Why it stands out

The 2021 Subaru WRX stands out as a practical sports sedan with rally-bred character and standard all-wheel drive. It sits on the Subaru Impreza’s bones, but its turbocharged four-cylinder Boxer engine and Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive give it the enthusiast appeal that made the WRX name so well known. For buyers, that combination of everyday usability and performance focus is the core of its identity.

For 2021, the WRX remained part of the fourth generation, which brought more interior space, better fuel efficiency, and a stiffer chassis. It used a 2.0-litre turbocharged Subaru Boxer engine rated at 268 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque, paired with a six-speed manual transmission or an available CVT. Subaru’s Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive was standard, and the system also featured AWD torque vectoring to improve handling. The model year also offered a range of trims, from the base car with heated front seats, keyless entry and ignition, and a pair of seven-inch touchscreens, to better-equipped versions with an 11.6-inch touchscreen, Subaru’s EyeSight driver assistance suite, blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane change assist, adaptive headlights, faux leather seats with microsuede inserts, navigation, and heated rear seats.

Its appeal is strongest for drivers who want a compact performance car that still works as a year-round daily driver. The WRX’s strengths include fun-to-drive handling and standard all-wheel drive, while its drawbacks include outdated technology, a cramped back seat in older models, and poor fuel economy. Even so, the 2021 Subaru WRX remains distinctive because it blends accessible performance, all-weather traction, and a long-running enthusiast reputation in a single package.
