Focused, Driver-Centric Cockpit

Inside the 2026 WRX, Subaru has designed a cockpit that places total control right at your fingertips while keeping you connected on every journey:

• 11.6-Inch SUBARU STARLINK® Multimedia Screen: Standard across the lineup, this high-definition tablet-style display provides rapid touch response, intuitive audio and climate controls, and effortless wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration.

• Recaro® Performance Seats: Standard on upper trims, these deeply bolstered seats wrapped in premium black Ultrasuede® hold you securely during aggressive cornering while providing long-distance comfort on extended road trips.

Aggressive & Aerodynamic Exterior Design

The 2026 WRX makes an unforgettable first impression with functional, rally-inspired styling that improves high-speed stability and cooling. A signature aluminum hood scoop feeds air directly to the intercooler, while sculpted wide-body fenders accommodate wider wheel fitments.

Functional air outlets behind the front wheels reduce air lift, while undersurface aerodynamic channeling reduces drag. Quad stainless-steel exhaust tips, a rear diffuser, and an integrated trunk spoiler finish off the tail end with an unmistakable athletic stance.

Subaru Boxer Turbo Power and Symmetrical AWD

Underneath its sculpted exterior lies a mechanical powertrain built to conquer any pavement or weather condition:

• 2.4-Liter Turbocharged BOXER® Engine: Pumping out a potent 271 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque across a broad powerband (2,000 to 5,200 rpm), this direct-injected engine provides responsive acceleration whenever you hit the gas.
• Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive & Active Torque Vectoring: Unlike front-wheel-drive competitors, standard AWD distributes power continuously to all four wheels for unparalleled grip on wet roads, loose gravel, or slick Kansas ice.
• 6-Speed Manual or Subaru Performance Transmission: Purists will love the short-throw 6-speed manual gearbox, while drivers seeking lightning-fast auto shifts can opt for the 8-speed SPT with steering wheel paddle shifters and rev-matching downshift blips.
• High-Performance Brembo® Brakes: Available on the tS trim, massive gold-finished Brembo® 6-piston front and 2-piston rear calipers clamp down on oversized rotors for fade-resistant stopping power on the track or highway.

Advanced Safety Features

Subaru proves that high performance and high safety belong together. For 2026, standard EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology is equipped across all WRX models—including those with a manual transmission:

• Pre-Collision Braking & Emergency Steering Assist: Scans the road ahead for unexpected hazards or stopped vehicles, applying emergency stopping power to help prevent front-end collisions.
• Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering: Maintains your selected speed and distance from traffic on I-35 or K-96 while providing gentle steering corrections to keep you centered in your lane.
• Blind-Spot Detection with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert: Warns you of vehicles hiding in your blind spots during lane changes or approaching as you back out of busy parking spaces.
