Why it stands out

The 2019 Subaru WRX stands out as a practical sports sedan with rally roots, standard all-wheel drive, and a turbocharged Boxer engine. It also benefits from the fourth-generation redesign’s added interior space, better fuel efficiency, and stiffer chassis, which helped make the car more refined without losing its enthusiast focus. For buyers, that combination of everyday usability and performance character is a big part of the WRX’s appeal.

For 2019, the WRX also picked up a Series.Gray edition, while push-button start became standard on the WRX STI and that model’s output rose from 305 hp to 310 hp. The WRX itself was offered with a six-speed manual or a CVT, and Subaru’s Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive remained standard. At the same time, the car’s drawbacks are worth noting: the guide calls out outdated technology, poor fuel economy, and a cramped back seat in older models, so the WRX’s strengths are best understood as part of a focused, driver-first package rather than a luxury-oriented one.
