Model History

2022-

Current Generation

The redesigned 2022 Subaru WRX sticks close to the established formula, with this next-generation best defined by advancements in performance and technology. It features a new 2.4-liter turbocharged flat-four engine, with a modest power increase to 271 hp, and a choice of a 6-speed manual and a continuously variable transmission. Suspension and steering changes promise improved handling. The updated interior is dominated by a large center screen used for infotainment and many other controls. A new top-level GT trim brings Recaro front seats, adjustable suspension, and further driver assist features. Standard on all trims from 2024, the latest EyeSight active safety suite expands its capabilities. It includes FCW, AEB with pedestrian detection, LDW, and lane centering. 2025 Saw the introduction of a new performance-focused tS version, featuring electronically-controlled STI-tuned dampers with drive mode select, a full LCD digital gauge cluster, exclusive exterior and interior accents, high-performance Brembo brakes, Recaro Ultrasuede front seats, and 19-inch wheels.

2017-2021

2017 Redesign Year

With its blistering acceleration and tenacious cornering grip, the WRX is built for the enthusiast driver. A six-speed manual is standard, but a CVT is offered. Power is abundant and handling is nimble, but the ride is very stiff and choppy, and the stiff-feeling shifter and abrupt clutch engagement make the WRX frustrating as a daily driver. The higher-performance WRX STi has transmission and suspension differences along with a stronger 305-hp engine. Subaru's EyeSight safety system, including FCW and AEB, is optional.

2015-2016

2015 Redesign Year

With its blistering acceleration and tenacious cornering grip, the WRX is built for the enthusiast driver. A six-speed manual is standard, but a CVT is offered. Power is abundant and handling is nimble, but the ride is very stiff and choppy, and the stiff-feeling shifter and abrupt clutch engagement make the WRX frustrating as a daily driver. The higher-performance WRX STi has transmission and suspension differences along with a stronger 305-hp engine. New for 2016 is Subaru's Eyesight assistance package, which includes lane-keep assist, pre-collision braking, and lane-departure warning. Blind-spot detection and rear cross-traffic alert are also available. The hatchback is no longer available.
