2018 Subaru WRX Review

 

Welcome to the 2018 Subaru WRX. When you're looking for a car that's equipped to make you feel like the road is your speedway (with caution, of course), this Subaru model is your new best friend.

Whether you're cruising around Wakefield, Reading, or Danvers, our team at Ira Subaru wanted to give you all the details of the 2018 Subaru WRX. In this review, we'll go over interior features, technology in entertainment and safety, engine options, and fuel economy. 

Let's get started by checking out the engine options of the 2018 Subaru WRX…

Drivers, Start Your Engines

When you get behind the wheel of the 2018 Subaru WRX, you might be looking for a helmet to start your new racer. Just kidding. But the Subaru WRX does have that race car driver feel, with a base 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder engine that puts out 268 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque.

Opt for the STI trim, and you'll get a 2.5L turbocharged engine that produces 305 horsepower and 290 lb-ft of torque. However, you'll get awesome acceleration with the base engine, going from 0-60 in 5.4 seconds.

The Subaru WRX doesn't lack in fuel economy, either, just because of its awesome power. You'll get an EPA-estimated combined 23 MPG with the base model, and an EPA-estimated combined 19 MPG in the STI trim, so with either choice, you'll still be just fine zipping to the city and back.
