Front and center in the cabin, and highlighting the driver-focused interior, is an all-new tablet-style high-definition center information display. The 11.6-inch STARLINK Multimedia Plus system offers direct touch controls for multimedia, HVAC, and vehicle settings. As with a smartphone, app icons on the touchscreen can be moved and configured based on personal preference. The new multimedia system also offers a split-screen display that can simultaneously show two types of information, such as navigation and audio, for an improved user experience.

Every WRX is equipped with legendary Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and Active Torque Vectoring. The standard 6-speed manual transmission has optimized gear ratios and refined shift quality. The new Subaru Performance Transmission (SPT) is available on all trim levels (standard on GT). The automatic SPT offers faster up and down shifts and incorporates adaptive shift control that can quickly respond to perform rev-matching downshifts under braking, maintain the ideal ratio through corners, and respond faster on corner exit.
