The Subaru WRX is one of the most popular brands from the company. It is a speed-oriented machine whose superiority lies in the fact that it can go fast over any terrain, be it asphalt, gravel, snow, sand or salt! Users can use the WRX as a daily commute too, and this vehicle is almost as practical as any other decent sedan in the price bracket!
The WRX STI is a supped up version of the Subaru Impreza, which features some of the basic functionalities of the WRX. Subaru claims that the upcoming WRX will be sportier than its predecessors but will pack in the practicality of the Impreza. The vehicle is available as a sedan only as the hatchback variant has been removed.
The 2015 Subaru WRX is based on a 104.3-inch wheelbase and is 180.9-inch long. The chassis has been stiffened along with the suspension, aiding high-speed cruising. The suspension can be adjusted electronically to get the vehicle accustomed to the surrounding landscape. Hence, the drivers can opt for a softer suspension setting when speeding off road.
The four-cylinder 2.0-liter engine block is responsive and powerful enough to help the WRX STI glide over most surfaces. Subaru has enhanced the steering and chassis stiffness too and this further enhances performance. Subaru has designed the 2015 WRX as a sedan, and this is evident from the amount of interior space available.
Subaru has installed an eight-way power driver’s seat, which is easily accessible and can be adjusted on two levels from the front and rear end. Steering-wheel mounted buttons give the driver better control over the infotainment measures installed in the vehicle. Additional leg and head space have been added for practicality and comfort on long drives.
A 6-inch screen is placed on the dash, which also doubles as a map. However, do not be fooled by the commuter-friendly features present on the vehicle, as the 2015 Subaru WRX is every bit a racecar and the interior seconds this petition. The all-black leather interior is not too flashy, which is carried forward to the steering wheel as well.
Subaru claims that the 2015 WRX returns 22.6 MPG on an average within the city limits, which is quite an achievement, considering the competitors in the class. Subaru will retain their manual transmission system on this vehicle, along with an automated transmission system, which is guaranteed to bring out the driver in you.
