Now open for pre-sales indent bookings – be among the first in Vietnam to own the all-new, fifth-generation legendary WRX and WRX Wagon.


WRX EXTERIOR
The Shape

Subaru’s modern design philosophy “Dynamic x Solid” has been enhanced to also express “Bolder”, guiding the complete redesign of the WRX in both notchback-sedan and station-wagon bodystyles.


Both models are built on the newest iteration of the Subaru Global Platform, with full inner frame construction and expanded application of structural adhesive to greatly improve the car’s rigidity, a bedrock of performance driving capability.


The Style

The styling of the new WRX and WRX Wagon was previewed by a pair of stunning Subaru concept cars – the Viziv Performance Concept and the Viziv Tourer Concept.


The front has been designed to give the impression of overwhelming performance at a glance. The classic WRX trademark, a functional scoop cut into the hood, is present and accounted for, feeding fresh air to the intercooler of the turbocharged boxer engine.


Following the sports theme perfectly are the 18-inch aluminium-alloy wheels with 245/40 R18 high-performance tyres and two pairs of exhaust tailpipes.


Even though the WRX and WRX Wagon are cut from the same Japanese cloth, the two cars clearly differ in their design direction.


Design differences between the WRX and WRX Wagon include the sedan’s dramatic black claddings, more elaborate main grille, and four muffler tailpipes instead of two. The WRX Wagon also rides on less aggressive 225/45 R18 tyres.


The Aerodynamics

The airflow around and below the WRX is cleverly controlled to ensure stability on the move, reduce air resistance and perfect the front-rear balance of the whole vehicle, especially at higher speeds where turbulence can be a challenge for fast cars.


The most noticeable aero measures on the bodywork of the WRX are the side sill spoilers and rear spoiler, along with the air outlets behind the front fenders and on the outer corners of the rear bumper. Also assisting with this are the air slits at the forward edge of the front wheel arches.


Subaru’s attention to detail for the sake of aerodynamics with the other positive contributors to the excellent aerodynamics of the WRX include its engine under-cover (enlarged and reshaped), door mirrors (redesigned to minimise wind noise) and A-pillars (whose leading edges have been optimised to smoothen their interruption of the airflow).


WRX PERFORMANCE


The Powertrain

At the heart of the high performance is Subaru’s turbocharged FA24 boxer engine, uniquely tuned for the hot new WRX. The 2.4-litre horizontally-opposed 4-cylinder, 16-valve direct-injection unit has been engineered to provide exceptional driving enjoyment, on road and track alike.


The new boxer motor produces 275 PS at 5600 rpm and 350 Nm at 2000-5200 rpm. It provides ample torque from low crankshaft speeds and vigorous acceleration across the rev range, with the powerful output tapering moderately as the tachometer needle approaches the 6100 rpm redline.


Two transmissions are available for the WRX. The sedan variant gets a choice of hardcore 6-speed manual or souped-up “8-speed” Lineartronic CVT, while the wagon variant, in keeping with its supercruiser character, is only available as an automatic.


The Running Gear

With the Subaru Global Platform as the foundation for sportiness, the new-gen WRX promises to be a supremely capable yet surprisingly comfortable sports car. A thrilling drive doesn’t have to be tiring in this case.


Besides, the sport-tuned suspension features geometry optimised for great control and good comfort over all kinds of roads.


WRX PRACTICALITY
The Sporty Cockpit

This is the classiest and comfiest WRX cabin ever, without forgoing the essential elements of a sporty cockpit meant to meet the need for speed behind the wheel.


The inner circumference of the wheel now has a flat area for better grip by the driver’s hands, the leather wrap has racy red stitching, and there is a carbon-effect “WRX” ornament decorating the central spoke.


The instrument cluster adopts a classic two-gauge layout, with the tachometer on the left and the speedometer on the right. Between the meters is a 4.2-inch high-res LCD combination display for crucial driving-related information.


Drivers will also love the leather-wrapped transmission shift knob and rubber-studded aluminium pedals, particularly those who swear by the 6-speed manual gearbox. The driver’s seat is ultra-supportive and includes 10-way power adjustment in the auto variants.


The Premium Cabin

The most upscale feature in the new WRX is its 11.6-inch touchscreen display, which centralises and manages the infotainment, climate control, vehicle settings and other important functions in a user-friendly manner. This new-age Subaru system is also used to great effect in the regional flagship model, Outback.


Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, voice recognition and front dual USB ports are ready to connect you and your personal devices to the onboard infotainment of the WRX.


The Sensible Space

The interior packaging differs between the two new WRX bodystyles, with the wagon variant rightly prioritising cargo loadspace.


The trunk of the WRX has a useful volume of 414 litres (VDA measurement) and a shape that can accommodate outsize items such as a pair of golf bags, two pieces of large luggage, a stroller or a folding bicycle. The 60:40 split-fold backseat provides added versatility.


Naturally, the WRX Wagon is the more versatile vehicle. Its cargo capacity of 492 litres, expandable to a maximum of 1430 litres by folding down the entire 40:20:40 split-fold backseat, is comparable to the spacious Forester SUV boot.


The Reassuring Safety

The WRX CVT variants are equipped with EyeSight version 4, Subaru’s unique Driver Assist Technology that relies on innovative stereo cameras. Significant improvements to the hardware and software make this state-of-the-art safety system even more helpful as an attentive “co-driver”. Subaru EyeSight version 4, complete with EyeSight Assist Monitor, makes driving easier and safer with its extended suite of functions:


  • Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering Function
  • Pre-Collision Braking with Autonomous Emergency Steering
  • Pre-Collision Throttle Management
  • Lane Departure Warning with Lane Departure Prevention
  • Lane Sway Warning
  • Lead Vehicle Start Alert

Another major safety upgrade for the new WRX series is Subaru’s Driver Monitoring System (DMS), which uses an infrared camera to detect whether the driver is distracted or tired/sleepy/drowsy while the car is being driven, and promptly alerts him or her.


Other WRX advanced safety features include an array of airbags, a Ring-shaped Reinforcement Frame, Steering Responsive Headlights and a rear view camera, with the WRX CVT variants adding High Beam Assist, Reverse Automatic Braking and Subaru Rear Vehicle Detection.


The top-spec The WRX Wagon 2.4 CVT tS EyeSight

This variant is fully realise their high-performance potential with Drive Mode Select.


Electronically controlled dampers with accelerometer sensors and a dedicated ECU (electronic control unit) are the basis for the system, which is connected to the WRX’s modules for SI-Drive, steering, Variable Torque Distribution and EyeSight Adaptive Cruise Control (adjusting the ACC acceleration characteristic – Eco (gently but slowly), Comfort (smoothly), Standard (normally) or Dynamic (aggressively). The selected Drive Mode, therefore, also activates the relevant settings for these other systems.


The dedicated [MODE] button on the steering wheel puts Drive Mode Select at the driver’s fingertips and toggles between Comfort, Normal, Sport, Sport+ and Individual modes. The last mode lets the driver customise his or her own settings and save them for activation anytime.


The different Drive Modes change the driving character of the WRX Wagon tS most noticeably by adjusting the damping force, which can vary between Comfort, Normal, and Sport.


The most extreme Drive Mode Sport+ triggers the firmest ride, the sharpest throttle response (S#) and the most resolute cornering attitude. In other words, this is the best WRX tS configuration for “drive it like you stole it” scenarios.


Other equipment specific to the WRX Wagon tS variants also includes a power rear gate with Outback-style hands-free operation (put a hand or elbow near the rear Subaru emblem to open the tailgate, and an “STI” logo on the steering wheel, illuminated red meter rings, and “tS” badging on the boot lid.


Compared to the WRX GT-S Wagon, the WRX tS Wagon adds chrome trim on the front bumper lip, features a different 18-inch wheel design and sports large muffler cutters for the twin exhaust tailpipes to leverage the style of a classy sports tourer.
