Subaru took full advantage of the home soil to launch its face of the future. Using the Tokyo motor show, the company unveiled its new Impreza five-door concept car which shows off a sharply styled front with more angular body cuts.

There’s also a new appearance to the headlights which the brand claim is a modern take on Subaru’s trademark ‘hawk eye’ lights seen on Imprezas of bygone years.

In addition there is a revised hexagonal grille, while at the side and back the concept car has pronounced, aerodynamic lines giving it an assured ground-hugging stance.

A hint that Subaru was about to update its design came with the release of the new Levorg estate a few weeks ago but no date has been given for when the first of the all-new models will hit the showrooms.
