2025 WRX: Upgrades, Performance, Features, Pricing and Design!
Posted on May 3, 2025
If you thought last year’s WRX was impressive, the 2025 model is here to raise the bar even higher. Known for its thrilling all-wheel-drive performance and motorsport-inspired design, the WRX returns with fresh updates that make it more connected, more confident, and more compelling than ever before.
Built for drivers who crave precision and control—no matter the weather—this year’s WRX keeps its rally DNA alive while offering new comforts and more innovative tech. Let’s explore what’s new for 2025 and why this high-performance sedan stands out on Canadian roads.
What’s Changed from the Previous Year?
The tS trim, described as “STI tuned,” features enhanced performance upgrades like Brembo brakes, stickier tires, electronically adjustable suspension dampers, and sporty Recaro seats. Choose bold colours like Ignition Red or World Rally Blue to make a statement on the road.
A Powerhouse Beneath the Hood
Under the hood, the WRX sticks with its tried-and-true 2.4-litre turbocharged SUBARU BOXER® engine. This setup delivers 271 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, paired with Subaru’s signature Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system for confident traction in any condition.
Drivers can decide between a six-speed manual transmission or Subaru’s advanced automatic transmission, both tuned for performance. The WRX grips the road with authority, whether it’s snow, gravel, or pavement.
Sharper Looks, Same WRX Attitude
The 2025 WRX keeps its aggressive stance and flared fenders but now offers new wheel designs and colour options that make it even more distinctive. Functional air vents and blacked-out accents add to its rally-inspired identity, while LED lighting front and back ensures clear visibility year-round.
This year’s WRX is bold, athletic, and unmistakably Subaru—with just the right touch of modern flair.
Comfort That Matches Performance
Inside, the WRX balances its sport-first vibe with comfort-focused details. The seats are well-bolstered and supportive, especially for spirited drives, and available ultrasuede-trimmed upholstery adds a premium feel.
The rear seat space remains practical, and the trunk is surprisingly roomy for a performance car—perfect for weekend trips across Ontario or hauling winter gear during ski season.
Tech That Keeps You In Control
Subaru’s latest infotainment system makes a big appearance here, featuring an available 11.6-inch vertical touchscreen that feels intuitive and modern. Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ now come standard, and select trims include navigation, real-time traffic updates, and integrated climate controls within the screen.
Audiophiles will appreciate the upgraded Harman Kardon® premium audio system, delivering crisp sound even at high speeds. USB-C charging ports have also been added, keeping all your devices powered on the go.
Award-Winning Safety and Reliability
Between 2022 and 2024, the Subaru WRX consistently earned praise for its performance and reliability. It received the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) 2024 TOP SAFETY PICK award and was recognized by J.D. Power for resale value and dependability. Subaru’s commitment to safety continues in 2025 with available EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology, now expanded to more trims.
Features include smart cruise control, pre-collision braking, lane departure warning, and more—keeping you protected while enjoying every twist and turn.
