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 features. The base model misses blind-spot monitoring, lane-change assist, and rear cross-traffic alert, so you should check whether those features matter to you.
• Powertrain: The WRX uses a 2.4-litre turbocharged Boxer four-cylinder with standard all-wheel drive. You can choose a six-speed manual or a CVT, and the manual is paired with continuous AWD while the CVT uses variable torque distribution.
• Safety package: CVT-equipped models get Subaru’s EyeSight suite, which includes automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, lane-tracing assist, automatic steering assist, and an electronic brake booster. Manual models do not get EyeSight, and the base trim also misses blind-spot monitoring, lane-change assist, and rear cross-traffic alert.
• Infotainment: Sport-trim and higher models get an 11.6-inch tablet-style touchscreen. The base trim uses two stacked 7-inch displays instead. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are supported, and an 11-speaker Harman Kardon stereo is available.
• Fuel efficiency: Natural Resources Canada rates the manual at 12.3 L/100 km in city driving, 9.0 L/100 km on the highway, and 10.8 L/100 km combined. The CVT is rated at 12.7 L/100 km city, 9.4 L/100 km highway, and 11.2 L/100 km 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 if you want the WRX’s core performance and all-wheel-drive hardware at the lowest price. It is the least equipped trim, and it misses the extra driver-assistance features found higher up the range.
• Sport: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it adds the 11.6-inch touchscreen and brings a much more modern cabin experience. It also unlocks the available CVT and the associated EyeSight safety suite.
• Sport-tech: Choose this if you want the most fully equipped WRX and are willing to pay for it. It builds on the Sport with more premium equipment and keeps the same safety advantages when paired with the CVT.

The safety-package gap is important here: EyeSight is standard only on CVT-equipped models, while manual models do not get it.

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

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so it makes sense to shop carefully and compare listings.

• Deal availability: 37.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 135 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 10.31% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $28,132 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 $28,132 CAD sits slightly below last year's $31,366 CAD.

That softer pricing suggests the WRX has become more accessible for used buyers, but it also means future sellers may face a more competitive market. If you buy at the current average, you may have less room for appreciation than owners did a year ago. Still, the WRX’s enthusiast appeal and all-wheel-drive performance help support demand.

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.

CVT-equipped models come standard with Subaru’s EyeSight suite of advanced driver assistance systems, which includes automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, lane-tracing assist, automatic steering assist, and an electronic brake booster. Manual models do not get EyeSight, and the base trim also misses blind-spot monitoring, lane-change assist, and rear cross-traffic alert.

That trim-level split matters if safety tech is a priority, because the most complete driver-assistance package is tied to the CVT. The car does benefit from the Subaru Global Platform and 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:

• 37.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 10.31% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.9/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2022 update improves the WRX’s powertrain, suspension, and technology while keeping its all-weather performance focus.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $30,691 CAD, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $28,132 CAD average.
• It carries over the same fourth-generation formula with no changes.

The bottom line: The 2022 is the better buy if you want the strongest mix of price, performance, and updated tech. If you are more price-sensitive, the 2022 also gives you a better entry point than the 2023 while keeping the same core WRX character.

How does the 2022 Subaru WRX compare to the 2022 Honda Civic?

Our experts score the 2022 Subaru WRX 6.8/10 and the 2022 Honda Civic 7.7/10. The WRX is the more performance-focused choice, with standard all-wheel drive and a stronger enthusiast identity. The Civic is the better value on price and inventory, and it also has a higher expert score. If you want traction and driving excitement, the WRX makes sense; if you want broader appeal and a lower average used price, the Civic is the easier recommendation.
