Performance-Bred, Easy on the Curves, & Packed with Tech-The Subaru WRX Has a Winning Formula

On the outside, the New WRX oozes style and charm, but once you relax into the supportive, bolstered seats and turn on the ignition, things take on a decidedly more performance-oriented lean. The Subaru WRX enjoys a standard Turbocharged SUBARU BOXER® engine mated to a six-speed manual transmission, which lets you have precision control over all 268 horsepower. A track-tuned suspension, Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive (AWD) and Vehicle Dynamics Control with Active Torque Vectoring are all standard, which culminate in an unforgettable drive, whether you're on the track or on the road. There's even a 305-horsepower variant available in the Subaru WRX STI-just remember to keep it legal!

All that performance power comes nicely balanced by the sleek, athletic style, tech-savvy interior, and active safety equipment available on the New Subaru WRX.

For example, you can up your performance cred with available Recaro® Performance Seats found on the WRX STI, or take all your favorite music, apps, and podcasts with you thanks to the Subaru STARLINK™ multimedia system. In terms of safety, look for features like available Subaru EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology, which includes available Blind-Spot Detection and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, among other awesome features.

Performance

Each new Subaru WRX rides on the Subaru Global Platform, which gives it a lower center of gravity and less body roll around turns. Its new, longer-stroke suspension and reconfigured rear anti-roll bar give it a more comfortable ride and improved handling on twisty roads in Silverdale. The WRX's Drive Mode Select feature allows you to customize its ride with settings that range from Comfort to Normal to Sport.

The new Subaru WRX also delivers speedier acceleration thanks to its new direct-injection turbocharged BOXER® engine, which puts out 271 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. A newly available performance transmission offers faster up and down shifts for more efficient use of its power. All SRX models come standard with Symmetrical all-wheel drive and active torque vectoring for better grip on slippery streets in Port Orchard.

Tech Features

Each new Subaru WRX trim comes with the STARLINK infotainment system and a larger, tablet-style 11.6-inch touch screen. It's ergonomically arranged to be within easy reach of Bremerton drivers. Other standard tech features in the new WRX include:

• Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration
• A rearview camera
• A free, four-month subscription to SiriusXM® Platinum satellite radio
