What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Subaru WRX?

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base trim is the most stripped-back version, while Sport and Sport-tech add more equipment and safety content. If you want the best balance of value and features, the Sport trim is the one to focus on.
• Powertrain: You can choose a 2.4-litre turbocharged Boxer engine with either a six-speed manual or a CVT called the Subaru Performance Transmission. The manual is described as a delight to use, while the CVT adds paddle-shift control and quicker shift behaviour than before.
• Safety package: EyeSight comes standard on CVT-equipped models and includes automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, lane-tracing assist, an electronic brake booster, and automatic steering assist. Manual models do not get EyeSight. Blind-spot monitoring, lane-change assist, and rear cross-traffic alert are standard on Sport and Sport-tech trims, but not on the base trim.
• Infotainment: Sport-trim and higher models get an 11.6-inch tablet-style touchscreen. The system includes physical controls for climate, power and volume, tuning, and defrost functions, while Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration are present but not especially polished. The base trim uses two stacked 7-inch displays instead.
• Fuel efficiency: Natural Resources Canada rates the manual at 12.3 L/100 km in city driving, 9.0 on the highway, and 10.8 combined. The CVT is rated at 12.7 city, 9.4 highway, and 11.2 combined.

Which 2022 Subaru WRX trim should I buy?

The 2022 Subaru WRX is offered in 3 trim levels: base, Sport, and Sport-tech.

Here's the short version:

• base: This is the entry point, but it leaves out EyeSight and the extra blind-spot-related safety features found higher up. It makes sense only if you want the lowest starting price and are comfortable with the simpler equipment list.
• Sport: This is the best-value trim. It adds the 11.6-inch touchscreen, more polished cabin presentation, and the key safety upgrades that the base trim misses, making it the sweet spot for most used buyers.
• Sport-tech: Choose this if you want the most fully equipped WRX and are willing to pay for it. It builds on the Sport trim with the top-end feature set and is the right pick if you want the most complete version of the car.

For safety, note that EyeSight is standard only on CVT-equipped models, while blind-spot monitoring, lane-change assist, and rear cross-traffic alert are standard on Sport and Sport-tech trims regardless of transmission.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Subaru WRX?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so it pays to compare listings carefully and move quickly on strong examples.

• Deal availability: 26.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 125 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.08% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $28,745 CAD, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2022 Subaru WRX's resale value?

The current average of $29,457 CAD sits slightly below last year's $31,702 CAD.

That softer pricing suggests the market has become a bit more favourable for buyers, which can make future resale more competitive if you purchase at the right price. For a seller, it means you may need to be realistic about pricing if you want to move the car quickly. The good news is that the WRX still has a strong enthusiast following, which helps support demand for clean, well-kept examples.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.9/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2022 Subaru WRX safe?

The 2022 Subaru WRX earns a 5/10 safety score from our experts.

EyeSight is Subaru’s standard driver-assistance suite on CVT-equipped models, and it includes automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, lane-tracing assist, an electronic brake booster, and automatic steering assist. Manual-transmission models do not get EyeSight, which is an important gap if safety tech is a priority. Separate from EyeSight, blind-spot monitoring, lane-change assist, and rear cross-traffic alert are standard on Sport and Sport-tech trims, but not on the base trim.

The WRX also benefits from the Subaru Global Platform, which absorbs more energy in a crash than the previous architecture, and it comes with seven airbags, including a driver’s-side knee airbag.

Should I buy a 2022 Subaru WRX or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2022 if:

• 26.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.08% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.9/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It brings a stronger powertrain, improved suspension, and upgraded technology.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $31,359 CAD, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $29,457 CAD average.
• It carries over unchanged, so you’re mainly paying more for the newer model year.

The bottom line: The 2022 is the better value if you want the freshest WRX at a lower average price and you’re happy with its updated powertrain and tech. If you’re price-sensitive, the 2022 is the smarter buy; if you simply want the newer model year and don’t mind paying more for essentially the same package, the 2023 is the alternative.
