Used 2022 Subaru WRX Sedan Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

Subaru's 2022 WRX sedan comes in base, Premium, Limited and GT trims. Each comes with a turbocharged 2.4-liter horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine that's good for 271 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. Power flows to all four wheels through either a standard six-speed manual transmission or an optional continuously variable automatic (CVT; Subaru calls it a Subaru Performance Transmission). Feature highlights include:

Base
Starts you off with:

  • 17-inch wheels
  • LED headlights
  • Automatic climate control
  • 60/40-split folding rear seats
  • Leather-wrapped steering wheel
  • Dual center 7-inch touchscreens
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration
  • Six-speaker sound system

Adding the optional CVT also equips the WRX with:

  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the WRX and the car in front)
  • Lane keeping assist (steers the WRX back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
  • Evasive steering assist (enhances the forward collision mitigation system with steering-based collision avoidance)

Premium
Upgrades the WRX with:

  • 18-inch wheels
  • LED foglights
  • Keyless ignition and entry
  • 11.6-inch center touchscreen (replaces the dual 7-inch displays)
  • Heated side mirrors
  • Heated front seats
  • Alloy pedals
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control

Optional on the Premium:

  • Premium Harman Kardon sound system
  • Integrated navigation system

Limited
Gets the optional sound system and navigation system as standard, plus:

  • Sunroof
  • Adaptive headlights (swivel as you turn the steering wheel for better illumination in curves)
  • Power-adjustable driver's seat
  • Simulated leather seating with microsuede inserts
  • Upgraded interior trim
  • Blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert (warns you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)

GT
Tops off the WRX lineup with:

  • Adaptive suspension dampers
  • Additional drive mode settings
  • Recaro front sport seats

Which WRX trim does Edmunds recommend?

The top GT trim is cool but pricey. So stick with the midlevel Premium for the best value. You're still getting most of the good stuff, such as the 11.6-inch touchscreen, and you can add on the optional upgraded sound system and navigation system if you want.
