2025 Subaru WRX

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. Changes are minimal for 2026.

Brand context

About Subaru

<p>Subaru is known for driver-friendly cars and SUVs with standard full-time all-wheel drive. Its models frequently rank near the top of Consumer Reports’ owner satisfaction and reliability ratings, making some used Subarus a good choice. Along with all-wheel drive, Subarus are known for using a “boxer” style four-cylinder engine with opposing pistons that move horizontally. The design reduces vibration and gives the vehicle a low center of gravity. Most Subarus have options like heated seats and leather upholstery. The Crosstrek and Forester are each available as a fuel-efficient hybrid. The brand’s first electric vehicle, the Solterra, is joined by the Trailseeker and Uncharted SUVs. Sports cars like the WRX and rear-drive BRZ showcase the brand’s wilder side.</p>
