Subaru Canada recently unveiled the 2024 WRX RS, a model that promises to redefine the standards of dynamic driving. Known as the WRX TR in the U.S., the WRX RS showcases Subaru’s dedication to delivering high-performance vehicles that captivate both enthusiasts and everyday drivers alike.

Peak Performance Engineering

The heart of the WRX RS is its 2.4-litre turbocharged Subaru BOXER engine, producing a robust 271 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. This power is harnessed by a close-ratio six-speed manual transmission, ensuring drivers have full control over the vehicle’s exceptional capabilities. The symmetrical full-time all-wheel drive, a staple of Subaru’s engineering, ensures superior handling and traction, enhancing the driving experience in all conditions.

Advanced Suspension and Braking

Subaru has equipped the WRX RS with an exclusive RS-tuned suspension and a re-tuned steering rack, designed to minimize roll and sway while maximizing steering feel and responsiveness. The inclusion of high-performance Brembo brakes, with red six-piston front calipers and two-piston rear calipers, not only enhances stopping power but also improves fade resistance and pedal feel. The WRX RS rides on exclusive 19-inch gunmetal alloy wheels, wrapped in Bridgestone Potenza S007 tires, ensuring maximum grip and cornering ability.

Safety Meets Performance

In a first for the WRX, the 2024 model now includes EyeSight Driver Assist Technology as standard on manual transmission models. This award-winning safety system encompasses Adaptive Cruise Control, Pre-Collision Braking System, Lane Departure and Sway Warning, and Lead Vehicle Start Alert, emphasizing Subaru’s commitment to safety without compromising the thrill of driving.

Styling and Comfort

The WRX RS continues the wide-body design language of the WRX family, featuring a hexagonal grille, compact LED headlights, and a hood scoop that accentuates its aggressive stance. A moonroof delete reduces weight and lowers the center of gravity, benefiting performance. The RS-exclusive Sapphire Blue Pearl exterior paint option adds a unique flair to its appearance. Inside, the WRX RS sports black and grey Recaro front sport bucket seats with Ultrasuede inserts, offering comfort and support during spirited driving. The driver’s seat includes 8-way power adjustments, ensuring an optimal driving position.

Cutting-Edge Infotainment and Connectivity

But, the WRX RS is not just about performance; it also offers a sophisticated infotainment experience. The vehicle includes an 11.6-inch display with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, providing seamless connectivity and entertainment on the go. Additional features include SiriusXM, USB slots, dual-zone automatic climate control, and Subaru STARLINK Connected Services, enhancing both convenience and enjoyment.

The 2024 Subaru WRX RS is more than just a car; it’s a statement of Subaru’s prowess in creating vehicles that deliver exhilaration and safety in equal measure. With its potent BOXER engine, advanced suspension and braking systems, and state-of-the-art safety and infotainment features, the WRX RS is set to captivate driving enthusiasts and casual drivers alike.
