The second generation Subaru Impreza, manufactured from 2000 to 2007, was produced in Japan in sedan and five-door hatchback body styles. It featured various engine options ranging from 1.5 to 2.5 liters, with turbocharged versions available for the WRX and WRX STI performance models. The vehicle typically came with all-wheel drive in export models but front-wheel drive was also an option in the Japanese market.
The initial phase of the second-generation Impreza (2000-2002) was known as the "Bug-eye" due to its controversial front-end styling with ovoid headlamps. Despite being based on an updated version of the first generation platform, the new Impreza maintained the distinctive contours of its predecessor.
