WRX VB

The Subaru WRX VB, launched in 2022, represents the latest evolution of Subaru's iconic rally-inspired sports sedan. Built on the Subaru Global Platform, the WRX VB offers significant improvements in structural rigidity and handling, making it more capable on both road and track. It features a bold new design with an aggressive front grille, muscular fender flares, and sleek LED headlights, giving it a modern, athletic look while staying true to the WRX's performance heritage. The VB generation also incorporates functional aerodynamic elements, such as air vents in the front bumper and rear fenders, which improve airflow and stability at higher speeds.

Under the hood, the WRX VB is powered by a 2.4-liter turbocharged Boxer engine, producing 271 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. This engine, while slightly larger than the previous generation’s 2.0-liter, is tuned to deliver a broad, responsive powerband, making it ideal for both spirited driving and daily use. The WRX VB offers a 6-speed manual transmission for enthusiasts, as well as Subaru's Performance Transmission, a refined CVT option with an 8-speed manual mode for smooth, quick shifts. The new platform and engine combination allow for improved handling dynamics and better overall road stability, making the VB generation a step up in terms of driving performance.

Inside, the WRX VB offers an updated cabin that balances functionality with modern tech features. Higher trims come with an 11.6-inch vertical touchscreen infotainment system that supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with Subaru's suite of EyeSight driver-assist features for enhanced safety. The seating is supportive and designed with sporty styling, featuring contrast stitching and WRX branding. Additionally, the WRX VB has a spacious trunk and rear seating, making it one of the more practical choices in the performance sedan segment. With its blend of performance, technology, and daily usability, the Subaru WRX VB solidifies its reputation as a versatile sports sedan built for both adventure and everyday driving.
