Do the excitement machine
Welcome to Australia’s iconic performance vehicle. The thrill of a turbocharged Boxer engine combined with the legendary grip of Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, in a distinctively muscular package. The Subaru WRX has grunt, 197kW power and 350Nm torque to be exact.
Every millimetre of the WRX is built for excitement. A thumping stereo, super large touchscreen, sports body kit, high tech driver assist features and the option of one of the best LineartronicTM CVT automatic transmissions around – this car compromises nothing.
Leave boring behind
No one does performance like we do, and the Subaru WRX is built for pure driving enjoyment. With a stylish and sophisticated interior surrounded by muscle car power and looks, this car oozes attitude.
If the classic mesh grille, 18" alloys, rear spoiler, red brake calipers1 and sports body kit don’t command attention, the rumble of the Boxer engine will – delivering 197kW of power and 350Nm@2400-5200rpm of torque.

Why WRX?
Symmetrical Force of Power
Our All-Wheel Drive philosophy
Greater balance and control. That’s the confidence you get from our unique Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive System, which delivers the drive distribution to all four wheels, all the time. Every Subaru WRX has an innate sense of balance from the ground up, thanks to a near perfect
symmetrical layout.
Boxing Clever
Our famous Subaru Boxer engine
While most engines stand vertically, ours lay flat. The famous Subaru Boxer engine delivers handling like no other engine can. Sitting horizontally in the engine bay, it moves like a boxer’s fists with a punch and counterpunch action. Lightweight, low and flat, it makes for perfect balance and a much lower centre of gravity. It creates less noise and vibration too. All of this means better on-road handling for you. More stability. More performance. More fun. And a more confident drive.
DataDotDNA®
Every Subaru is fitted with advanced engine immobilisers and the DataDotDNA®1 Theft Deterrent System. Microscopic dots are laseretched with each vehicle’s unique Vehicle Identification Number – making it a less attractive target for thieves.
Three Year Rebate on Theft Insurance Excess
DataDot Technology (Australia) Pty Ltd will pay your theft insurance excess2 (up to a maximum of $800 including GST) should your new Subaru be stolen and not recovered within 45 days, despite the presence of DataDotDNA®1 and warning labels.
Finest safety
5 star ANCAP safety across the range
With spirit, quality and imagination comes some serious safety
innovation. We want every Subaru to be amongst the safest cars
on the road. Engineered full of cutting-edge technologies and the
most intelligent design features. It’s not a Subaru unless it carries
the maximum 5 star ANCAP3 safety rating.
Eyes in the back of your head
Rear view reverse camera
Manoeuvring back into a tight side street? Family driveway littered
with toys? Reverse with confidence, thanks to our rear view reverse camera technology. The rear view reverse camera is like having eyes
in the back of your head. This greatly improves your visibility and reduces the risk of bumps and scrapes. Rear view reverse camera
standard on every Subaru WRX and WRX Premium.
Yet another world first
Lineartronic™ CVT
Pushing innovation beyond the bounds, we introduced an automatic transmission with no discernable steps or shifts. We called it Lineartronic™ CVT. And it’s the reason our automatic models drive so smooth. It’s the world’s first longitudinally mounted system for AWD vehicles. Unlike a conventional automatic transmission – which uses fixed gear ratios – our Lineartronic™ CVT provides infinite variability between the highest and lowest available gears. So you now experience a smooth gear change, into any optimum gear for
that moment. CVT available on Subaru WRX and WRX Premium.
Intelligently driven
Subaru Intelligent Drive
Heading to the shops? Taking on the Great Ocean Road?
Each situation deserves a distinctive driving mode, so we crafted Subaru Intelligent Drive (SI-Drive) technology standard on all Subaru WRX CVT variants to do just that. Switch from smart, to sporty to even sportier. Intelligent (I) mode – perfect for everyday driving, Sport (S) mode – for enhanced acceleration and all-round sporty performance
and Sport Sharp (S#) mode – for a truly thrilling drive.

Attitude outside, luxury inside
If you’re wielding 197kW of muscle car power inside iconic sports styling, you’re going to want luxury comfort. The leather1 steering wheel and gear shift gives you superior feel and control while sports bucket seats hug your body
– all trimmed with red stitching. The Subaru WRX Premium also offers heated front seats and black leather1 trim.
Set the soundtrack and make handsfree calls through the large intuitive touchscreen. A rear view reverse camera covers your rear just as satellite navigation on the WRX Premium keeps you heading in the right direction. Whatever you do, it’ll never be boring.
