2019 Subaru WRX Review

Are you looking for something a bit more exciting to drive around the Syracuse, Oneida, and Liverpool areas? Just about any sedan can be easy to drive, but only a select few actually make the driving fun. These sporty sedans have a lot to offer, but even narrowing it down to those designed for performance leaves you with a lot of choices.

Throughout all the competition, however, the new 2019 Subaru WRX tends to stand out. The newest addition to the WRX family is the highest performing model ever with numerous features that any driver can enjoy. Could this be the model for your driving needs? Find out in Bill Rapp Subaru's comprehensive 2019 Subaru WRX review.

Engine Power

There are two available engine options with the 2019 Subaru WRX, and both of them are incredibly powerful. The standard engine already pushes 268 horsepower with 258 lb-ft of torque, and it accomplishes that feat with just a turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine. This is due in large part to its horizontal design that allows pistons to move side to side, effectively canceling out the vibrations that normally rattle and slow down other kinds of vehicles.

While the standard engine is certainly impressive, you can push things even further. Outfit your WRX with the 2.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, and you can enjoy a massive 305 horsepower with 290 lb-ft of torque. Using a sequential fuel injection system, this engine ensures you have access to every bit of power this bad boy can offer whenever you need it.

Performance

Sheer power is just the beginning of what the 2019 WRX can offer. Each model comes standard with symmetrical all-wheel drive. With this handy system at your disposal, you can conquer corners like never before with increased traction that's bound to excel no matter what kind of road conditions you encounter.

In addition to its AWD system, the WRX also features vehicle dynamics control with active torque vectoring. This system increases the responsiveness when cornering in an attempt to reduce understeer. All of that happens automatically as well, so you don't even have to think about it. You can also opt for the Sport Lineartronic® Transmission, which offers paddle shifters and automatic transmission simultaneously, so you can drive how you want.

Subaru WRX Technology

Subaru loaded the new WRX with some of the latest and greatest automotive technology that makes your ride not only thrilling, but convenient as well. The Subaru STARLINK™ multimedia system offers everything you'll ever need from an infotainment system. Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ integration are available, allowing you to access all your favorite smartphone apps right from your car's touchscreen interface.

Additionally, you may enjoy the benefit of available EyeSight® Driver Assist technology. This system is constantly monitoring your surroundings, offering alerts should danger ever be detected. One example of this is pre-collision braking, which will apply full force brakes if an imminent collision is detected in front of you.
