Raw Power Meets Cutting Tech

Gutsy. Exciting. Sharp. You're about to meet the most advanced Subaru WRX and WRX STI ever made. Next generation technology ups the ante, from their new infotainment systems to the advanced proactive safety of EyeSight® Driver Assist system, as standard on WRX CVT models. Combining the best in performance and pleasure, the WRX and WRX STI earn their reputation.

Here's looking at you

High performance demands top-class safety. The EyeSight® Driver Assist system - as standard on Subaru WRX CVT models - is like your second pair of eyes. It spots potentially dangerous situations up ahead, and alerts you to take action. In the right situation, it even automatically applies the brakes if need be. With EyeSight® Driver Assist technology, your WRX CVT is always on alert.

Eyes in the back of your head

Vision Assist is your co-pilot on the road. Available on the WRX Premium, STI Premium and STI spec.R, its top-six features are always working to keep you safe and in control. If a vehicle is in your blind spot, a light symbol in your side mirror lights up – on either side of the car – to let you know.

Speak and WRX listens

Call your friends and set your soundtrack without even taking your hands off the wheel and on the Subaru WRX Premium and all Subaru WRX STI models, have a chat with Siri®  using the Siri® compatibility feature.

Requires compatible Siri® enabled Apple device to be paired with the infotainment system.

Music to your ears

Using Bluetooth®, USB connectivity or the auxiliary jack connect your phone and pump the tunes. Enjoy it even more with eight harman kardon® speakers on the Subaru WRX Premium and Subaru WRX STI range.

Sat nav gets you there

This much power deserves a big adventure. Lucky you'll never get lost with a world class satellite navigation system as standard on Subaru WRX Premium, and all Subaru WRX STI models. Built into the infotainment unit, it features a super large screen, full colour display and clear, simple audio instructions.

Superior Safety

You don’t get a 5 star ANCAP¹ safety rating for nothing. Subaru WRX and WRX STI are loaded with the very latest protective, preventative and predictive safety features.

5-star ANCAP rating

Thanks to a winning combination of collision protection technology, Subaru WRX and WRX STI have achieved the maximum 5 star ANCAP¹ safety rating. This is a result of a safety innovation program that includes seven SRS² airbags – dual front, dual front side, curtain-style and drivers-knee – and a whiplash reducing design, which provides extreme support for passengers’ head, neck and torso.

Let all the wheels do all the work

With the superior grip of the Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system, Subaru WRX and WRX STI are ready for any road or rugged mountain ahead. They grip the road with all four wheels, all of the time, giving you double the traction capacity of a two-wheel drive car, greater precision and even more cornering power. Because four wheels grip better than two.

Standard Specs & Features

Reckon the Subaru WRX is one of the best value performance cars out there? We do. Explore the five model variants, from the gutsy Subaru WRX to the brand new Subaru WRX STI spec.R. If you dare.

Legendary silhouette

There's no mistaking the shape of a Subaru WRX or Subaru WRX STI out of the corner of your eye. You know it’s them as they’re disappearing around a bend. Oozing with attitude, the Subaru WRX features a shark fin antenna, 18” alloy wheels, sports body kit and rear spoiler. But for those looking for a little more, Subaru WRX STI models feature 19” alloys wheels.
 

Sporty interior

The reconfigured cockpit of the Subaru WRX and WRX STI has never been more suited to the driver. The Multi-Function Display unit (MFD) offers a digital turbo boost gauge, Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC), fuel economy data and more. While the sleek dash boasts racing-style dials with red highlights and red needles. The body-hugging sports bucket seats are super comfortable. The D-shaped leather steering wheel gives superior feel and control. Subaru WRX STI spec.R comes with RECARO heated sports seats.

Cargo space to boot

With 460 litres of cargo space, there’s enough room for a sporting safari, hardware haul or a weekend escape. The 60/40 split folding rear seats allow room for your bike. Or you could put it on the roof using Genuine Subaru Accessories and fill the boot with camping gear. Either way, you’ve got enough space to do it all.
 

Luxury comforts

Raw power doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a little luxury along the way. For the next level of comfort, Subaru WRX Premium, WRX STI Premium and WRX STI spec.R offer dual zone climate control air-conditioning, smart key with push-start ignition, cruise control and 8-way power driver seats.

Low is the new high

The best everyday sports cars have a low centre of gravity. And because of the horizontal layout of the Boxer engine, both Subaru WRX and WRX STI get even lower still. Their configuration adds sticky grip for enhanced handling and performance.

Heavyweight Boxer engine

Sitting lower and flatter in the engine bay, the famous Subaru Boxer engine is designed to create less noise and vibration in the cabin, whilst the lower centre of gravity improves stability and traction on the road, meaning you can corner with even more confidence.

The WRX and WRX Premium feature the Direct Injection turbocharged 2.0-litre 4-cylinder petrol engine. This gutsy performer delivers 197kW of power at 5600rpm and 350Nm@2400-5200rpm of torque. The WRX STI, WRX STI Premium and WRX STI spec.R feature the breathtaking turbocharged 2.5-litre, 4-cylinder petrol engine. With 221kW of power at 6000rpm and 407Nm@4000rpm of torque, this one doesn’t mess around.

Smoother than smooth

The Sports Lineartronic™ CVT is the first ever longitudinally mounted system for AWD vehicles, it optimises the gear ratios to the driving conditions – making for an even better driving experience.

Available in Subaru WRX and WRX Premium, Sports Lineartronic™ CVT is extremely responsive whilst traversing winding roads and hills, with super strong pulling power and incredible smoothness in both urban and highway conditions. Sports Lineartronic™ CVT also offers a step shift feel.
