WRX TR adds performance
focused upgrades to lineup
    
(December 21, 2023) Subaru of America has announced pricing on the 2024 Subaru WRX, including the recently unveiled WRX TR with performance-focused upgrades. The fifth generation WRX is enhanced with standard EyeSight Driver Assist Technology on all models, including those equipped with a manual transmission. All WRX models have a 271-horsepower, 2.4-liter turbocharged Subaru BOXER engine, and Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive.

A tablet-style 11.6-inch SUBARU STARLINK Multimedia Plus system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility is newly standard on all models for 2024. The 2024 Subaru WRX will arrive at retailers in early 2024 with a starting price of $33,855 including $1,120 destination charge.

The 2024 WRX will be offered in five trim levels: Base, Premium, Limited, TR, and GT. A 6-speed manual transmission is standard on all trim levels except the GT. The Subaru Performance Transmission (SPT) is available on Premium and Limited trim levels, and standard equipment on the GT. Prices range up to $42,775 for the new TR edition topping out at $45,335 for the GT.

The WRX features Subaru’s legendary Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive with Active Torque Vectoring, powered by a 2.4-liter turbocharged Subaru BOXER engine delivering 271 horsepower at 5,600 rpm and 258 pound-feet of torque delivered over a broad torque curve between 2,000-5,200 rpm. The standard 6-speed manual transmission features optimized gear ratios and is complemented with refined shift quality. The SPT transmission offers faster up and down shifts and includes adaptive shift control to quickly respond with rev-matching downshifts under braking to maintain an ideal ratio around corners and during corner exits.

The Subaru Global Platform underpins the 2024 WRX and enhances ride and handling performance thanks to a stiffer chassis compared to previous generations. The global platform, which includes full inner frame construction and strategic use of structural adhesive, improves front lateral rigidity by 14% and suspension mounting point rigidity by 75% compared to the previous-generation WRX and for 2024 has been further enhanced with additional structural reinforcement in the floor and rear suspension area.

Visually, the 2024 WRX is easily identifiable due to its broad hood scoop and signature hexagonal grille flanked by compact LED headlights. On WRX Premium and higher trims, the rear trunk lid incorporates a body-color low-profile rear spoiler, which is perched above rear taillights that radiate a glowing, volcanic lava-inspired red.

Inside, the 2024 WRX is equipped with an 11.6-inch SUBARU STARLINK Multimedia Plus system with high-resolution touchscreen for audio, vehicle, and climate controls. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility is included on all models, SiriusXM All-Access Radio and Travel Link, HD Radio, and Bluetooth hands-free phone and audio streaming are also equipped.

For 2024, EyeSight Driver Assist Technology is standard on WRX including, for the first time, models equipped with a manual transmission. EyeSight on models with manual transmission feature Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering, Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Departure Prevention, and Pre-Collision Brake Assist (Pre-Collision Throttle Management is included on models equipped with SPT)

Also standard across the model line is the latest generation of SUBARU STARLINK Safety and Security. Available packages offer emergency services and convenience features including Automatic Collision Notification, Enhanced Roadside Assistance, Stolen Vehicle Recovery, Vehicle Diagnostic Alerts, Remote Engine Start with Climate Control and more. A Wi-Fi hotspot is available with subscription on every 2024 WRX.
