The 2024 Subaru WRX is a masterclass in car engineering, combining performance and technology. As part of the iconic WRX family, the 2024 model continues the rally-bred heritage, looks, and
goes.
Engine and Performance
Under the 2024 WRX bonnet is a 2.4L turbo BOXER engine producing 271 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. This means the WRX still has the acceleration and handling to match its reputation. The standard 6-speed manual is for driving purists, while the
optional Subaru Performance Transmission (SPT) has paddle shifters and optimized gear ratios for those who want more control and efficiency.
The WRX’s symmetrical all-wheel-drive system, a Subaru signature, gives you stability and traction. Active torque vectoring applies brake force to the inside wheels during cornering to enhance
cornering performance. So you get precise handling and grip in any conditions.
Suspension and Handling
The 2024 WRX has a suspension set up to balance comfort and agility. The front suspension is a strut type with an inverted design to reduce unsprung weight and improve response. The rear suspension is a double-wishbone to give stability and comfort and a
smoother ride over any terrain.
Subaru’s Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) system takes the WRX’s handling to another level. By monitoring and adjusting torque distribution, braking, and engine output, VDC gives you the best performance in any situation. The WRX’s brakes have ventilated
discs all around for reliable stopping power and overall dynamic ability.
Exterior
The exterior of the 2024 WRX is performance-focused with modern styling. The aggressive front face, with a hexagonal grille and LED headlights, looks purposeful and strong. The functional hood scoops and air vents not only improve aerodynamics but also look cool.
The WRX’s wide stance and sculpted body lines look like it’s moving even when it’s standing still. The flared fenders accommodate bigger wheels and tires to make it look even more athletic. At the back, a diffuser-integrated bumper and quad exhaust outlets
confirm the WRX is a sports car.
Interior and Comfort
Inside the 2024 WRX is a driver-focused cockpit to enhance the driving experience. High-quality materials including available Ultrasuede and leather-trimmed seats give a premium feel, while sport seats with bolstering give comfort and support when you’re
driving hard. The flat-bottom steering wheel and aluminum pedals
add to the performance feel.
The WRX’s interior also has the tech to make life more convenient and connected. The Subaru STARLINK® system with an 11.6-inchtouchscreen gives you access to navigation, entertainment, and vehicle settings. Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration for
seamless smartphone connectivity and available Harman Kardon® audio for an immersive sound.
Safety and Driver Assist
Safety is top of mind in the 2024 WRX. The vehicle has Subaru’s EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology which includes adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and pre-collision braking. These work together to give you an extra layer of protection to prevent
accidents and reduce the severity of impacts.
In addition to EyeSight®, the WRX has a range of safety features. Blind-spot detection and rear cross-traffic alert give you more awareness of your surroundings while reversing automatic braking helps you avoid obstacles when reversing. The WRX’s strong body
with high-strength steel helps protect occupants.
Technology and Infotainment
The 2024 WRX has a range of tech features to enhance driving fun and passenger comfort. The centerpiece of the WRX’s infotainment system is the Subaru STARLINK® 11.6 inch touchscreen which gives you access to navigation, audio, and climate controls. The
system is voice command enabled so you can keep your eyes on the road.
For audio enthusiasts, the available Harman Kardon® premium audio system has speakers placed strategically around the cabin to give you a rich audio experience with every drive. The WRX also has multiple USB ports and wireless charging so your devices stay
powered and connected.
Trim Levels and Options
The 2024 Subaru WRX is available in several trim levels each with its own set of features and options. The base WRX trim has a full list of standard features including the STARLINK® system, EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology, and 17-inch alloy wheels. The Premium trim adds a power moonroof, LED fog lights, and an upgraded audio system.
