Engine Power
The first thing you'll naturally want to know about when you start looking for your next vehicle is how much power is under the hood. The 2022 Subaru WRX is equipped with the 2.4L turbocharged SUBARU BOXER® engine.
This powertrain is standard on all four trims and offers 271 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. Pair this with a fuel economy of an EPA-estimated 19 city/26 highway and a 16.6-gallon fuel tank, and you're ready for all the adventures life has to offer.*
When it comes to the drivetrain-which wheels the engine power goes to-you'll have Subaru's exclusive Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, which means power is split evenly between the front and rear axles.
Interior Amenities
Of course, you don't spend most of your drives cuddling up on the engine block, you spend it settled in the driver's seat with a copilot at your side and passengers in the back. To make sure the Subaru WRX has enough room for you and your carpool friends, the chart below outlines its interior dimensions.
| Headroom | Shoulder Room | Hip Room | Legroom |
Front | 39.8 Inches | 56.7 Inches | 54.1 Inches | 43.1 Inches |
Rear | 36.7 Inches | 55.6 Inches | 49.3 Inches | 36.5 Inches |
You'll also have 12.5 cubic feet of cargo room for suitcases and backpacks if you're going out of town.
But what about the soundtrack to your morning drive? The Subaru WRX comes standard with a 7-inch touchscreen system. The STARLINK® Multimedia infotainment system comes packaged with:
- Apple CarPlay®
- Android Auto™
- Bluetooth streaming
You can also upgrade to an 11.6-inch screen, as well as an integrated navigation system, if you prefer.
Safety Features
Of course, the most important set of features you want to consider are the ones designed to help keep you and your passengers safe. You can outfit your Subaru WRX with the Eyesight Driver Assist Technology suite, which includes features like:
- Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering
- Pre-Collision Braking
- Lane Departure Warning
- Sway Warning with Lane Keep Assist
If you're considering upgrading, consider choosing a trim that offers Blind-Spot Detection with Lane Change Assist and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert. This feature will help on those busy rush-hour mornings by notifying you of another vehicle in your blind spot while you're getting ready to shift lanes.
Driving at night? If so, then you'll be glad to know this car comes standard with High Beam Assist. This handy feature automatically turns on your high beams when the road ahead is clear, then returns to normal beams when another car approaches.
