The WRX STI shares the same DNA as our World Rally Championship (WRC) cars. The WRX STI comes with the 2.5-litre turbocharged Double Over Head Camshaft Boxer Engine. Our Active Valve Control System (AVCS) electronically adjusts intake valve timing giving optimum power and torque while minimising fuel consumption and emissions.
Along with a six-speed transmission, 17-inch STI alloy wheels, aerodynamic STI sports body kit and underpinned by Subaru’s symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system you will be in the driver's seat of a performance car legend that is the envy of many more expensive performance cars.
All Subaru vehicles have superb handling. That’s because of the unique combination of our trademark All-Wheel Drive, symmetrical drivetrain and horizontally opposed Boxer Engine that’s designed to sit low in the engine bay. Add this to the Subaru Advantage and every Subaru offers a surefooted, balanced safe ride that is enjoyable in all conditions.
The WRX STI takes handling even further with inverted suspension struts to help maintain ideal tyre to road surface contact for increased cornering power. The 17 inch STI alloy wheels with 225/45 17 90W Bridgestone Potenza RE070 tyres along with the STI aerodynamic body kit advancements all work together to give you an exhilarating, safe performance driving experience.
Impreza WRX STI has benefited from our rally bred technology, with an aerodynamic package that combines a rear roof vane, rear spoiler and rear under body diffuser that improves underbody airflow & overall aerodynamic performance.
