For the next two decades, with successive generations, these two pocket rockets battled each other in the WRC, on rally stages around the world, and for street kudos like two aging gladiators fighting for the ultimate honor in a colosseum. But the Subaru ended up outlasting the Mitsubishi when the Evo went out of production 5 years ago. Over a span of 9 years from 1995, the WRX won three manufacturer\u2019s championships and three driver titles, putting those three letters\u2014WRX\u2014firmly on the map and giving the car cult-like status in sports car and gaming circles.<\/p>\n<p>The car, however, was not always referred to as just \u2018WRX.\u2019 Up until 2014, the Impreza WRX and the base-model Impreza sat on the same platform. When Subaru decided to give the WRX a new platform in 2014 when building the fifth generation of the car, differentiating it from the base Impreza, they dropped the \u2018Impreza\u2019 preface, kept those three tell-tale letters, and added \u2018S4.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Now, some 29 years after the original version debuted, the fifth generation WRX export model has just been revealed in its final production form at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November. And I got to test drive the range-topping WRX GT model to the limit at Sodegaura Forest Raceway, one hour southeast of Tokyo. Boasting a totally new body, enhanced 4WD system, all-new platform with stiffer rigidity, totally new interior and a new larger capacity 2.4-liter turbocharged flat-four engine, the new model aims for enhanced performance and handling while delivering better economy and cleaner emissions. More on that new engine in a moment.<\/p>\n<div class=\"arve\" data-mode=\"normal\" data-oembed=\"1\" data-provider=\"youtube\" id=\"arve-youtube-k4ysitf6i2m61bb8b01bbd7a468038658\" style=\"max-width:1050px;\">\n<span class=\"arve-inner\"><br \/>\n<span class=\"arve-embed arve-embed--has-aspect-ratio\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 350 \/ 197\"><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen class=\"arve-iframe fitvidsignore\" data-arve=\"arve-youtube-k4ysitf6i2m61bb8b01bbd7a468038658\" data-src-no-ap=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/k4YsITf6i2M?feature=oembed&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;autohide=1&amp;playsinline=0&amp;autoplay=0\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"591\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-presentation allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/k4YsITf6i2M?feature=oembed&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;autohide=1&amp;playsinline=0&amp;autoplay=0\" width=\"1050\"><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/span><br \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"http:\/\/schema.org\/\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2021\/12\/16\/2022-subaru-wrx-review\/#arve-youtube-k4ysitf6i2m61bb8b01bbd7a468038658\",\"type\":\"VideoObject\",\"embedURL\":\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/k4YsITf6i2M?feature=oembed&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&autohide=1&playsinline=0&autoplay=0\"}<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-351950\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/12\/2022-subaru-wrx-review\/2022_Subaru_WRX_Review_yankodesign-10.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2021\/12\/16\/2022-subaru-wrx-review\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"2022 Subaru WRX Review\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/12\/2022-subaru-wrx-review\/2022_Subaru_WRX_Review_yankodesign-10.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-351950\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/12\/2022-subaru-wrx-review\/2022_Subaru_WRX_Review_yankodesign-10.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2021\/12\/16\/2022-subaru-wrx-review\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"2022 Subaru WRX Review\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/12\/2022-subaru-wrx-review\/2022_Subaru_WRX_Review_yankodesign-10.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-6\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\" type=\"acd1ce790f0ffa2865ea580f-text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"acd1ce790f0ffa2865ea580f-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"WRX_concepts_extreme_body_toned_down_for_final_production_model\"><\/span>WRX concept\u2019s extreme body toned down for final production model<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>But before I get into the car\u2019s performance and on-road manners, let\u2019s go back a few years and see where this new model came from. First unveiled at the 2017 Tokyo Motor Show, the extreme \u2018Subaru Viziv Performance Concept\u2019 (pictured below) gave us a sneak peek at what a new WRX might look like. With its wide and low stance, superb wedge-shaped silhouette, massively flared fenders, rugby ball-sized brake ducts, sharp, aggressive front end and quadruple exhaust pipes, the concept looked like a Scud missile on four wheels. Considered one of the best-looking cars of the show, and arguably Subaru\u2019s most aesthetically appealing concept car ever, hopes were high in motoring circles that Subaru beancounters would retain as much of those sporty, in-your-face lines and edges as possible when the new WRX came to market.<\/p>\n<p>However, while the new car does sit on the brand\u2019s highly acclaimed Subaru Global Platform, shared by the Outback and Forester, the extreme styling traits were watered down. As so often happens when a new model is transformed from concept to road-going version, the new WRX did manage to keep some aspects of the concept like the concept\u2019s sharp hexagonal grille and headlight contours, but saw those awesome flared fenders and over-the-top silhouette toned down for the mass market.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-351942\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/12\/2022-subaru-wrx-review\/2022_Subaru_WRX_Review_yankodesign-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2021\/12\/16\/2022-subaru-wrx-review\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"2022 Subaru WRX Review\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/12\/2022-subaru-wrx-review\/2022_Subaru_WRX_Review_yankodesign-2.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-351942\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/12\/2022-subaru-wrx-review\/2022_Subaru_WRX_Review_yankodesign-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2021\/12\/16\/2022-subaru-wrx-review\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"2022 Subaru WRX Review\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/12\/2022-subaru-wrx-review\/2022_Subaru_WRX_Review_yankodesign-2.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-4\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0648786275385337\" data-ad-slot=\"1017606968\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width=\"\"><\/p>\n<div overflow=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\" type=\"acd1ce790f0ffa2865ea580f-text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"acd1ce790f0ffa2865ea580f-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-351946\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/12\/2022-subaru-wrx-review\/2022_Subaru_WRX_Review_yankodesign-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2021\/12\/16\/2022-subaru-wrx-review\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"2022 Subaru WRX Review\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/12\/2022-subaru-wrx-review\/2022_Subaru_WRX_Review_yankodesign-6.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-351946\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/12\/2022-subaru-wrx-review\/2022_Subaru_WRX_Review_yankodesign-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2021\/12\/16\/2022-subaru-wrx-review\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"2022 Subaru WRX Review\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/12\/2022-subaru-wrx-review\/2022_Subaru_WRX_Review_yankodesign-6.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>But while the production model now offers more conservative design influences, it does however still feature typically characteristic WRX styling traits like a large hood scoop to feed air to the intercooler, and chunky blacked-out trim on the wheel arches and side skirts is a nod to its off-road potential, according to one Subaru staffer.<\/p>\n<p>Playing the devil\u2019s advocate, however, at first glance these dullish black plastic surrounds take some getting used to and are rather controversial in the motoring world, to say the least. They make the WRX look more like an awkward Forester sedan than a high-performance sedan. On the positive side, these black parts do work aesthetically to give the car a slightly thinner-looking side profile, which in turn, makes the WRX seem as though it means business. The rear wing has also been subtly integrated into the trunk design to help shift the car away from its long-time boy racer image. Although we can expect to see a snow board-sized rear wing on the hot WRX STI model slated for launch in a year or so.<\/p>\n<p>Subaru\u2019s design department also highlights a few functional styling upgrades that help to elevate the new WRX\u2019s dynamic performance. In addition to new functional brake ducts at the front corners of the car that channel air into the wheel arches to cool the brakes, new air outlets behind the front wheels reduce lift on the front tires and improve overall stability at speed. In addition, new air outlets at the rear of the car help to streamline the WRX and stop air from getting trapped under the rear bumper. One designer even pointed to the special aerodynamic texture of the engine under tray that reduces air resistance to improve front-end downforce as a special feature of the aero package. To further reinforce the new WRX\u2019s image into an increasingly discerning market, Subaru has also added a new \u2018solar orange pearl\u2019 body color to a range of eight colors.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-351978\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/12\/2022-subaru-wrx-review\/2022_Subaru_WRX_Review_yankodesign-23-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"721\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2021\/12\/16\/2022-subaru-wrx-review\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"2022 Subaru WRX Review\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/12\/2022-subaru-wrx-review\/2022_Subaru_WRX_Review_yankodesign-23-1.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-351978\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/12\/2022-subaru-wrx-review\/2022_Subaru_WRX_Review_yankodesign-23-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"721\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2021\/12\/16\/2022-subaru-wrx-review\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"2022 Subaru WRX Review\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/12\/2022-subaru-wrx-review\/2022_Subaru_WRX_Review_yankodesign-23-1.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-351951\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/12\/2022-subaru-wrx-review\/2022_Subaru_WRX_Review_yankodesign-11.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2021\/12\/16\/2022-subaru-wrx-review\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"2022 Subaru WRX Review\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/12\/2022-subaru-wrx-review\/2022_Subaru_WRX_Review_yankodesign-11.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-351951\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/12\/2022-subaru-wrx-review\/2022_Subaru_WRX_Review_yankodesign-11.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2021\/12\/16\/2022-subaru-wrx-review\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"2022 Subaru WRX Review\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/12\/2022-subaru-wrx-review\/2022_Subaru_WRX_Review_yankodesign-11.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-6\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\" type=\"acd1ce790f0ffa2865ea580f-text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"acd1ce790f0ffa2865ea580f-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"WRX_gets_a_more_driver-focused_cockpit_with_flat-bottomed_wheel\"><\/span>WRX gets a more driver-focused cockpit with flat-bottomed wheel<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It is inside the car where the WRX\u2019s reinvention is most obvious.

This car packs a new Subaru 2.4-litre turbocharged four-cylinder boxer engine \u2013 a format employed by every WRX since the original 1992 model. In this new guise, it pumps out 271-hp (up 3hp over the predecessor) and 258 lb-ft (43-hp and 74 lb-ft more than the naturally aspirated unit in the BRZ) and boasts a twin-scroll turbocharger. The torque curve has been broadened to deliver peak output from 2000 rpm to 5200 rpm and it is clear to see that the extra 400cc of displacement, along with a new electronically controlled turbo wastegate and bypass valves, all combine to improve throttle response and nullify turbo lag. Keep the turbo purring above 3500 rpm and you\u2019ll have a gutsy instant boost of acceleration every time you need it. Off the line, the WRX is noticeable quicker and the extra punch exiting corners is addictive. Power goes to both axles via a 6-speed manual gearbox or a new 8-speed automatic Subaru Performance Transmission (SPT) said to offer 30% faster upshifts and 50% quicker downshifts.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately the Japanese spec I drove only offered the SPT as the 6-speed manual is not offered in its home country. This 8-speed gearbox is basically a rehashed continuously variable transmission, but meticulously tuned to offer eight distinct gear ratios, which are surprisingly distinguishable, but with a more aggressive shift logic that provides quicker and beefier throttle response across the entire powerband.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-351936\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/12\/2022-subaru-wrx-review\/2022_Subaru_WRX_Review_yankodesign-19.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"721\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2021\/12\/16\/2022-subaru-wrx-review\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"2022 Subaru WRX Review\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/12\/2022-subaru-wrx-review\/2022_Subaru_WRX_Review_yankodesign-19.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-351936\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/12\/2022-subaru-wrx-review\/2022_Subaru_WRX_Review_yankodesign-19.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"721\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2021\/12\/16\/2022-subaru-wrx-review\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"2022 Subaru WRX Review\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/12\/2022-subaru-wrx-review\/2022_Subaru_WRX_Review_yankodesign-19.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-351952\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/12\/2022-subaru-wrx-review\/2022_Subaru_WRX_Review_yankodesign-12.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2021\/12\/16\/2022-subaru-wrx-review\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"2022 Subaru WRX Review\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/12\/2022-subaru-wrx-review\/2022_Subaru_WRX_Review_yankodesign-12.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-351952\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/12\/2022-subaru-wrx-review\/2022_Subaru_WRX_Review_yankodesign-12.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2021\/12\/16\/2022-subaru-wrx-review\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"2022 Subaru WRX Review\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/12\/2022-subaru-wrx-review\/2022_Subaru_WRX_Review_yankodesign-12.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>The U.S.-spec model might not get the all-new \u2018EyeSight X\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> fitted to the Japanese spec WRX GT, but it does get a tweaked version of the predecessor\u2019s EyeSight Driver Assist Technology that monitors traffic, optimizes adaptive cruise control, and warns you when you sway outside of your lane.

With overhauled front suspension, 18-inch Dunlop SP Sports Maxx tires, quicker steering, and ventilated disc brakes all round, Subaru claims the WRX boasts \u201cthe highest levels of dynamic performance and ride comfort in its history\u201d. I might have to agree. This car gets the business of going quick safely with the minimum of fuss. When pushed to the max, the WRX jumps off the line faster than its predecessor, stays flatter in the corners than any WRX before it, and resists understeer more than any other Subaru before it.<\/p>\n<p>Its steering is quick and pinpoints with plenty of feedback from the road while its power delivery is instant and effortless.

We wanted to squeeze every drop of passion and pace out of our flagship sports car and honor its WRC successes while paying tribute to our legions of fans around the world that have stuck with us over all these years.\u201d Good way to go out fellas. Can\u2019t wait for the stonking WRX STI in a year or so. That\u2019ll be something really special.<\/p>\n<div class=\"arve\" data-mode=\"normal\" data-oembed=\"1\" data-provider=\"youtube\" id=\"arve-youtube-cw73wcb2itw61bb8b01bc1b5295150669\"
