A Championship Pedigree
Racing has always been the ultimate test of vehicle engineering and driver skill, and rally is racing’s toughest crucible. With challenging routes on and off real public roads that mix multiple types of surfaces with arduous climbs and daunting corners, rally demands relentless traction, precise control, and plenty of power. In other words, the perfect match for Subaru performance engineering and Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. The 2022 WRX was born out of rally and inspired by generations of Subaru rally cars, which have carried Subaru Motorsports USA to 14 of the last 15 U.S. National Rally Championship titles, a rallycross championship in 2019, and the American Rally Association Overall Championship for 2021.
Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive for Tenacious Grip
One of the core performance features of the WRX has always been Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. A balanced, time-tested design refined through decades of rally experience, it creates uniform stability and delivers an optimal distribution of power for maximum traction on all types of surfaces – from the track to the street to your favorite stretch of twisty dirt road.

Reengineered Track-Tuned Suspension
The 2022 WRX pushes its razor-sharp handling even further with its reengineered suspension. New for 2022, the rear anti-roll bar is now mounted directly to the chassis to provide increased roll control and improved ride. Cornering, steering balance, and stability are all enhanced thanks to upgraded dampers, a stiffer chassis, and high-performance summer tires. The newly available GT trim raises the handling bar even higher with electronically adjustable dampers, allowing driver-controlled changes at the touch of a button.

D-Shaped Steering Wheel
Every part of the 2022 WRX cockpit is designed for comfortable, confident high-performance driving, and the D-shaped steering wheel is its centerpiece. With its excellent weight and feel, it gives you ergonomic control and near-instant response from the lightning-quick 13.5:1-ratio dual-pinion steering.

Aggressive, Rally-Inspired Design
With its dramatically flared fenders with functional air vents, a menacing front grille, and athletic stance, the all-new 2022 WRX wears its rally heritage on its sleeve. Our engineers drew upon decades of motorsport experience to both tune the performance features and shape the bold exterior design, referencing its racing history while creating the next evolution of the WRX.

The WRX is built to deliver miles and miles of high-performance excitement – 96% of Subaru WRX vehicles sold in the last 10 years are still on the road today, more than Honda Civic Si or Volkswagen GTI[5].
EyeSight Driver Assist Technology
EyeSight Driver Assist Technology[9], monitors traffic movement, optimizes cruise control, and warns you when you're swaying outside your lane[10]. The automatic Pre-Collision Braking feature can even apply full braking force and bring you to a complete stop in emergency situations[11]. Automatic Emergency Steering can help you avoid a collision by providing automatic steering and pre-collision braking support if it determines there’s enough space to intervene[12]. Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering[10] can take some of the stress out of driving by helping with steering, braking, and throttle control – both in daily traffic and on long road trips.
