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)?!

Redapple2 I gave up on Honda. My 09 Accord Vs my 03. The 09s- V 6 had a slight shudder when deactivating cylinders. And the 09 did not have the 03 's electro luminescent gages. And the 09 had the most uncomfortable seats. My brother bought his 3rd and last Honda CRV. Brutal seats after 25 minutes. NOW, We are forever Toyota, Lexus, Subaru people now despite HAVING ACCESS TO gm EMPLOYEE DISCOUNT. Despite having access to the gm employee discount. Man, that is a massive statement. Wow that s bad - Under no circumstances will I have that govna crap.
Redapple2 Front tag obscured. Rear tag - clear and sharp. Huh?
Redapple2 I can state what NOT to buy. HK. High theft. Insurance. Unrefined NVH. Rapidly degrading interiors. HK? No way !
Luke42 Serious answer:Now that I DD an EV, buying an EV to replace my wife’s Honda Civic is in the queue. My wife likes her Honda, she likes Apple CarPlay, and she can’t stand Elon Musk - so Tesla starts the competition with two demerit-points and Honda starts the competition with one merit-point.The Honda Prologue looked like a great candidate until Honda announced that the partnership with GM was a one-off thing and that their future EVs would be designed in-house.Now I’m more inclined toward the Blazer EV, the vehicle on which the Prologue is based. The Blazer EV and the Ultium platform won’t be orphaned by GM any time soon. But then I have to convince my wife she would like it better than her Honda Civic, and that’s a heavy lift because she doesn’t have any reason to be dissatisfied with her current car (I take care of all of the ICE-hassles for her).Since my wife’s Honda Civic is holding up well, since she likes the car, and since I take care of most of the drawbacks of drawbacks of ICE ownership for her, there’s no urgency to replace this vehicle.Honestly, if a paid-off Honda Civic is my wife’s automotive hill to die on, that’s a pretty good place to be - even though I personally have to continue dealing the hassles and expenses of ICE ownership on her behalf.My plan is simply to wait-and-see what Honda does next. Maybe they’ll introduce the perfect EV for her one day, and I’ll just go buy it.
2ACL I have a soft spot for high-performance, shark-nosed Lancers (I considered the less-potent Ralliart during the period in which I eventually selected my first TL SH-AWD), but it's can be challenging to find a specimen that doesn't exhibit signs of abuse, and while most of the components are sufficiently universal in their function to service without manufacturer support, the SST isn't one of them. The shops that specialize in it are familiar with the failure as described by the seller and thus might be able to fix this one at a substantial savings to replacement. There's only a handful of them in the nation, however. A salvaged unit is another option, but the usual risks are magnified by similar logistical challenges to trying to save the original.I hope this is a case of the seller overvaluing the Evo market rather than still owing or having put the mods on credit. Because the best offer won't be anywhere near the current listing.
