Subaru Symmetrical AWD for Tenacious Grip

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.

Standard Track-Tuned Suspension

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.

A Connected Performance Environment

EyeSight^® Driver Assist Technology

EyeSight Driver Assist Technology monitors traffic movement, optimizes cruise control, and warns you when you're swaying outside your lane. The automatic Pre-Collision Braking feature can even apply full braking force and bring you to a complete stop in emergency situations. Automatic Emergency Steering can help you avoid a collision by providing automatic steering and pre-collision braking support if it determines there’s enough space to intervene. Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering can take some of the stress out of driving by helping with steering, braking, and throttle control – both in daily traffic and on long road trips.
