The WRX has carried Subaru's rally heritage onto public roads for over two decades, and the 2026 lineup genuinely widens what that heritage can mean for a buyer. A returning base trim and a new limited-production special edition give Rock County enthusiasts more ways into this four-door sports sedan than the lineup has offered in years. Janesville Subaru carries the WRX for drivers who want all-weather performance without sacrificing everyday usability.
The Base WRX Returns to the Lineup
For 2026, Subaru brings back a base WRX trim alongside the existing Premium, Limited, GT, and tS grades. Compared to the original 2002 WRX that set the standard for sport compact sedans, the new model carries nearly the same price adjusted for inflation, while including far more standard equipment and features.
A New Limited-Production Series.Yellow
Joining the lineup for 2026 is the WRX Series.Yellow, a limited-production model finished in Sunrise Yellow, a Subaru hallmark color previously used on the first-generation XV Crosstrek and Japan-only STI models. Based on the tS trim, it shares the same suspension and performance hardware, and comes exclusively with a 6-speed manual transmission.
271 Horsepower and Standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive
Every 2026 WRX runs a 2.4-liter turbocharged SUBARU BOXER engine producing 271 horsepower, paired with legendary Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. That combination gives the WRX genuine grip on everything from wet Wisconsin backroads to a dry track day.
EyeSight Now Standard Even on Manual Models
New for 2026, all WRX models, including those equipped with a manual transmission, come standard with Subaru EyeSight Driver Assist Technology and the DriverFocus Distraction Mitigation System. That closes a gap that previously kept some driver-assistance features off manual-equipped sports sedans.
STI-Tuned Adjustable Dampers on GT and tS
The WRX GT and tS let drivers customize ride and handling at the touch of a button with electronically adjustable dampers, with the tS featuring STI-tuned dampers offering three driver-selectable modes: Comfort, Normal, and Sport. It's a genuinely different driving experience from the base and Premium trims.
An 11.6-Inch Multimedia System Across the Lineup
Every WRX comes with an 11.6-inch portrait-format Subaru STARLINK Multimedia system featuring wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with a 12.3-inch full digital gauge cluster on upper trims. It's a genuinely modern cabin wrapped around a car built on rally-bred mechanicals.
