Is the Subaru WRX all new in 2025?
The 2025 Subaru WRX isn’t a full redesign, but it does introduce the new WRX tS trim, replacing last year’s TR model. Short for “tuned by STI,” the tS brings upgraded brakes, a revised suspension setup, and unique styling touches, making it the most performance-focused WRX in the lineup without stepping into full STI territory.
Subaru WRX Trim levels
The Subaru WRX line is offered in four trim levels:
- Premium
- Limited
- GT
- tS (as tested)
MSRP for the tS trim is $48,875.00
What is the Subaru WRX warranty?
- 3 year/36,000-mile Limited Warranty
- 5 year/60,000-mile Powertrain Warranty
What engine comes with the Subaru WRX?
Every 2025 Subaru WRX is powered by a 2.4-liter turbocharged flat-four producing 271 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. Subaru’s signature all-wheel drive is standard, and buyers can choose between a six-speed manual or a CVT automatic depending on the trim.
The 2025 Subaru WRX tS can go from 0 to 60 mph in 5.6 seconds.
What are the interior features of the Subaru WRX?
The 2025 Subaru WRX cabin blends Subaru’s familiar design with sporty touches, featuring carbon-fiber-style trim, red contrast stitching, and a flat-bottomed steering wheel. A 60/40 split-folding rear seat provides access to the trunk for added practicality. Moving up from the Base trim unlocks creature comforts like heated front seats, heated mirrors, a windshield wiper deicer, aluminum pedal covers, USB-C ports, and an available 11-speaker, 504-watt Harman Kardon sound system. The WRX tS model takes things further with eight-way power Recaro sport seats in black synthetic suede, blue interior accents, and unique WRX tS badging.
Every 2025 WRX comes with an 11.6-inch infotainment touchscreen featuring standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The WRX tS stands out with a 12.3-inch fully digital instrument cluster, while other trims retain a more traditional gauge setup.
How does the Subaru WRX ts drive?
I have two perspectives to answer this question:
As a fairly tall, family man, The WRX tS is definitely more of a personal toy than a family car, but it’s livable enough for occasional kid duty. Getting my two kids in booster seats into the back isn’t hard, and the trunk space is decent for a compact sedan. Visibility is good for daily driving, and the ride while firm isn’t rough.
As a car enthusiast, The steering is precise, the suspension upgrades give it a planted, confident feel, and the six-speed manual keeps you fully engaged. The turbo flat-four pulls strong and pairs perfectly with the tS’s stiffer chassis. It reminds you why enthusiasts still love a proper manual sport sedan.
Final thoughts.
The 2025 Subaru WRX tS is a car built for driving enthusiasts who still need a touch of practicality. It’s sharp, engaging, and rewards anyone who loves to row their own gears, yet it can still handle a grocery run or kid drop-off without complaint. For those who want a daily driver that doubles as a weekend thrill machine, the tS delivers that classic WRX spirit with a more refined edge.
