First look at all-new WR-X

The engine might be unchanged but the latest Subaru WR-X has plenty of goodies in store for fans of the iconic performance sedan.

Subaru Australia has confirmed an all-new WRX AWD tS Spec B, will join the model line-up in 2025.

It will feature the option of a manual transmission, larger brakes and a more imposing rear wing.

Also confirmed are 19-inch matte grey alloy wheels, Brembo brakes with ventilated discs, and Recaro front sports seats.

The car pictured is shown with optional STI Performance Mufflers fitted.

Alas, the new STI revealed in January is still not set to make an appearance in Australian showrooms anytime sonn.

Designed to captivate both driving purists and enthusiasts, Subaru claims the new Spec B takes the iconic WRX to new heights.

While full specifications will be revealed soon, it says the WRX AWD tS Spec B already stands out with a host of unique features.

These include 19-inch matte grey alloy wheels, Brembo brakes with ventilated brake discs, and Recaro front seats — designed to enhance both performance and driving enjoyment.

A striking large rear wing spoiler further amplifies its aggressive stance, making a bold statement even before it hits the road.

This is just the beginning of what makes the WRX AWD tS Spec B a true performance enthusiast’s machine

Equipped with a six-speed manual transmission, the WRX AWD tS Spec B offers the purest connection between car and driver.

Powered by Subaru’s renowned 2.4-litre turbocharged Boxer engine with 202kW/350Nm and Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, it delivers the WRX’s signature handling and power, resulting in an instinctive driving experience with confidence-inspiring grip and razor-sharp precision.

Subaru Australia General Manager, Scott Lawrence, said: “We’re excited to introduce the WRX AWD tS Spec B to the model range in 2025.

“This is just the first glimpse of what’s to come, and we look forward to sharing more details soon!”

As anticipation builds for the newest WRX addition, Subaru Australia is also proud to confirm its continued partnership with Supercars in 2025 as the Official Race Control and Course Car Partner of the Repco Supercars Championship.

Australians will get an exclusive first look at a prototype WRX AWD tS Spec B at the Thrifty Sydney 500 Opening Round, setting the stage for what’s to come.
