With the heart and spunk of a rally car and the practicality of a Subaru, the 2024 Subaru WRX is practical for everyday driving and a whole lot of fun when you put your foot to the floor. Here’s a glimpse of what it’s like to drive one.

Exploring the 2024 Subaru WRX: Performance and Style

Performance on Demand

Driven by a twin-scroll turbocharged 2.4-liter BOXER engine, the 2024 WRX rockets off the line with 271 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, offering a broad and flat power band for optimally aggressive driving. The 6-speed manual transmission features a short-throw shifter for an engaging drive. Subaru’s Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive technology comes standard for increased traction in poor weather, while Vehicle Dynamics Control with Active Torque Vectoring helps enhance confidence in the corners.

Of course, uptrims of the WRX offer even more exciting features for enhanced performance. Electronically adjustable dampeners are standard on the WRX GT for a tunable ride. An automatic transmission and paddle shifters are available for those who prefer to let their Subaru handle the details, while high-performance Brembo brakes add stopping power and style standard on the TR trim.

Upscale Interior

With a standard SUBARU STARLINK 11.6-inch Multimedia Plus infotainment system featuring wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the WRX connects easily to your smartphone of choice. Front seats are designed for performance, and the analog needle gauges are full-sweep for easy fine-tuning. The shifter and D-shaped, racing-inspired steering wheel are wrapped in leather for a luscious tactile sensation, and there are even bottle openers built into each door.

Top-Notch Safety Specs

The 2024 WRX has the honor of bearing an IIHS Top Safety Pick designation, sporting excellent crash safety metrics and a full suite of technology to keep occupants safe. Subaru’s EyeSight Driver Assist Technology suite offers standard features like Pre-Collision Braking and Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering for safer and easier highway driving. Knee airbags are standard for the driver, along with side-curtain and front-seat side pelvis and torso airbags for maximum cushion when needed.

Amenities Available

Upper trims of the 2024 WRX offer even more in the way of creature comforts for an even more enjoyable ride. Ultrasuede-trimmed upholstery comes standard on the Limited trim and above, while Recaro performance-designed front seats are included on the TR trim, which also features a stiffer revised suspension. Heated side mirrors help handle cold starts and are standard on almost every trim, while a power tilt/sliding glass moonroof is standard on Limited and GT WRXs.

With a powertrain that’s ready to rev and Subaru’s legendary suspension and performance coming standard, it’s time to put this rally legend to the test. Test drive the 2024 WRX today at Royal Moore Subaru in Hillsboro, OR
