2017 Subaru WRX STI
Subaru USA announced the pricing of the
2017 WRX and WRX STI models, along with the small revisions in their equipment
levels.
The biggest difference for the MY2017 is
the addition of the Blind Spot Detection and Rear Cross Traffic Alert features.
The 2017 WRX is still powered by the
turbocharged 268 hp 2.0-litre flat-four with direct injection and will be
available in the same three trim levels –standard, Premium and Limited. Prices
start at an MSRP of US$ 26,695 which represents a US$ 100 hike over the previous
model.
Subaru’s EyeSight Driver Assist
Technology is also offered in the WRX, integrated with features like Adaptive
Cruise Control, Pre-Collision Braking and Lane Departure warning.
The 305 hp STI versions continue to offer
exclusive performance features including Active Torque Vectoring, Multi-Mode
Vehicle Dynamics Control and a Brembo brake system, starting at an MSRP of US$ 35,195.
And let’s not forget the company’s
Starlink infotainment systems which are offered with 6.2-inch displays as
standard and a bigger 7.0-inch screen featuring multi-touch gesture controls as
an option.
