subaru prices 2024 wrx five trims available

Adding the nesting doll approach more than one brand is taking with certain examples of their wares, Subaru will offer the 2024 WRX in no fewer than five different trims. This phenomenon of expanding the line of what used to constitute a single trim isn’t unique to the Exploding Galaxy – witness the VW GTI, for starters.

In any event, it’ll now cost ya $32,735 to get in the door of a WRX, up from $30,605 last year. Thanks, inflation.

That’s for the base WRX, a trim denuded of any suffix whatsoever. It has gear like the 11.6-inch infotainment touchscreen with CarPlay, basic gear such as LED headlamps, and rocks a six-speed manual as its sole transmission option. An extra $1,900 admits buyers to the Premium trim, showing up with better wheels, heated surfaces, push-button start, and an appropriate number of charging ports. Yes, that matters these days. Neighbors will be able to tell the difference thanks to the rear spoiler. A further $1,865 brings a Harman Kardon sound system and sunroof.

Limited trims and their fancy seats start at $39,015 for the stick and $40,565 for the why-bother automatic transmission. The revived TR trim, which is now positioned near the top of the WRX trim walk instead of at its lower end is $41,655 but is equipped with suede(ish) Recaros, a better braking system, stiffer springs, and retuned steering rack. Sticky rubber in the form of Bridgestone Potenza S007 summer tires will be on 19-inch wheels on this stick-only trim. Finally, the slightly weird $44,215 GT trim is automatic-only with power-adjustable Recaros and a suspension with selectable settings. None of those prices include $1,120 in destination and delivery.

All WRX models have a 2.4-liter turbocharged boxer-style four banger under its hood, making 271 horsepower at 5,600 rpm and 258 lb-ft of torque starting at 2,000 rpm all the way up to just over five grand. All-wheel drive is standard, naturally. We obviously recommend the six-speed manual in a car like this, lap times be damned, instead of the so-called Subaru Performance Transmission which is just a CVT by any other name.

The 2024 Subaru WRX will arrive at retailers in early 2024.

Case is getting a little stronger that a few of the one-note trolls really might be part of the internal TTAC family...say something or call them out on some BS and the comments get deleted in less than a few minutes. That wouldn't happen unless someone was watching and quickly deleting...mmm? Troll for clicks. Mighty low guys.

  I highly doubt any one of us is doing any trolling (and I could find out). We're just more on top of moderating comments now that we're more familiar with this new-ish system.

  There were some comments here where I wasn't confrontational, but when some of the trollish among the comment section tends to make certain comments, well, I tend to respect those more who can back up their words with proof. And the best comment threads on this site are among those who are more educated among cars (or life in general) and have the experience and proof to add something new. And then the Kia-bot, happy sunshine Tassos, and the master of one sentence snark (who I am fairly sure is Posky having fun) who comes out of the woodwork when "EV," "electric," or "Biden" is anywhere present and does his best to shut things down if he doesn't like the flow of things. There's some good car people on this site - on both ends of the computer. Don't let it get torn down by trolls.

  Complain and complain and complain all day long. Go figure, given that suppository you "race".

KInda the only option in it's price range and class with AWD, which for some, is essential for a one car approach.

Why must I accept the undesirable-to-me sunroof in order to get the mandatory H/K stereo (mandatory due to WRX road noise levels)?!

FreedMike Not my favorite car design, but that blue color is outstanding.
Lorenzo Car racing is dying, and with it my interest. Midget/micro racing was my last interest in car racing, and now sanctioning body bureaucrats are killing it off too. The more organized it is, the less interesting it becomes.
Lorenzo Soon, the rental car lots will be filled with Kia's as far as the eye can see!
Lorenzo You can't sell an old man's car to a young man, but you CAN sell a young man's car to an old man (pardon the sexism, it's not my quote).Solution: Young man styling, but old man amenities, hidden if necessary, like easier entry/exit (young men gradually turn into old men, and will appreciate them).
Wjtinfwb Hmmm. Given that most Ford designs are doing relatively well in the marketplace, if this was forced I'd bet it was over the S650 Mustang. It's not a bad looking car but some angles seem very derivative of other makes, never a good trait for a car as distinctive as Mustang. And if he had anything to do with the abysmal dashboard, that's reason enough. Mustang doesn't need the "Tokyo by Night" dash arrangement of a more boring car. Analog gauges, a screen big enough for GPS, not Netflix and some decent quality plastics is plenty. The current set-up would be enough to dissuade me from considering a new Mustang.
