Subaru is adding some extra standard features and a new trim level to the WRX lineup for 2024, and that means a price increase. Set to arrive in dealerships early next year, the base WRX will start at US$ 33,855, marking a US$ 2,230 increase compared to the 2023 price. The price increase for the 2024 WRX is attributed to a US$ 2,130 rise in its MSRP, coupled with a US$ 100 increase in the destination charge, which now stands at US$ 1,120. Notably, the base model now includes the 11.6-inch Subaru Starlink Multimedia Plus touchscreen as a standard feature. Furthermore, the EyeSight Driver Assistance Technology is now a standard inclusion, and it’s also available on models equipped with a manual transmission for the first time.
Next up in the lineup is the WRX Premium,
which starts US$ 35,755 (including US$ 1,120 destination charge), which is US$ 1,630
more than the model cost in 2023. It adds 18-inch alloy wheels with a dark gray
finish that are wrapped in summer performance tires. It also gets heated front
seats and exterior mirrors, aluminum pedal covers, push-button start, and USB-C
ports. The Premium model can also be equipped with an optional 11-speaker
Harman Kardon speaker system, a moonroof, and the CVT, which is called the
Subaru Performance Transmission (SPT).
The WRX Limited starts at US$ 40,135
(including US$ 1,120 destination charge), which is US$ 1,620 more than the same
version last year. For this model, the Harman Kardon sound system comes
standard, as does a 10-way adjustable driver’s seat with Ultrasuede upholstery,
and voice-activated navigation by TomTom. New to the lineup for 2024 is the WRX
TR, which is geared towards enthusiasts. It is only available with the
six-speed manual transmission, and comes with Brembo brakes, a stiffer
suspension, a retuned steering rack, 19-inch alloy wheels wrapped in
Bridgestone Potenza summer performance tires. It also comes with Recaro seats,
and a moonroof delete. Prices for the new model start at US$ 42,775 (including US$
1,120 destination charge).
Conversely, the range-topping WRX GT is
only available with the SPT gearbox. However, it also comes with Recaro seats
and a sport-tuned suspension, but it gets electronic adjustable ride control
and 18-inch alloy wheels. Prices start at US$ 45,335 (including US$ 1,120
destination charge), which is just US$ 920 more than it cost last year. All
models, including the TR, are powered by Subaru’s 2.4-liter turbocharged boxer
engine, which makes 271 hp and 350 Nm of torque.
The 2024 WRX will start arriving in U.S. dealerships starting early next year.
