For the fog lights and air intakes, gone are the trim pieces and separate shrouds. A uniform look is given for a stunning layout. When it comes to the car’s fog lights, it is now located on the bottom edges of the bumper.

Moreover, it is visibly smaller than the previous model’s size. As for remaining exterior aspects, the majority of it is carried over from the 2019 Subaru Impreza. There are no new wheels option to choose and both headlights and taillights are the same.

Subtle changes are done with the Subaru Impreza’s design, however; major modifications and upgrades are seen inside. The Subaru’s safety suite, also known as Eyesight received major updates. It now has a steer assist function. This feature aims to guide the driver to steer between lanes.

This update will surely help a driver, especially when driving on expressways wherein steering inputs completely alter the car’s directions. For the Steering Responsive Headlights (SRH), an addition of an adaptive mode is made to avoid blind spots from oncoming vehicles.
