Why it stands out

The 2025 Subaru WRX stands out because it keeps the formula that made the name famous: a turbocharged engine, standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, and a focus on driving enthusiasm. It is also a sedan only, which gives it a more straightforward, performance-oriented identity. For buyers who want a practical car with rally-bred character, that combination remains the WRX’s biggest appeal.

For 2025, the WRX lineup includes the WRX, WRX Premium, WRX Limited, WRX GT, and WRX tS trim levels. The WRX GT adds adaptive dampers and Drive Mode Select, while the WRX tS brings STI-tuned suspension and steering upgrades. The model also offers a six-speed manual transmission or the Subaru Performance Transmission with paddle shifters, and all WRX models include Subaru’s Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive as standard. Fuel economy is not a strong point, with manual-transmission models rated at 19 mpg city, 25 mpg highway, and 22 mpg combined, while CVT-equipped versions are rated at 19 mpg city, 26 mpg highway, and 21 mpg combined.

The cabin and feature set vary widely by trim, which helps the WRX cover a broad range of buyers. The Base trim includes LED headlights, automatic climate control, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, two seven-inch touchscreens, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and six-speaker audio. Higher trims add conveniences such as heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, an 11.6-inch touchscreen, adaptive headlights, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, faux leather seats with microsuede inserts, a sunroof, and a blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert. At the same time, the WRX still has drawbacks that shoppers should weigh, including outdated technology and poor fuel economy.
