Driver-Centric Cockpit & Modern Connectivity

Inside the 2026 WRX, every detail is engineered to place control firmly in the driver’s hands while maintaining high connectivity:

• 11.6-Inch High-Definition STARLINK® Screen: Standard across the lineup, the tablet-style vertical touchscreen offers intuitive access to climate settings, audio, navigation, and seamless wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration.
• Motorsport-Inspired Interior Accents: Featuring a leather-wrapped flat-bottom steering wheel, aluminum pedal covers, red accent stitching, and carbon-fiber-patterned trim, the cabin reflects pure performance heritage.
• Performance Seating & Daily Utility: Available Recaro® performance seats with Ultrasuede® bolsters keep front occupants firmly planted during heavy cornering, while a 60/40-split folding rear seat and 12.0 cu. ft. trunk ensure daily practicality.

Aerodynamic Bodywork and Functional Styling

The aggressive stance of the 2026 WRX is both visually striking and aerodynamically functional. Its iconic aluminum hood scoop forces cool air directly into the intercooler to maintain optimal engine temperatures at high elevations.

Functional air outlets behind the front wheels and near the rear bumper reduce air turbulence under the vehicle, enhancing stability at highway speeds along I-40. Wide fenders, signature LED headlights, and a rear quad-tip exhaust finish off its uncompromising rally appearance.

Turbocharged Engine Dynamics & AWD Grip

Under the hood, the 2026 WRX provides relentless power and cornering precision built for tough road conditions:

• 2.4-Liter Turbocharged SUBARU BOXER® Engine: Pumping out 271 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, the direct-injected engine delivers broad torque throughout the rev range for crisp acceleration out of corners.
• Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive: Continuously distributes power to all four wheels, giving drivers supreme cornering grip and superior control on snow, gravel, or wet asphalt.
• Transmission Options: Enthusiasts can choose between a crisp, precise 6-speed manual transmission or the rapid-shifting Subaru Performance Transmission (SPT) with rev-matching downshifts.

Advanced EyeSight® Driver Assist Safety

Performance meets peace of mind with Subaru’s EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology, standard on all 2026 WRX models (including manual transmission variants):

• Pre-Collision Braking & Throttle Management: Scans ahead for unexpected obstacles, alerting the driver and applying emergency braking force when necessary to avoid collisions.
• Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering: Keeps a set distance from preceding vehicles and assists with steering guidance to ease driver fatigue on long highway drives.
• Blind-Spot Detection & Rear Cross-Traffic Alert: Provides alerts when vehicles approach unseen blind spots during lane changes or while reversing out of driveways.
