The Subaru WRX is a turbocharged performance sedan built for drivers who want thrilling power, rally-bred handling, and four-door practicality. Choose the WRX if you crave acceleration, responsive steering, and the thrill of truly engaged driving-without giving up a functional family car.

**What makes it special:**
With a turbocharged engine delivering spirited performance and Subaru's standard all-wheel drive keeping power planted, the WRX hunts corners and launches hard. It's a genuine daily driver that doubles as a weekend warrior. Aggressive styling, sport-tuned suspension, and purposeful engineering announce your passion for driving.
