2025 Subaru WRX Sedan Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The 2025 Subaru WRX sedan comes in four trim levels: Premium, Limited, GT and the new tS. 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 the Subaru Performance Transmission.) Highlights from each trim level are as follows:
Which WRX trim does Edmunds recommend?
As much as we like the combination of features on the new tS trim, we still think the Premium trim is the best value. It comes with heated seats, mirrors and wipers for cold climates, and a large 11.6-inch infotainment touchscreen.
