Powers, Performance: Boxer Engines Provide Thrills
The 2026 Subaru WRX Series. Yellow under the hood is a powerhouse with a 2.4-litre turbocharged SUBARU BOXER that delivers a healthy 271 horsepower and 258lb-ft of torque. Combined with a single six-speed manual transmission and with the hallmark of the Subaru brand, the Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, this combination provides rocket-like acceleration and tenacious stickiness, whether in the canyons or through the snowy backcountry.
Adjustable dampers controlled electronically and adjusted by STI engineers with components from Hitachi enable the drivers to adjust the suspension to be more comfortable on the street or track aggressively.

Posh but Not Stylish Interiors: Yellow Accentuation All Over

The WRX is a technologically advanced cottage inside, and the interior is adorned with an 11.6-inch Subaru Starlink Multimedia system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, showing customizable performance information.
The Recaro Performance Design front seats, which are bolstered to support the driver during spirited drives, are upholstered in black Alcantara with yellow piping, offering a high-quality feel without excessive weight. The interior of the BRZ is more minimalist, with seats made of black cloth (or optional leather) featuring yellow stitching on the steering wheel, shifter boot, and parking brake.
