Subaru introduces the 2018 WRX with performance, comfort, design and safety enhancements for a more rewarding driving experience.
With its 268-hp, 2.0-liter direct injection turbocharged BOXER engine, Symmetrical All Wheel Drive and Active Torque Vectoring, the rally-bred WRX is a performance and value benchmark in the high-performance AWD sport-compact segment. The WRX comes standard with a 6-speed manual transmission and offers an optional performance automatic transmission.
The WRX features new front and rear suspension tuning for improved steering stability and ride comfort, while retaining the car's high cornering performance capability. Subaru significantly enhanced shifter feel for the 6-speed manual transmission, with a new synchro design and reduced friction, along with smoother clutch take-up. The WRX electric power steering was revised to provide an even smoother, more natural feel, while integrating the steering motor and electronic control unit reduces weight.
New measures that reduce unwanted noise include thicker door glass, revised door sealing and a foam-filled windshield header beam. A new, larger high-definition multi-function display (5.9-inch vs. 4.3-inch before) makes it easier to see vehicle functions at a glance.
All trim levels feature upgraded interior materials, rear seat armrest with cup holders, redesigned interior door grips and faster remote trunk opening.
WRX Limited models feature 10-way power driver's seat with lumbar adjustment. The standard WRX adds heated exterior mirrors while the WRX Premium upgrades to a SUBARU STARLINK 7.0" multimedia audio unit from the previous STARLINK 6.2" unit.
