Introducing the all-new Subaru WRX! It's the quintessential compact sportscar, completely redesigned and entirely reengineered for the new model year. There’s some familiarity here: the Subaru Symmetrical Full-Time AWD system, the 4-door configuration and the trunk, all helping create unmatched daily driveability. But everything else is new: a higher-performing turbocharged SUBARU BOXER engine, new transmissions including the first-ever Subaru Performance Transmission (SPT) automatic, an aggressive new exterior design and a more driver-focused cockpit. Over the past 30 years, the Subaru WRX has become an absolute legend among driving enthusiasts around the world for its all-road/all-weather capability, superior quality, capability, and reliability. The all-new WRX has what it takes to add to the legend.

The all-new redesigned 2022 Subaru WRX is the uncommon sportscar powered by some of the most advanced automotive technologies in the world, including Subaru Symmetrical Full-Time AWD (for uncontested control) and a new turbocharged SUBARU BOXER engine (for increased response). Built on the Subaru Global Platform for the first time, the new WRX is also stronger with a chassis more resistant to twisting forces, so it’s more stable and sharper handling than ever. Long story short, this is the WRX you know, now taken to exciting new levels of performance.

Exclusive to the WRX, the new Subaru Performance Transmission (SPT) is paired with a variable torque distribution (VTD) AWD system that sends slightly more power to the back wheels, creating a sporty driving feel. The transmission also features a new shift lever, an 8-step manual mode, paddle shifters and automatic throttle blipping for quicker downshifts. Linked to the driver-selectable SI-DRIVE engine management system for increased control and featuring an air-cooled transmission oil cooler, the SPT delivers superior performance and incredible efficiency, all in one.

So will you go for a manual 6-speed or an SPT? ( Subaru does not want you to call it a CVT! ) Check out our review of the Subaru WRX video to find out why Brian from @EverydayReviews2022 will go for the SPT and why Math will stick to the good old 6-speed!
