2023 Subaru WRX Release Date, Horsepower, Redesign – The Subaru WRX is one of the most concentrated when it comes to automobiles. As a result, the brand did not focus on improving areas in which it performed poorly in the competition. But this is not extended the point, as 2023 Subaru WRX returns with even more aggressive looks and a more competitive attitude. It has only ever been about producing a powerful machine with a bit of WRC magic sprinkled on top. It has sold over 164,000 copies in the United States and Canada despite its lack of comfort. Because of this, it’s easy to see why it’s so popular with fans.
2023 Subaru WRX Redesign
Exterior Design
Solar Orange Pearl and Magnetic Gray Metallic exterior colors have been reworked to provide the 2023 Subaru WRX with a more dynamic appearance. With air exits near the front wheels for reducing lift, the vehicle appears to have taken a significant stride forward in aerodynamics. LED lamps have been installed on the aluminum fender to save 5 lbs of weight from the entire vehicle.
2023 Subaru WRX Exterior
The GT version of the Subaru WRX features 18-inch alloy wheels. In terms of other trims, it appears that the same 17-inch and 18-inch wheelsets will be used again. A low-profile spoiler on the rear decklid increases downforce during high-speed cornering. An accenting back tail light also adds to the overall exterior appearance.
The WRX is likely to feature a 0.8-inch lower ground clearance than the Jetta GLI, based on the predicted continuation of the same proportions. On the other hand, the Stinger’s lower forward mass transfer will be helped by the new car’s decreased curb weight of 300 lbs.
Interior Design
The 2023 Subaru WRX’s inside features a fresh design but retains the Subaru logo. The blacked-out inside trim has red contrast stitching, striking it. Carbon fiber patterns adorn the interior, making it even more appealing. Exclusive Recaro Performance Front Seats are also included as standard equipment on the GT model.

Aside from these, the Subaru WRX’s Heated Performance Front Seats may be available on models with the Premium specification or higher. The redesigned D-shaped leatherette steering wheel is superior in terms of comfort and grip. It appears that the WRX’s load capacity will remain at 12 cubic feet for the 2023 model year.
From the WRX’s estimated load volume, it appears that the Altima VC-T SR has an additional 3.4 cu-ft. This one has a more spacious cabin and 3-inches more shoulder room in both rows than the former. There is also a 2.1 cu-ft difference between the Jetta GLI and the WRX in trunk size. An 11.6-inch touchscreen is included in the 2023 WRX’s multimedia system, Subaru Starlink.
In higher trims, a TomTom Voice-Activated Navigation system is available. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto stand standard in the SiriusXM Platinum Plan and SiriusXM Travel Link. In addition, Harman Kardon Premium Audio with 11 speakers has been integrated into the GT trim for an excellent audio experience.
2023 Subaru WRX Engine
Subaru’s 2023 WRX produces 271 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque when fitted with a 2.4L Turbo Boxer engine. AWD is an option on the Premium trim level, and it comes with a 6-speed manual transmission to handle the extra power. However, the GT trim comes equipped with a Subaru Performance Transmission, which provides 30% faster upshifts and 50% faster downshifts.

This year’s Subaru WRX features a track-tuned suspension that provides excellent cornering and steering response. Exclusive electrically adjustable dampers have been added to the GT trim to further customize the wheel geometry. The steering and suspension stiffness can be altered using GT’s Drive Mode Select, which offers three options: Comfort, Normal, and Sport.
The 2023 WRX’s 0-60 MPH boost time will remain within 5 seconds, thanks to an increase of 3 horsepower. An estimated top speed of 144 MPH can be expected from the vehicle. The braking unit of 12.4-inch front vented and 11.3-inch rear disc brakes may remain unchanged, indicating a maximum braking distance of 160 feet.
2023 Subaru WRX Price and Release Date
Numerous high-end upgrades, including a 271 horsepower Boxer engine, will be included in the revamped 2023 Subaru WRX. This means that it will be able to sprint from 0-60 MPH in just under 5 seconds, thanks to the vehicle’s increased power. With a new infotainment system and improved driver assistance, the four-trim lineup can theoretically cost between $28,000 and $32,500 for the Base and the Limited, respectively.
