This vehicle features some hugely eye-catching design cues including hawk-shaped headlamps in the rear and a mean [hexagonal grille](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-quanta). The car also looks very sturdily planted to the road, thanks to the inclusion of special character lines down the side of vehicle. It appears that the Subaru Impreza Sedan Concept is looking to take the brand's offerings in a different direction, stylistically speaking. The ultra sharp lines of this vehicle's design are not typical of Subaru, and indicate an intention to switch things up to appeal to people with different tastes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 15% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Distinctive Design:** The hawk-shaped design of the Subaru Impreza Sedan Concept demonstrates an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the automotive industry by appealing to consumers who prefer unique and bold aesthetics. - **Stylistic Change:** The deliberate switch in design direction by Subaru with the Impreza Sedan Concept presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation within the automobile industry, allowing the brand to attract new customers with different tastes. - **Eye-catching Cues:** The inclusion of headlamps shaped like hawk eyes and a mean hexagonal grille on the Subaru Impreza Sedan Concept signals a disruptive innovation opportunity for the automotive industry to create visually striking design elements that captivate consumers. ### Who This Affects Most - **Automotive:** The automobile industry can leverage the distinctive design approach of the Subaru Impreza Sedan Concept to explore new avenues of disruptive innovation, appealing to a wider range of consumers with unique aesthetics. - **Automobile Manufacturing:** The deliberate stylistic change showcased by Subaru with the Impreza Sedan Concept presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation within the automobile manufacturing industry, allowing companies to differentiate themselves and attract customers with varying design preferences. - **Automotive Design:** The eye-catching cues featured on the Subaru Impreza Sedan Concept open up disruptive innovation opportunities within the automotive design industry to create bold and visually captivating elements that stand out in the market. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Lighting-Wrapped Concept Coupes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concept-coupe.md) - [Gaming-Inspired Vehicle Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-subcompact-suv.md) - [Rugged Adventure-Ready Electric SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trailseeker-ev-suv.md) - [Contoured Limousine-Like Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saab-aerostream.md) - [Sculpted Efficient Aerodynamic SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyundai-seven-concept.md) - [Sci-Fi-Inspired SUV Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toyota-rav4-dark-side-performance-concept.md) - [Revived Retro Concept Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/honda-hpx-concept.md) - [Outdoor-Focused Concept Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manifesto-concept-car.md) - [Sleek American EV Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lincoln-star-concept-vehicle.md)
