You won’t find anything on a street, track, or muddy back road like the 2023 Subaru WRX all-wheel drive sports car. Built on decades of championship motorsport engineering, the WRX features our legendary Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, a powerful turbocharged SUBARU BOXER® engine, track-tuned suspension, advanced technology, and loads of rally-inspired style.
Rally and Motorsport DNA
The 2023 WRX was born out of rally heritage and inspired by generations of Subaru rally cars that have carried Subaru Motorsports USA to 15 United States national rally championships, including the 2021 American Rally Association overall title and the inaugural Nitro Rallycross championship in 2021.
Rally and Motorsport DNA
One of the core performance features of the WRX has always been Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. A balanced, time-tested design refined through decades of rally experience, it creates uniform stability and delivers an optimal distribution of power for maximum traction on all types of surfaces. It’s the all-wheel drive sports car that can handle everything from the track to the street to your favorite stretch of twisty dirt road.

With its razor-sharp precision handling, you can make the most out of every corner in the 2023 WRX. It’s all thanks to its track-tuned suspension that features motorsport-inspired engineering like a rear anti-roll bar mounted directly to the chassis for increased roll control and improved ride as well as a rigid chassis and high-performance summer tires. With the WRX GT trim, you can even change your handling at the touch of a button with its electronically adjustable dampers.

Every part of the WRX cockpit is designed for comfortable, confident high-performance driving, and the D-shaped steering wheel is its centerpiece. With its excellent weight and feel, it gives you ergonomic control and near-instant response from the lightning-quick 13.5:1-ratio dual-pinion steering.
