The 2026 Subaru WRX doesn’t just look fast. It backs it up with rally-bred engineering that you can feel the moment you drop it into first gear. With a turbocharged BOXER® engine, Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive®, and a track-tuned suspension all working together, this is a sedan that takes its performance credentials seriously.
Power That Responds When You Need It
Under the hood sits a 2.4-liter turbocharged BOXER® engine putting out 271 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, with peak torque arriving at just 2,000 rpm. That low-end grunt means you’re not waiting around for the turbo to wake up. You get to choose how that power reaches your hands: a standard 6-speed manual with optimized gear ratios, or the Subaru Performance Transmission (SPT) with adaptive shift control and rev-matching downshifts.
Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive® Enhances Control
This is the backbone of every Subaru WRX. Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive® delivers balanced traction across all four wheels, refined through decades of rally competition. Pair that with Active Torque Vectoring, which helps the Subaru WRX rotate through turns, and you’ve got a sedan that pulls itself through corners with real confidence.
Track-Tuned Without the Trade-Offs
The suspension setup is motorsport-inspired from the factory, with a chassis-mounted rear anti-roll bar for tight body control. Drivers looking for more adjustability can step up to the Subaru WRX tS, which adds STI-tuned electronically controlled dampers and Brembo® brakes with six-piston front calipers. Standard EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology across every trim means the performance comes wrapped in serious safety, too.
