Subaru announced on Tuesday that its all-new WRX is now available in SA dealerships.
The second stand-alone WRX to be launched since this iconic model first distanced itself from the Impreza nameplate back in 2014, this six-starred halo offering hits the asphalt with a newly developed 2.4l four-cylinder boxer engine churning out 202kW at 5,600rpm: a 5kW increase over that of the 2.0l lump that was fitted to its predecessor. Max torque however remains unchanged at a healthy 350Nm available between 2,000 and 5,200rpm.
This is transferred to all four wheels — cue the firm's legendary Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system — via your choice of Continuously Variable Transmission or a more traditional six-speed manual gearbox that will undoubtably be the choice of old-school purists. Though Subaru has supplied no performance figures for the 2022 WRX — so weird — the old model was capable of nailing the 0-100km/h sprint in a claimed 6.3 seconds while top speed was pegged at 240km/h.
New 11.6-inch Starlink touchscreen infotainment system is compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.Inside the cabin you'll find a plethora of standard niceties including an 11.6-inch Starlink touchscreen infotainment system that syncs with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 10-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, leather-wrapped multifunction steering wheel and brushed aluminium pedals. Both the front and rear seats benefit from three-way heating and are upholstered in sporty Opt for the CVT-equipped flagship — the WRX tS ES — and you'll score additional features such asSi-Drive Performance Management system that allows drivers to switch between one of five modes: Comfort, Normal, Individual , Sport and Sport+ . WRX tS ES CVT will set you back R859,000.
