In the realm of rally-inspired sports sedans, few names evoke as much excitement and capability as the Subaru WRX. For 2024, Subaru has upped the ante with the introduction of the performance-enhanced WRX TR trim, alongside a lineup that spans from the Base WRX to the luxurious GT model. Let’s dive into what makes the 2024 Subaru WRX a standout in its class.
Crafted on Subaru’s rigid global platform, the 2024 WRX boasts a wide-body design that not only enhances its aggressive stance but also underscores its track-ready capabilities. The WRX features dual-pinion electric power steering and active torque vectoring, ensuring precise handling and cornering prowess. New to the lineup, the WRX TR trim takes performance to the next level with Brembo performance brakes sporting 6-piston front brake calipers and a meticulously re-tuned suspension, perfect for enthusiasts craving sharper dynamics on both road and track.
Inside the WRX, a driver-centric cabin awaits, blending sportiness with comfort. The 5-seat layout accommodates both spirited driving and everyday usability. Drivers will appreciate the flat-bottom steering wheel and the inclusion of carbon fiber accents that add a touch of racing-inspired flair. Opting for the TR or GT trims treats passengers to black Ultrasuede Recaro Performance Design seats with striking red stitching, combining ergonomic support with aesthetic appeal.
Subaru has equipped the 2024 WRX with a suite of advanced tech features aimed at enhancing convenience and connectivity. A centerpiece of the interior is the standard tablet-style 11.6-inch touchscreen display, now featuring wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration. For those seeking navigation capabilities, an optional upgrade is available, ensuring seamless guidance on every journey.
Under the hood, the WRX packs a turbocharged 2.4-liter 4-cylinder BOXER engine, delivering an impressive 271 horsepower. Power is seamlessly transmitted to Subaru’s legendary symmetrical all-wheel-drive system through a standard 6-speed manual transmission, while enthusiasts can opt for the Subaru Performance CVT automatic with an 8-speed manual shift mode for a tailored driving experience.
On the safety front, Subaru prioritizes peace of mind with standard EyeSight Driver-Assist Technology, available on the WRX manual transmission for the first time. This includes Adaptive Cruise Control, Pre-Collision Braking, and Lane Centering function, ensuring that every drive is as safe as it is exhilarating.
Subaru stands behind the durability and reliability of the WRX with a comprehensive warranty package. Owners benefit from a 3-year, 36,000-mile basic warranty, complemented by a 5-year, 60,000-mile powertrain warranty, offering reassurance for years to come.
