Performance
The Subaru WRX lineup is known for its athleticism and agility. Every model is designed to deliver a legendary driving experience that's born out of the rally-cross circuit, allowing you to enjoy an energetic and enjoyable experience behind the wheel whether you're exploring off-road terrain or cruising the streets of Schaumburg. All models come equipped with Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive which actively sends power to the wheels with the most traction, resulting in a commanding experience behind the wheel with optimal handling and control regardless of the weather outside or the terrain standing between you and your next destination.
Engine and Transmission Setup
This year, the new Subaru WRX engine setup is all-new. The standard engine is a now a 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that delivers 271-horsepower and 258 pounds-feet of torque, replacing the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine from previous years so that you can enjoy a stronger performance behind the wheel. Even the turbocharger is new, offering increased responsiveness and acceleration. The Subaru WRX STI models will still come with a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 310-horsepower and 290 pounds-feet of torque.
You'll have the choice of a six-speed manual transmission for those that want to enjoy more control of their performance, however a continuously variable automatic transmission is available and comes with steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters on every model so you can enjoy similar simulated manual control of shifting when you want it.
Design
Every new Subaru WRX and WRX STI comes with uniquely sporty yet rugged styling, allowing you to turn heads all over the Des Plaines area. The WRX styling is inspired by rally-cross, including a large rear spoiler, front hood scoop, impressive LED headlights, and your choice of tire size and style. Inside the cabin, all models offer comfortable seating for five passengers on your choice of cloth or leather upholstery. There's also 12 cubic feet of cargo space in the trunk for all your storage needs.
Technology
Every new Subaru WRX model comes equipped with a touchscreen display for the Starlink multimedia system. This year, you can choose the larger 11.6-inch vertical touchscreen display that looks and performs just like a tablet would, giving you easy and convenient control of various features while you're on the go. All models also come equipped with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, allowing you to connect your smartphone using Bluetooth or with a USB cord so you can enjoy hands-free control of calls, messages, apps, music, and much more wherever your adventures take you.

For greater confidence behind the wheel, you can choose for a suite of safety features through the Eyesight Driver Assist Technology system, including driving aids like pre-collision braking, lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and more.
