Embrace a new chapter in a storied legacy with the 2024 Subaru WRX RS debut in Canada. Subaru Canada, Inc. proudly introduces this performance-focused trim, echoing the spirit of the first WRX TR of 2006.

Rally Subaru gets the scoop on this exhilarating new arrival, bringing exclusive insights and details. It sure promises to ignite the passions of car lovers and collectors across Edmonton.
Performance and Handling
The heart of the WRX RS is its 2.4-litre turbocharged Subaru BOXER engine. The engine produces a potent 271 horsepower at 5,600 rpm and 258 lb-ft of torque. The torque is across a broad curve of 2,000 to 5,200 rpm. Itās paired with a 6-speed manual transmission and Subaru's symmetrical all-wheel drive that promises an exhilarating drive.Ā
The RS-exclusive suspension tuning and re-tuned steering rack reduce roll and sway, enhancing the steering feel. Adding 19-inch gunmetal alloy wheels and Bridgestone Potenza S007 tires maximizes grip and cornering ability. These performances and handling components ensure the WRX RS delivers an unparalleled driving experience, blending raw power with refined control.
Advanced Braking and Safety
A high-performance Brembo braking system ensures superior stopping power. The red-painted 6-piston front and 2-piston rear callipers, large pads, and cross-drilled rotors enhance fade resistance and pedal feel. The EyeSight Driver Assist Technology, standard across all 2024 WRX models with manual transmission, includes Adaptive Cruise Control, Pre-Collision Braking, and Lane Departure Warning, elevating safety to new heights.
Design and Comfort
The 2024 WRX RS boasts a wide-body design, a hexagonal grille, LED headlights, and a hood scoop for a wide, low look. The rear features a body-coloured spoiler and taillights with a volcanic magma glow. The moonroof delete lowers the centre of gravity, enhancing performance. Inside, black and grey Recaro sport bucket seats with Ultrasuede inserts and 8-way power adjustments for the driver offer unparalleled comfort and support during dynamic driving.
