ferguson Subaru is Tulsa and Northeast Oklahoma's premier Subaru dealership. We carry all new Subaru sedans and crossovers, like the Subaru Impreza and the Subaru Forester. Check out our selection of new and used Subarus at www.FergusonSubaru.com

 

Highly Anticipated 2015 Subaru Legacy Gets Great Reviews

“Live, love, laugh, leave a legacy.”       
 - A quote from author and professional speaker, Stephen Covey

We believe this quote sums up Subaru of America's philosophy to a tee. Subaru owners are known for living life to the fullest and love to share their interests with others. Subaru is a company that celebrates life everyday - you only have to look at their Subaru Badges to find each Subaru driver's favorite lifestyle and hobby. 

What's life without love? The second word in Covey's quote aligns so well with Subaru's philosophy, it shares a reciprocal feeling in Subaru's slogan, Love, It's What Makes A Subaru, A Subaru. And who can't resist a good laugh at Subaru's commercials following the four-legged, sedan-driving Barkley family? And then there's Legacy. That last word Covey mentions. What is a legacy? Legacy can be described as something that has been handed down from one generation to the next. Well, Subaru has that covered as well.

The Subaru Legacy was first introduced in 1989. While the midsize-sedan may not be Subaru's highest selling model (well behind Subaru's SUV & CUV line-up; the Subaru Outback, SubaruForester, and Subaru XV Crosstrek), the Subaru Legacy has been a major staple in Subaru's portfolio for more than a  quarter century - with great success we might add. 96% of Legacy models sold in the past 10 years are still on the road!

2015 Subaru Legacy

If you follow our blog, then you may be aware that we are anxiously awaiting the arrival of the 2015 Subaru Legacy. The 2015 Legacy will mark the sixth generation of the car. The Legacy has been completely redesigned and offers a compelling blend of standout design, interior refinement, safety technology and higher fuel efficiency.

If we could, we would love to give the engineers over at Subaru a fist bump. Because, while we might not have the Legacy yet at our Broken Arrow dealership, several industry leading vehicle review critics have had the opportunity of test driving the midsized sedan. And the consensus is coming in as expected - high praises all.

KBB - "The Legacy has always earned accolades for its sophisticated all-wheel-drive system, but now it's hardly a one-trick pony -- it's a real contender among midsize sedans." [1]

Autoblog.com - "....those would-be Camry buyers with a taste for something a little more unique will end up owning what we consider to be a better overall car." [2]

Autoweek - "Smooth, capable and fairly quick in 3.6-liter trim, the Legacy is now as mainstream as the rest of the midsize-sedan segment. Bundle that with the famous Subaru all-wheel drive and decent fuel economy, and the Legacy now has a chance to expand past its Northwest and New England enclaves." [3]

2015 Subaru Legacy

The 2015 Subaru Legacy will come in 4 trim levels. The 2015 Legacy 2.5i with an MSRP price at $21,695, the 2015 Legacy 2.5i Premium with an MSRP price at $23,495, the 2015 Legacy 2.5i Limited with an MSRP price at $26,495, and the flagship of the sedan line-up, the 2015 Legacy 3.6R Limited with a MSRP price starting at $29,595.

Models with the 4-cylinder engine are estimated to get up to 36 mpg, while the 6-cylinder models have an EPA estimated 29 mpg.

The 2015 Subaru Legacy 2.5i comes standard with Lineartronic Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) with manual mode and paddle shift control switches and Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. The 2.5 liter Boxer engine has increased to 175 horsepower.

The Legacy 2.5i Premium offers the industry’s leading driver assist technology, Subaru Eyesight®, and also adds Blind Spot Detection (BSD) with Lane Change Assist (LCA.) It uses radar detection to assist the driver by detecting vehicles on either side of the vehicle that may be in the driver’s blind spots.

The new Subaru Legacy will be built at the Subaru of Indiana Automotive Plant in Lafayette, Indiana . The Indiana assembly plant uses an environmentally-friendly plant process and is recognized as a zero landfill facility. It's the only U.S. automotive plant designated as a Backyard Wildlife Habitat by the National Wildlife Federation.

2015 Subaru Legacy Revealed

It’s easy for us here at Ferguson Subaru to continually satisfy the needs of drivers in the Tulsa Metro, when we have such incredible, well-built automobiles at our dealership; such as MotorTrend’s “2014 Sport/Utility Vehicle of the Year” – the 2014 Subaru Forester, and the go-anywhere 2014 Subaru Outback. Our new and used Subaru's are blowing their Honda, or Toyota counterparts out of the water. And yet, Subaru continues to push the envelope with new and more innovating sedans and crossovers. Last week Subaru of America introduced the all-new 2015 Legacy at the 2014 Chicago Auto Show.

The 2015 Legacy takes several design cues from Subaru’s Legacy Concept revealed at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show. The production model combines efficient functioning and a sporty form. A “nosecone” front section smoothly combines the grille and bumper to create a sleeker design and coup-like profile. The 2015 Legacy will come standard with a rear-view camera, which is located closer to the center of the car for more natural imaging.

Still the only car in its class to come standard with All-Wheel Drive, the 2015 Legacy models will be equipped with a newly refined version of the Active Torque Split version of Symmetrical AWD. An electronically managed continuously variable transfer clutch actively controls torque distribution in response to driving conditions and wheel slippage.

Offering a choice of 4-cylinder and 6-cylinder BOXER engines, the 2015 Subaru Legacy comes standard with Lineartronic CVT (continuously variable transmission). With estimated ratings of 26 mpg city / 36 mpg highway / 30 mpg combined, the 2015 Legacy 2.5i matches or exceeds fuel economy of some midsize models that come only with front-wheel drive. The 6-cylinder model also sees fuel economy improve by 10 percent or more, with new estimated ratings of 20 mpg city / 28 mpg highway / 23 combined. A new aluminum hood reduces weight over the front wheels, helping to improve gas mileage and enhancing steering response.

The new 2015 Legacy will arrive at our Oklahoma Subaru dealership this summer. Go to our webstie at www.FergusonSubaru.com/2015-Subaru-Legacy to find out more information about the new Subaru sedan. You can always give us a call at 918-258-1800. Or stop by our dealership and test drive its predecessor the 2014 Subaru Legacy.
