Subaru of America, Inc. announced pricing on the 2023 Subaru WRX performance car. The fifth-generation of the WRX provides a thrilling drive with standard Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and a 2.4-liter turbocharged Subaru BOXER® engine. The tablet-style 11.6-inch SUBARU STARLINK Multimedia Plus infotainment system and award-winning EyeSight Driver Assist Technology are available. The top-of-the-line WRX GT comes standard with exclusive features including electronically controlled dampers and Recaro® Performance Design front seats.
The 2023 WRX arrives in retailers this Spring and offered in four trim levels: Base, Premium, Limited and GT.
The WRX lineup features legendary Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and a 2.4-liter turbocharged Subaru BOXER® engine, delivering 271 horsepower at 5,600 rpm and broad torque curve with 258 lb-ft of torque from 2,000-5,200 rpm. Active Torque Vectoring is also standard across the model line.
A 6-speed manual transmission with optimized gear ratios and refined shift quality is standard. The Subaru Performance Transmission (SPT) is available on all trim levels (standard on GT). The automatic SPT offers faster up and down shifts and incorporates adaptive shift control that can quickly respond to perform rev-matching downshifts under braking, maintain the ideal ratio through corners, and respond faster on corner exit.
The WRX is built on the Subaru Global Platform which offers a substantial upgrade in ride and handling performance from the previous generation thanks to increased chassis stiffness. The enhanced platform, which includes full inner frame construction and increased use of structural adhesive, delivers a 14 percent increase in front lateral rigidity, 28 percent increase in overall torsional rigidity, and a 75 percent increase in suspension mounting point rigidity (from the previous generation WRX).
The 2023 WRX has a wide-body design that projects an aggressive stance and bold look. At the front, Subaru’s signature hexagonal grille is paired with compact LED headlights and a broad hood scoop to emphasize the wide and low look. On Premium and higher trims, the rear deck lid integrates a low-profile rear spoiler in matching body color. Rear taillights are designed to glow with a look reminiscent of volcanic magma.
All SUBARU STARLINK Multimedia systems for the 2023 WRX are equipped with high-resolution touchscreens with on-screen controls for audio, climate, and vehicle features. Smartphone integration with Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, and Bluetooth® hands-free phone and audio streaming connectivity; AM/FM stereo; Rear Vision Camera; SiriusXM® All-Access radio and Travel Link®; and HD Radio® are also standard.
Select 2023 WRX trim levels are equipped with the latest generation of SUBARU STARLINK Safety and Security. Available packages offer emergency services and convenience features including Automatic Collision Notification, Enhanced Roadside Assistance, Stolen Vehicle Recovery, Vehicle Diagnostic Alerts, Remote Engine Start with Climate Control and more.
