2017 Subaru WRX gets a decent price

Subaru has published pricing information for the 2017 WRX and WRX STI.
The 2017 Subaru WRX starts at $27,515, a $100 increase from the 2016 version. Not much has changed for the 2017 model, which arrives in dealerships this summer.

2017 Subaru is the latest in the WRX series that Subaru banked on for its success in 2015. The latest model packs a punch with its 268-horsepower, 2.0-liter direct injection turbo BOXER engineand standard Symmetrical All Wheel Drive. Subaru decided to go for a 6-speed manual transmission as standard in the 2017 WRX and is offering the Sport Lineartronic automatic transmission with manual mode as optional.

The body style is not changed from the design that arrived for the 2015 model year, but a few dabs of farkle have been added to the options list. Blind spot detection and rear cross-traffic alert are new for 2017.

All WRXs are getting the “nicer” headliner previously only spec’d on the higher trims, and one-touch windows for both front doors are also new. It is probably the most underwhelming special edition of all time.
