Decades of championship rally engineering have led to this: the all-new 2022 Subaru WRX. Featuring a new, more powerful turbocharged SUBARU BOXER engine, an upgraded track-tuned suspension, the legendary grip of Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, and a resculpted, athletic exterior, the 2022 WRX is here to set the standard of motorsport-inspired performance for a new era.
Rally and Motorsport DNA
Racing has always been the ultimate test of vehicle engineering and driver skill, and rally is the ultimate form of racing. With challenging routes on and off real public roads that mix multiple types of surfaces with arduous climbs and daunting corners, rally demands relentless traction, precise control, and plenty of power. In other words, the perfect match for Subaru performance engineering and Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. The 2022 WRX was born out of rally heritage and inspired by generations of Subaru rally cars, which have carried Subaru Motorsports USA to 14 of the last 16 U.S. national rally championships including the 2021 American Rally Association overall title, as well as 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 – from the track to the street to your favorite stretch of twisty dirt road.
Standard on: All WRX models
Rally and Motorsport DNA
The 2022 WRX pushes its razor-sharp handling even further with its reengineered suspension. New for 2022, the rear anti-roll bar is now mounted directly to the chassis to provide increased roll control and improved ride. Cornering, steering balance, and stability are all enhanced thanks to upgraded dampers, a stiffer chassis, and high-performance summer tires. The newly available GT trim raises the handling bar even higher with electronically adjustable dampers, allowing driver-controlled changes at the touch of a button.
Rally and Motorsport DNA
Every part of the 2022 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.
