Solid. Brave. Proven. Subaru’s Boxer engine design lies at the heart of 

the Subaru WRX. However the innovation doesn’t stop there. Every inch of the 

Subaru WRX is a tribute to the boldness of Subaru’s visionary engineers. 

> compact 2.5-litre four-cylinder doHc turbocharged 

horizontally-opposed boxer petrol engine with active Valve 

control system (aVcs). 

>electronic Throttle control (eTc). 

consistent across the subaru WrX range is the famous 

subaru boxer engine that has been designed to sit lower and 

flatter in the engine bay than upright engines. due to this 

unique positioning it delivers less noise and vibration to the 

cabin, while the lowered centre of gravity improves stability, 

cornering and traction with the road. coupled with the subaru 

WrX’s symmetrical drivetrain, this configuration delivers 

superior handling confidence, better balance, smoothness and 

ultimately, outstanding driver enjoyment. 

The intelligent drive systems incorporated into the subaru 

WrX include eTc which seamlessly translates commands from 

the driver’s right foot to automatically select the optimum 

throttle position for effortless performance. The eTc system 

also considers the environment, optimising gas emissions and 

fuel economy. 

The subaru WrX engine has also been finely tuned to 

deliver optimum power, torque, exhaust emissions, 

fuel economy and idling stability via subaru’s active 

Valve control system (aVcs ) which varies the inlet 

camshaft timing. This helps the subaru WrX produce 

an astonishing 195kW of power at 6,000rpm and 

maximum torque of 343nm at 4,000rpm, providing 

thrilling sports performance and drivability. 

The subaru WrX is a pure performance 

pedigree that delivers power and control in 

equal measures. it demands and delivers the 

best with a five-speed manual transmission 

for heart-stopping, hands-on control.

Scientifically conceived. Rigorously tested for the last 

40 years. Subaru’s iconic Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive 

system is the pinnacle of superior Japanese technology. 

Technology that sets you free. 

confidence under aLL condiTions 

The sign of a true performer is good balance. and 

when it comes to driving a subaru, superior balance 

equals superior vehicle control. That’s why subaru 

has built its reputation on its symmetrical all-Wheel 

drive (saWd) system and a symmetrical drivetrain 

that deliver an innate sense of balance from the 

ground up. 

saWd delivers engine power to all four wheels 

simultaneously. Having power distributed across 

all four wheels, rather than two on conventional 

vehicles, gives you twice the grip capacity. so under 

acceleration there’s more grip for cornering and 

more capacity to keep on track through the corners. 

ultimately, having the driving force spread across all 

four wheels means greater control and confidence 

under all conditions. 

The traction and control delivered by saWd is 

further enhanced by the subaru WrX’s 

suspension. The wide track rigid front 

suspension produces more responsive steering 

and cornering, while the independent double 

wishbone rear suspension lets you enjoy 

sharper handling and grip, instinctive 

responsiveness, better balance and 

a better feel on the road. 

for you, the driver, it all adds up 

to an agile and responsive vehicle 

with optimum balance, control and 

confidence in a variety of driving 

conditions.

On the rally track conditions can change in an instant. Driver reflexes are coiled tight, their attention 

is unwavering. Confidence in their car is paramount. While Subaru rally cars proudly carried the scars 

of uncompromising terrain, the lessons we’ve learned from their adventures are designed to help 

keep you unscathed. 

cruncH Time 

because you never know what’s around the corner, subaru have made safety an 

integral part of every vehicle. by incorporating the very latest safety technology, 

every vehicle in the subaru range proudly carries the maximum five-star ancaP * 

crashworthiness rating for occupant safety. The ring-shaped passenger cell is 

made from high-tensile strength steel, which directs impact energy around the 

passenger compartment, not through it. 

Thanks to subaru’s electronic driver assist system, called Vehicle dynamics 

control (Vdc), a range of stability and braking technologies step in 

to maintain safety in extreme situations. by automatically acting on 

information transmitted from a sophisticated array of sensors, the 

factors influencing the subaru WrX’s stability are constantly monitored 

to help the driver stay in control. 

subaru Vehicle dynamics control incorporates: 

> electronic stability control (esc). 

> Traction control system (Tcs). 

> Tcs Limited slip device (Lsd). 

> anti-lock braking system (abs). 

> electronic brakeforce distribution (ebd). 

> brake assist.

> The boxer engine sits low in the engine bay to help protect occupants by sliding 

below the cabin - not into it - in the event of a severe frontal collision. 

> ring-shaped passenger safety cell combines rigid reinforced sections with 

crumple zones designed to absorb impact energy and reduce injury. 

> six srs airbags - dual front, dual front side and curtain airbags.
