Video: 2015 Subaru WRX

But as WRX fans know, this is no ordinary Impreza. A new 2 liter turbocharged 4-Cylinder makes 268 horsepower, 258 pounds feet of torque, should make performance impressive. Let's check it out. An option over the halogen headlights are LED low beams. The 17 inch blacked out wheels on the WRX where Dunlop Sport Maxx tires the front hood with the hood scoop on it the front hood with the hood scoop on it. the rear doors, the rear quarter panels, those are all new versus the regular Impreza. Subaru says the headlights are supposed to quote, evoke a raptor stance. So I guess that means other dinosaurs or cars should beware. So about that engine, it's a 2 liter turbo 4-cylinder, but thanks to new direct injection, it makes better gas mileage and makes more power than last years, 2.5 liter turbo, 4-cylinder. A 6-speed manual transmission now, versus last year's 5-speed manual transmission, overall gas mileage up to 21 city, 28 highway, a big improvement over last year's 19 city, 25 highway. There's also a newly optional continuously variable automatic transmission. Subaru says it has stepped gear ratios that try to act like it seems like a stepped automatic, gets out simulated step gear ratios, I should say. Still having a CVT in the WRX seems like watching the Superbowl is a game of touch football. Subaru has been a bit of a dinosaur in terms of multimedia and electronics, but it's hoping to change that. The WRX has things like streaming Bluetooth that can stream Aha, it's integrated into an available Harman Kardon stereo system. Now Subaru also says the new WRX, easier to see out of, easier to get into and get out of versus its predecessor. Changes for the WRX versus the Impreza include things like a flat bottom steering wheel here, a contoured sports seats that come in high grip fabric or optional leather. All-wheel drive in the WRX now includes a torque vectoring system to improve handling by sending more power to the outside wheel in a corner. The center differential has either a mechanical or a viscous coupling depending on which transmission you get. And with the automatic, it sends a little bit more power, 55% by default to the rear wheels. Subaru says the manual WRX hits 60 miles an hour in about 5.4 seconds, with the automatic doing it in about 6 seconds. Stay tuned for our driving impressions when the car goes on sale in 2014.
