What's New for '22?
Although much has yet to be revealed about the 2022 Subaru WRX, the folks at Subaru have clued fans in on a few details. In true WRX fashion, the new model will be standard with a 6-speed manual transmission as seen in Subaru’s latest social media videos teasing the new 2022 WRX. If a standard gearbox just isn’t your thing, have no fear as Subaru will have an optional Sport Lineartronic CVT automatic transmission available on all new WRX models. In typical Subaru fashion, the WRX will be only available with an all-wheel-drive system.
While Subaru hasn’t said anything regarding the engine beneath the ‘22 WRX’s hood, rumor has the ‘22 WRX receiving a beefed-up version of the Ascent’s 2.4L turbocharged Boxer engine. The Ascent, along with the Legacy and Outback all come equipped with a 2.4L turbocharged Boxer engine that currently produces 260 horsepower, although the ‘22 WRX will see more power output from that same engine if Subaru uses it. Keep an eye out for more info as the September 10th reveal date approaches, until then stop in at New Motors Subaru to talk about pre-ordering your 2022 WRX.
