2022 Subaru WRX

The 2022 Subaru WRX is available in four trim levels, starting with the Base. This starter model showcases flowing lines and muscular sculpting, giving it a silhouette that will remind you of a jungle cat ready to pounce. This distinctive appearance is accentuated by 17-inch gray-finished wheels, LED headlights, and quad stainless-steel exhaust outlets. On the Premium, you'll find 18-inch alloy wheels, a keyless entry system, and LED fog lights. If you enjoy the wind in your hair, go with the Limited and its power moonroof. The GT also lets you take advantage of a moonroof and body-colored power-folding side mirrors with integrated turn signals. Exterior color options include Ice Silver, Blue Pearl, and Ignition Red.

No matter which WRX model you choose, you'll enjoy powerful performance. Pop open the hood, and you'll find a 2.4-liter DOHC four-cylinder engine capable of producing 271 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. With that much power, the WRX can go from zero to 60 mph in 5.5 seconds. The engine's fuel-saving features help the WRX get up to 26 mpg on the highway.

Subaru pairs the WRX's robust engine with equally incredible performance dynamics to give you an unforgettable driving experience. Lower trims feature a six-speed manual transmission, or you can upgrade to a Subaru Performance automatic. The automatic transmission comes standard in the GT and features steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters. Both transmissions optimize engine response while enabling quick, smooth acceleration. All models feature a symmetrical all-wheel drive that maximizes stability and traction, even when traveling at top speeds. You can also take advantage of Subaru's vehicle dynamics control with active torque vectoring for exceptional control when cornering.

The 2022 WRX seats five with plenty of space to relax and enjoy the ride. Inside the Base, you'll find a six-way manually adjustable driver's seat, a leather-wrapped flat-bottomed steering wheel with red stitching, and a leather-wrapped shift knob. With the Premium, you'll enjoy sport-design electroluminescent gauges with full-sweep gauge needles that will make you feel like you're in a racecar cockpit. The Limited adds luxurious Ultrasuede-trimmed upholstery, a 10-way power-adjustable driver's seat, and a premium Harmon Kardon audio system. The GT offers Recaro performance-design front seats, and an available weather package adds heating to the seats.

While the 2022 WRX is fun to drive, it's also serious about safety. A frontal-collision warning serves as an extra set of eyes, applying the brakes when it senses an imminent collision. When a vehicle enters your WRX's blind-spot zones, you'll receive an alert from the blind-spot detection system. Other features include high-beam assistance, reverse automatic braking, and a tire-pressure monitoring system.
