In 2023, the pricing of the WRX witnessed a marginal increase, starting from $30,100 and rising to $31,625. It continues to be equipped with Subaru’s 2.4-liter turbocharged Boxer engine, delivering 271 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. The vehicle comes standard with a six-speed manual transmission, while the ‘SPT’ CVT automatic transmission is available as an option. As customary with the WRX, all-wheel drive comes as a standard feature.
Although the Subaru WRX may not have been the most popular choice in the sports sedan segment, especially with contenders like the outstanding Honda Civic Si and Toyota GR Corolla gaining prominence, its resurgence in sales figures is commendable. The WRX continues to present an appealing option for automotive enthusiasts in search of a spirited daily driver within a similar price bracket.
Our review of the 2022 Subaru WRX at The Drive highlighted its newfound maturity, boasting a more refined ride quality and an upgraded interior. While this transformation may be perceived by some as Subaru’s softening approach, it appears to align well with the preferences of its customer base.
