2011 Subaru Impreza WRX Lineup Rolls Out

Published Mar 22, 2010

* Subaru will unveil its new Impreza WRX lineup at the New York auto show.
* The 2011 WRX's track is widened by 1.5 inches at the front and rear, and the cars get 1-inch-wider wheels and tires.
* Pricing has not yet been announced for the '11 WRX, which hits dealerships this summer.


NEW YORK — Subaru of America is rolling out its 2011 Impreza WRX with a wide-body design similar to that on the flagship WRX STI. The automaker calls it a "wide and low" look; Executive Vice President Tom Doll says the change makes the WRX into "an even more compelling all-wheel-drive performance package." The new models will debut at the 2010 New York Auto Show, and arrive in dealerships this summer.

The 2011 Impreza WRX comes in four- and five-door versions, both with a turbocharged 2.5-liter boxer four-cylinder engine making 265 horsepower and 244 pound-feet of torque. The engine is mated to a five-speed manual transmission.

Subaru's Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive is used in the Continuous AWD version, with a viscous-coupling locking center differential. Stability and traction control are standard, along with the Incline Star Assist system for which Subaru is known on manual-transmission models.

The 2011 WRX's track is widened by 1.5 inches at the front and rear, and the cars get 1-inch-wider wheels and tires. The front fenders and rear quarter-panels are also wider. The four-door model is 6.5 inches longer than the five-door, Subaru says, and its trunk can hold three Tour-size golf bags.

Aesthetically, the 2011 WRX has a new grille with blacked-out base, lip spoiler and wider foglamp openings. The interior has carbon-black checkered upholstery with red accent stitching, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and aluminum alloy pedal covers and driver's footrest. A navigation system is optional.

Curb weight is up by 34 pounds on the 2011 WRX over the outgoing model.

Pricing was not announced for the 2011 models. The 2010 WRX models were priced starting at $27,495 for the four-door and $27,995 for the five-door model.

Inside Line says: You complained and Subaru listened. The new WRX sedan finally looks like a serious street-legal rally car instead of a warmed-over Toyota Corolla. — Laura Sky Brown, Correspondent

All it needs is the 6 speed and some brakes and it'd be perfect.

Well done subaru, you just ruined the resale of 09 sedans

If you like that then you will like the new STi sedan when it
finally comes out because I can't see it being much different
body wise.
