Car introduction
The Subaru WRX tS represents the pinnacle of the WRX model range. The tS designation – “tuned by STI” – is not just a design element, but a guarantee of a precisely tuned chassis, sharp handling, and an authentic driving experience.
Under the hood is a turbocharged 2.4L SUBARU BOXER® engine with 271 hp (199 kW) and 350 Nm of torque, offering strong pull from low revs and smooth power delivery across the entire spectrum. The engine’s power is transmitted through a 6-speed manual transmission, which gives the driver full control over the car and underlines the sporty character of the model.
Of course, it features permanent symmetrical all-wheel drive (Symmetrical AWD), one of the main pillars of the Subaru brand. This ensures maximum traction, stability, and confidence in all weather conditions – whether on dry asphalt, wet roads, or snow-covered roads.
The WRX tS version differs significantly from the standard variants in terms of chassis technology. STI-tuned adaptive electronically controlled dampers that automatically adjust to the driving style. Powerful Brembo® brakes with significantly improved braking performance and durability during sporty driving. Precisely tuned steering with quick response and high stability in corners. The result is a car that is stable and predictable during dynamic driving, but also comfortable enough for everyday use.
The interior is designed with an emphasis on ergonomics, clarity, and a sporty atmosphere. The dashboard is dominated by a vertical 11.6″ high-resolution touchscreen infotainment display that integrates media, navigation, climate control, and vehicle settings. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bluetooth connectivity, and a premium Harman Kardon audio system are standard. The sporty character is underscored by Recaro® seats with pronounced side bolsters and the tS logo. The front seats are heated, and the driver’s seat is electrically adjustable. The interior is complemented by high-quality materials, contrasting stitching, and sporty details typical of the tS version.
The Subaru WRX tS is equipped with a suite of EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology systems that enhance passenger safety without detracting from the joy of driving. Adaptive Cruise Control – Automatically maintains the set speed and a safe distance from the vehicle in front, Pre-Collision Braking – Automatic emergency braking, Lane Keep Assist / Lane Departure Warning – Warns of unintentional lane departure and actively helps keep the car in the lane. Emergency Stop Assist – If the driver does not respond, the system can safely slow down or stop the vehicle and activate the hazard lights. Lead Vehicle Start Alert – Alerts the driver that the vehicle in front has started to move.
The exterior of the Subaru WRX tS is unmistakable. Aggressive body lines, a functional air intake on the hood, flared fenders, and 19″ alloy wheels make it clear that this is no ordinary sedan. Its sporty character is underscored by aerodynamic elements and details specific to the tS version.
