The third generation STI was announced exclusively as a hatchback at the Tokyo auto show, and entered the market in 2008. Body marking began with the letters GR, in contrast to the traditional “hatchback” GH. Equipped with both an EJ207 engine and an EJ257. The first was installed on the Japanese version, and the second on the American. For the Japanese engine, minor modifications were made and equipped with a twin-turbine VF-49 turbine, while for the American 2.5 they decided to install a single-turbine VF-48 turbine. In addition, an electronically controlled differential was installed, both front and rear, and the SI Drive system, which allows you to select a driving mode. In the third generation, Subaru fans said goodbye to the “bezarless” doors, they were sacrificed for security, of course. The suspension was made softer for lovers of city driving and increasing comfort.

In two thousand and ten years a version of the WRX STi sedan was introduced, which, due to external differences, had a high rear spoiler.

Also in the third generation there were special versions. In two thousand nine years, FHI introduced the A-line model, assembled on the basis of the Subaru Impreza WRX STI hatchback. A sports 5-speed automatic transmission was installed on it with the ability to manually shift gears, or with the help of paddle shifters and the same SI Drive. Also, a larger engine (2.5, three hundred hp).
