Subaru WRX

What's on this page

Subaru WRX

The Subaru WRX can trace its lineage back to the mid-1990s with the Impreza WRX, but it became a stand-alone model in 2013.

The all-wheel drive turbocharged four cylinder is a wolf in four-door sedan clothing, and offers a level of performance above other cars in the same price point.

For the current generation, Subaru is offering the 2.4-litre turbocharged WRX with a traditional six-speed manual or a continuously variable transmission, and features a return of the wagon bodystyle. The once-hallowed higher-performance STi version has been discontinued to make way for the brand's move toward electrification.

Current prices range from $45,990 to $58,990 for the WRX (AWD) and WRX TS (awd).

Subaru WRX Colours
