Press Release
7. Safety
Advancing the Ring-Shaped Reinforcement Frame Body Structure, the new WRX STI has realized high levels of safety and crash worthiness through effectively absorbing and dispersing crash impact in frontal, side, or rear impact crashes. The hood, for example, is specifically designed to disperse frontal impact. The new model boasts low-impact features for pedestrians and other vehicles in collisions. All models are equipped with dual SRS airbags, side SRS airbags and curtain airbags, as well as 3-point seat belts in the rear seats. A collapsible brake pedalis available on all models to reduce the risk of foot injuries in accidents.
8. Environmental friendly features
The new model achieved an additional 50% reduction in emissions from the levels of the 2005 exhaust emission regulations set forth by Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. This was accomplished primarily owing to reduced weight and performance improvements.
9. Utilities
The all-new double-wishbone rear suspension makes room for a wider and deeper luggage compartment, improving the utility of the car. The wide and flat load floor can accommodate two Tour-size golf bags or five carry-on bags. Larger door openings afford improved ingress and egress, and the rear doors open 75 degrees to allow for better rear seat access. The door pocket serves also as a beverage holder that can hold a 500-mL PET bottle. In addition, the center console box accommodates 8 CDs, while the console tray provides space for placing small items.
10. Others
Standard features on the WRX STI include retractable headlight washers; an anti-theft alarm system and immobilizer; a hood damper; and a keyless entry system with a push-bottom starter. An HDD navigation system with audio capability (compatible with Subaru G-Book Alpha telematics service)
is offered as a manufacturer's option.
