Why it stands out

The 2023 Subaru WRX stands out as a rally-inspired sport sedan that has grown up after two decades on sale in the United States. Its roots trace back to the 1990s as a homologation special for the World Rally Championship, and Subaru used the WRX to showcase its all-wheel drive vehicles. That heritage still gives the car a distinctive identity, and it has helped make the WRX a long-running favorite among enthusiasts.

For 2023, there are no changes to report, since the current fourth-generation WRX was introduced for the 2022 model year. The lineup includes base, Premium, Limited, and GT trim levels. What makes the 2023 Subaru WRX appealing is the combination of stylish design, great handling, and the availability of a manual transmission, which keeps it firmly in the driver-focused camp.

At the same time, it is not without drawbacks. The technology can be unintuitive, it is described as poor value for money, and it offers less cargo space than rivals. Even so, the 2023 Subaru WRX remains distinctive because it blends everyday usability with a performance character that is deeply tied to Subaru’s rally history.
