All-new Subaru WRX Review – Harder, Better, Faster, Softer?

5 Aug 2022

Subaru has introduced the new WRX to the South African market and we were keen to see what it has to offer. Watch the video for insight! 

It’s easy to talk about the big news here; this generation of WRX will not be developed into and offered as an STI variant.

But that is illustrative of where Subaru is trying to position the new WRX; as a more mature, grown-up sedan, that has largely shed its boy-racer, rally history.

While that might make fans of the brand despondent, it is a play for larger volumes and wider appeal.

We sent our in-house race ace, Ashley Oldfield, to try out this new Scooby and give us his opinion on the new engine, the chassis and handling dynamics and the all-new interior.
