Subaru has unveiled the 2025 WRX sedan in Australia, featuring significant safety and tech upgrades. The latest model introduces a manual variant, the tS Spec B, which offers enhanced performance elements like adaptive suspension and distinctive styling cues such as unique wheels, Brembo brakes, and the iconic STI rear wing.
This manual WRX variant is considered the hero model by Subaru Australia, despite being priced similarly to the automatic tS model and costing less than the top-tier Sportswagon tS. The tS Spec B is the priciest manual WRX available in the market, setting a new benchmark for enthusiasts.
Building on previous updates, all WRX sedans now come standard with advanced safety features including a driver monitoring system, emergency driving stop system, and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. These enhancements aim to elevate the driving experience and ensure a safer journey for occupants.
Subaru has also made cosmetic refinements to the interior and exterior, such as updated alloy wheels, revised interior stitching, and Recaro seats now included in all tS variants. These design tweaks enhance the overall aesthetics and comfort of the WRX lineup.
For the 2025 model year, pricing across the WRX range has seen slight increases, with the tS variants receiving a $3500 bump due to the addition of new technologies. The WRX continues to offer a 2.4-liter turbocharged boxer engine delivering 202kW of power and 350Nm of torque, paired with either a six-speed manual or an eight-speed Sport Lineartronic CVT.
The WRX maintains its all-wheel-drive system with torque vectoring to ensure optimal power distribution and handling. The sedan and Sportswagon variants cater to different preferences, with the tS Spec B now standing out as the pinnacle of performance for manual enthusiasts.
Subaru’s commitment to safety is evident in the WRX lineup, with features like autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, and lane-keeping assist enhancing driver and passenger protection. The addition of driver monitoring and emergency driving stop systems further solidifies Subaru’s focus on safety innovation.
As part of the 2025 upgrades, the WRX range now offers a comprehensive suite of technology and convenience features, including a driver-friendly 11.6-inch touchscreen infotainment system, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a range of drive modes to suit different driving preferences.
With the introduction of the tS Spec B manual variant, Subaru has elevated the WRX lineup to appeal to a broader range of driving enthusiasts. The combination of performance enhancements, advanced safety features, and technological upgrades positions the 2025 WRX as a compelling option in the sports sedan segment.
Subaru’s continuous efforts to evolve the WRX lineup demonstrate a commitment to meeting the needs of performance-oriented drivers while prioritizing safety and technological innovation. The 2025 WRX sedan showcases a blend of power, precision, and sophistication, setting a new standard for sports sedans in the market.
