What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Subaru WRX?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 82.2% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the history report carefully, because a sporty sedan like this can attract harder use than average. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that focuses on wear items, signs of modification, and evidence of rough ownership. Pay close attention to overall condition, since owner feedback mentions minor paint damage.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base trim uses a more unusual dual 7-inch screen setup, while premium-trim and higher models get the 11.6-inch tablet-style touchscreen. Base and Premium trims also miss the blind-spot monitoring, lane-change assist, and rear cross-traffic alert that appear on Limited and GT models.
• Powertrain: The WRX uses a 2.4-liter turbocharged Boxer four-cylinder with 271 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. All-wheel drive is standard, and you can choose a six-speed manual or a CVT.
• Safety package: EyeSight comes standard on CVT-equipped models and includes automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, lane-tracing assist, an electronic brake booster, and automatic steering assist. Manual models do not get EyeSight. Limited and GT trims add blind-spot monitoring, lane-change assist, and rear cross-traffic alert.
• Infotainment: Premium-trim and higher models get an 11.6-inch touchscreen. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are supported, and the system includes physical controls for climate, power and volume, tuning, and defrost functions.
• Fuel efficiency: Subaru says the WRX should return 19 mpg city, 26 highway, and 22 combined.

Which 2022 Subaru WRX trim should I buy?

The 2022 Subaru WRX is offered in 4 trim levels: base, Premium, Limited, and GT.

Here's the short version:

• base: This is the entry point if you want the WRX formula at the lowest cost, but it misses the larger touchscreen and the extra driver-assistance features found higher up.
• Premium: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds the more impressive 11.6-inch touchscreen and keeps the WRX’s core performance and all-wheel-drive appeal intact.
• Limited: Choose this if you want the added safety equipment, including blind-spot monitoring, lane-change assist, and rear cross-traffic alert.
• GT: This is the most specialized trim, with Recaro seats, electronically controlled dampers, and Drive Mode Select. It is CVT-only and aimed at buyers who want the most feature-rich setup.

Manual-transmission buyers should note that EyeSight is not available on the six-speed WRX, while CVT-equipped models get Subaru’s standard driver-assistance suite.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Subaru WRX?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you can shop carefully without expecting a deep bargain on every listing.

• Deal availability: 33.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,094 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.55% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 82.2% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $26,043, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2022 Subaru WRX's resale value?

The current average of $26,164 sits slightly below last year's $27,701.

That softer pricing suggests the market has become a bit more favorable for buyers, which can also mean future sellers may need to stay competitive on condition and mileage. If you buy well now, you may have a better chance of preserving value by keeping the car clean, stock, and well documented. The current inventory and deal mix also suggest the WRX still has active shopper interest.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.9/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2022 Subaru WRX safe?

The 2022 Subaru WRX earns a 5/10 safety score from our experts.

CVT-equipped models come standard with Subaru’s EyeSight suite, which includes automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, lane-tracing assist, an electronic brake booster, and automatic steering assist. Manual-transmission models do not get EyeSight, and that is an important safety gap to keep in mind. Limited and GT trims add blind-spot monitoring, lane-change assist, and rear cross-traffic alert.

The WRX also benefits from the Subaru Global Platform, which absorbs more energy in a crash than the previous architecture, and it comes standard with seven airbags, including a driver’s-side knee airbag.

Should I buy a 2022 Subaru WRX or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2022 if:

• 33.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 82.2% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.55% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.9/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It sharpens the WRX formula with better powertrain, suspension, and technology.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $22,905, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $26,164 average.
• It emphasizes everyday engagement with standard all-wheel drive and brisk acceleration.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $28,467, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $26,164 average.
• It carries over the same generation with no major changes.

The bottom line: If you want the most refined version of this generation’s WRX formula, the 2022 is the better target. If your priority is spending less, the 2021 is the smarter value play, while the 2023 makes sense only if you find a cleaner example or a better-equipped listing.
