Based off on the Subaru Impreza, the WRX is one the brand’s heritage models. Originally designed for the 1992 World Rally Championship, over the years, it has turned into an accessible sport compact car. Of which owners can enjoy the thrill, power and agility of high-performance driving on everyday roads, outside of race tracks.

The WRX boasts of 2.4L direct-injection turbo engine, an ample torque, and the SI-DRIVE performance transmission which achieves sporty driving beyond expectation through the new powerful engine and a quick, direct shift feel. Not to mention, highly comfortable for daily use, as it is equipped with an “all-around safety” concept. This encompasses quick detect danger, safety on highway or dirt track, a collision-safe body, and eCall or SOS switch. These create the sporty space expected of a WRX—showing style on the road and safety on the go.

The latest iteration of the WRX, along with this limited-time-only offer, can be had in all accredited Subaru dealerships nationwide (complete list can be found in the website).

“The WRX has always had a special place in the hearts of every Subarist. To many, it is even considered as a ‘dream ride’. Which is why we wish to make it a memorable experience for them as they drive one home," says Karl Castillo, MIPI Country Manager. “This May, we are offering an STI parts and accessories package, without additional cost, to all our new WRX customers. Furthermore, new WRX STI buyers will have 20% discount offer on PMS parts for two years.”
