2024 Subaru WRX Sedan Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2024 Subaru WRX sedan comes in five trim levels: base, Premium, Limited, TR and GT. Each has a turbocharged 2.4-liter horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine (271 horsepower, 258 lb-ft of torque). All-wheel drive is standard, as is a six-speed manual on all but the GT trim.  A continuously variable automatic transmission is optional on the Premium and Limited and standard on the GT. (Subaru calls the CVT a Subaru Performance Transmission.) Highlights from each trim level are as follows:

Base
In standard specification, the WRX includes:

  • 17-inch wheels
  • Summer performance tires
  • LED headlights
  • Remote keyless entry
  • Single-zone automatic climate control
  • Cloth sport-bolstered seats
  • Height-adjustable driver's seat
  • 60/40-split folding rear seats
  • Leather-wrapped steering wheel
  • Dual 7-inch center touchscreens
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration
  • Six-speaker sound system

Every WRX also comes with:

  • Forward collision warning with automatic braking (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Lane departure mitigation (warns you of a lane departure when a turn signal isn't used and can automatically steer to maintain lane position)
  • Lane keeping system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
  • Evasive steering assistance (enhances the forward collision mitigation system with steering-based collision avoidance)
  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the WRX and the car in front)

Premium
The WRX Premium adds several desirable features, including:

  • 18-inch wheels
  • LED foglights
  • Heated side mirrors
  • Windshield wiper de-icer system
  • Keyless entry and ignition
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • Heated front seats
  • 11.6-inch center touchscreen (replaces the dual 7-inch displays)
  • Starlink connected services
  • Dual rear USB ports

Options for the Premium include:

  • Harman Kardon premium sound system
  • Sunroof

Limited
This version of the WRX adds comfort and tech in the form of:

  • Adaptive headlights (swivel as you turn the steering wheel for better illumination in curves)
  • Body-color exterior mirrors with integrated turn signals
  • Sunroof
  • Power-adjustable driver's seat
  • Synthetic leather seating with microsuede inserts
  • Navigation system
  • Harman Kardon premium sound system
  • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)

Add the CVT to the Limited, and the car also has:

  • Rear automatic braking (brakes if sensors detect an imminent collision with an object behind the vehicle)

TR
The TR trim sits just above the WRX Limited in the lineup. It makes do without the Limited's sunroof but adds a few performance parts in its place. That includes:

  • 19-inch wheels with high-performance tires
  • Brembo brakes
  • Revised suspension tuning for more precise handling
  • Recaro front sport seats

GT
With the GT trim, the CVT and all driver assist features listed above are standard equipment, plus:

  • Adaptive suspension dampers (adjust to enhance both ride comfort and handling)
  • Additional drive mode settings
  • Recaro front sport seats
  • Upgraded interior trim

Which WRX trim does Edmunds recommend?

While the new TR trim offers some welcome upgrades, we still recommend the WRX Premium trim. This version of the car adds features that make driving in colder climates easier and more comfortable and installs a large-screen infotainment system with extra tech. The Premium trim also unlocks access to appealing upgrades such as a premium sound system and a sunroof.
