For the 2024 model year, the Subaru WRX undergoes several updates, most notably a price increase. The starting price for this compact sports sedan is now set at $33,855, which includes a $1,120 destination fee.
This new price represents a $2,230 increase from the 2023 model, and is significantly higher than the 2022 version, which was the last major redesign of the WRX.
Subaru BRZ Overview
The latest iteration of the WRX introduces a new, more dynamic version called the WRX TR. This version focuses more on enhancing handling capabilities rather than boosting power, distinguishing it from the STI models. The WRX TR begins at $42,775, including destination charges, positioning it as over $4,000 pricier than the previous STI model, which did offer additional power compared to the standard WRX.
2024 Subaru WRX Details
Despite its higher price tag, the 2024 WRX remains a value proposition considering its performance attributes. The vehicle is equipped with a turbocharged 2.4-liter flat-4 engine, capable of producing 271 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. It features all-wheel drive, with options for a 6-speed manual transmission or a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). The base model WRX does not offer the CVT; it’s available on higher trims starting with the Premium package, bringing the entry price for a WRX with CVT to $37,105, including destination fees.
The 2024 WRX comes standard with features such as LED headlights, 17-inch alloy wheels, wireless integration with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a new 11.6-inch infotainment screen, replacing the dual 7.0-inch screens from earlier models. Subaru’s Starlink electronic driver-assist suite is also standard, offering adaptive cruise control with active lane control and automatic emergency braking among other features.
2024 Subaru WRX TR Enhancements
The WRX TR variant boasts significant performance enhancements, including stiffer springs, updated damper rates, and a revised steering rack, all contributing to improved handling while maintaining a comfortable ride. It also features a robust Brembo braking system with six-piston front calipers and two-piston rear calipers, complemented by specific 19-inch wheels with 245/35 Bridgestone Potenza S007 tires.
Internally, the WRX TR is equipped with Recaro sports seats in the front, and the power moonroof has been omitted to reduce weight and lower the car’s center of gravity.
Availability
The 2024 Subaru WRX range is expected to hit dealerships early in the next year.

subaru’s reliability is great but that price hike is a bit much don’t ya think
wow the price for the WRX just keeps going up every year, remeber when it was way cheaper?
Is the CVT any good on these? last time I checked it was kinda meh
excited about the new TR model, but why no STI this year??
they should consider a hybrid or electric WRX, times are changing
271 hp is decent but they couldve pushed it to 300, just saying
they really need to update the interior, still looks like the 2020 models
The new infotainment screen is a big plus, finally an upgrade there!
