The 2026 Subaru WRX is here, bringing thrilling rally-inspired performance back to an affordable sports sedan, now starting at just $32,495 MSRP. This latest model builds on Subaru’s legendary heritage, delivering the excitement drivers crave while adding more standard features and value than ever before. If you’re in the market for a sporty, all-weather capable sedan that turns heads and hugs corners, the 2026 WRX at Cross Creek Subaru is worth a closer look.
Unmatched Performance That Defines the Drive
At the heart of every 2026 WRX is a 2.4-liter turbocharged SUBARU BOXER® engine, producing 271 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. This flat-four powerhouse delivers quick acceleration and that signature Subaru boxer rumble, paired with standard Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive for confident grip in rain, snow, or on twisty roads around Fayetteville.
Choose your driving style:
- A precise 6-speed manual transmission comes standard on most trims (with incline start assist for easier hill starts).
- The available Subaru Performance Transmission (SPT) — a paddle-shifted CVT — offers smooth, adaptive shifts, rev-matching downshifts, and features like Auto Vehicle Hold.
The lineup includes six trims: Base, Premium, Limited, GT, tS, and the exciting new limited-production Series.Yellow (based on the tS, with only 350 units produced). Higher trims like the tS add STI-tuned suspension, Brembo brakes, and adaptive dampers for even sharper handling.
Modern Technology and Everyday Comfort
Inside, the 2026 WRX keeps you connected and comfortable:
- An 11.6-inch Subaru Multimedia Plus System touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration.
- Bluetooth connectivity, multiple USB ports, and available premium audio options.
- A reconfigurable digital instrument cluster that shows real-time performance data like boost pressure.
The sport-designed seats provide excellent support, while the practical sedan layout offers ample room for passengers and cargo — perfect for daily drives or weekend adventures.
Advanced Safety You Can Trust
Every 2026 WRX comes standard with EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology and DriverFocus® Distraction Mitigation System to help keep you and your passengers safe. These systems include features like pre-collision braking, adaptive cruise control, lane departure assistance, and more — giving you peace of mind whether you’re commuting or pushing the limits on a back road.
The 2026 Subaru WRX arrives at retailers this spring, blending iconic rally DNA with modern refinements and incredible value. It’s more capable, more equipped, and more affordable (adjusted for inflation) than the original WRX that started it all back in 2002.
