Subaru has already shown the chiselled new look expected for the next generation Impreza range in a pair of concepts shown earlier this year, but the Impreza’s faster stablemate, the WRX is still yet to surface.

Amongst the SGP’s capabilities is 'package protection' for a hybrid powertrain, with dedicated space set aside to position batteries, and it’s here that the WRX and WRX STI are set to benefit.
