Шины на Subaru Impreza WRX (Субару)

The debut of the Subaru Impreza WRX took place in 1992, when the Japanese brand presented a sports version of the same compact sedan. The model became a key element of the brand's image due to the combination of a turbocharged engine, permanent all-wheel drive, and a relatively affordable price. The WRX quickly gained popularity among enthusiasts of active driving and became one of the most recognizable sports sedans of its time. Engineers used the experience of the factory team in the World Rally Championship, implementing solutions that were rarely found in serial cars of this class. Thanks to this, the WRX was able to compete not only with European sports sedans but also with more expensive models.

First Generation: Rally Legend

The car that appeared in 1992 was created on the basis of the compact Impreza sedan, but at the same time, it significantly differed from it in terms of technical components. The key among them was the opposed "four" with a volume of 2 liters with turbocharging. The engine layout allowed reducing the center of gravity of the car and improving stability in turns. The turbocharger provided a power of over 200 horsepower, which for a compact sedan in the early 1990s was a serious indicator.

No less important was the Symmetrical AWD all-wheel-drive system, which distributed traction between the axles through an interaxle differential, providing high stability on slippery surfaces. It was this feature that distinguished the WRX from most competitors, which used front-wheel drive.

The suspension was strengthened compared to the civilian versions of the "Impreza". More rigid shock absorbers, increased stabilizers of transverse stability, and more efficient brake mechanisms were used.

Second Generation: New Technologies

In 2000, a new generation appeared, which was still based on the Impreza sedan. The body structure became more rigid, aerodynamic characteristics improved, and the car's safety increased significantly. The turbocharged EJ20 engine, after another modernization cycle, developed 225-230 horsepower. One of the important features was the modernization of the transmission. On some versions, an interaxle differential with electronic control was used, which allowed changing the distribution of torque between the axles.

The equipment included climate control, more advanced audio systems, and improved sports seats. Despite the increase in comfort, the car retained its characteristic "mechanical" handling character. Against the background of competitors, the WRX stood out for its combination of versatility and high dynamics. Unlike many front-wheel drive sports hatchbacks, the all-wheel drive provided better traction at startup and stability on wet roads.

Third Generation: Change of Concept

The feature of the third-generation model in 2007 was the appearance of a 5-door hatchback in the lineup. Technically, the key difference was a new engine - 2.5 liters of the EJ255 series with higher torque at low revs. The suspension became more complex and precisely tuned. Engineers paid attention to increasing comfort while preserving the sports character of the car. The equipment included stability systems, improved brake mechanisms, and new options for mechanical and automatic transmissions.

Compared to European sports hatchbacks, the WRX stood out for its unique engine layout and permanent all-wheel drive, which provided a high level of road grip.

Fourth Generation: Modern Sports Sedan

The next generation in 2014 was allocated to a separate existing model, despite the preserved technical connection with the Impreza line. It differed from its predecessor not only in body design but also in its significantly increased torsional and bending strength. Technically, the key innovation was the appearance of a new turbo engine with the FA20 index, which developed 268 horsepower. It worked in pair with a 6-speed manual transmission or a Lineartronic variator. The improved all-wheel-drive system allowed increasing stability during active driving.

The salon also became significantly more modern: multimedia systems with a touch screen, sports seats with developed lateral support, and an extended set of electronic assistants appeared. Against the background of competitors, the WRX retained a unique combination of characteristics: an opposed turbo engine, permanent all-wheel drive, and vividly expressed sports handling. It was this combination that made the model cult among fans of dynamic cars.

The factory configuration, depending on the year of production and the version, implied the installation of wheels with a landing diameter from 16 to 18 inches, as well as tires in the size of 205/55, 215/45, and 245/40, designed for a high level of grip and precise response to steering. It is convenient to select suitable wheel products for this model in the "Mosavtoshina" online store, where options corresponding to the sports concept and factory chassis parameters are presented.
