Performance & Engine
Every trim of the new Subaru WRX is powered by the same 2.4-liter DOHC turbocharged SUBARU BOXER® engine — 271 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque with peak torque available from just 2,000 rpm. That wide powerband means immediate, usable thrust whether you're merging onto I-70 or climbing a Colorado mountain pass.
Standard Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive with Active Torque Vectoring delivers continuous traction and sharper cornering response — not an optional upgrade, but a foundation every WRX is built on. Step into the GT and you get Variable Torque Distribution AWD and electronically controlled dampers. The TS elevates the platform further with STI-tuned suspension, Brembo® performance brakes, and 19-inch wheels.
Exterior Styling
The 2027 WRX wears its performance intentions clearly. Every trim ships with LED headlights, LED fog lights, front and rear underspoilers, a rear bumper with integrated diffuser, trunk spoiler, and a quad stainless-steel exhaust outlet.
The Premium runs 18x8.5-inch dark gray aluminum-alloy wheels while the Limited and GT switch to a black finish. The TS steps up to 19x8.5-inch satin gray wheels on lower-profile 245/35 R19 summer tires. Limited, GT, and TS trims add Steering Responsive Headlights and a power-tilt moonroof — practical and purposeful upgrades that matter at elevation.
Interior Design, Technology & Infotainment
Inside, the new Subaru WRX is built around the driver. The Premium starts with performance-design front seats, cloth upholstery, a leather-wrapped flat-bottomed steering wheel, and aluminum-alloy pedal covers. Both the GT and TS step up to Recaro® performance-design front seats, an Ultrasuede® and leather interior, and a sport-design 12.3-inch fully digital instrument cluster.
Every 2027 WRX trim includes the Subaru 11.6-inch STARLINK® Multimedia system with wireless Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, and front and rear USB-A and USB-C ports. The Limited, GT, and TS add built-in navigation and the Harman Kardon® premium audio system.
Safety
EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology is standard on all four trims of the new Subaru WRX, delivering pre-collision braking, adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, and High Beam Assist. DriverFocus® Distraction Mitigation System is also included across the lineup.
- EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology (all trims)
- Blind-Spot Detection with Lane Change Assist & Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (Limited, GT & TS)
- Reverse Automatic Braking (RAB) (GT)
- Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) with Active Torque Vectoring
- Brembo® Performance Braking System (TS)
- MySubaru® Connected Services
Upcoming Performance Variants and Teases
Subaru has MotorTrend previewed high-performance manual developments slated through 2027. Word from manufacturer disclosures indicates an emphasis on enthusiast variants, including a WRX utilizing a heavy-duty TY85 manual transmission (historically tied to STI models) and potential performance hatchback concepts. On enthusiast forums like Reddit, opinions remain mixed regarding whether revived naming will adopt strict STI badges or alternative performance monikers, alongside speculation of a high-output hybrid or refined powertrain configuration.
