Put More Fun in Your Drive with the 2023 Subaru WRX in Albuquerque NM

If sporty is what you’re looking for in your next car, then the 2023 Subaru WRX in Albuquerque NM is sure to please. Having seen a significant redesign for 2022, what the company calls a “full model change,” we don’t expect any significant alterations for the new model year. The eye-catching exterior is sleek and stylish, representing the latest in Subaru’s rally-bred design while offering reliability as a daily driver.

Exterior Style

With a wide-body design that fits its sporting personality, the bold new look of the WRX projects an aggressive stance. In the front, the signature hexagonal grille has been widened and matched with compact LED headlights, and a distinctive hood scoop, to emphasize the more menacing appearance. You’ll also get LED fog lights in all trims except the Base. 

Reducing its overall weight by five pounds, the Subaru WRX features new lightweight yet strong aluminum fenders and comes with 17 or 18-inch wheels, depending on the trim. In the back, the deck lid integrates a low-profile rear spoiler in a matching body color.

Underneath it All

The entire lineup of the WRX comes standard with a new 2.4-liter turbocharged BOXER engine that’s a big jump from the prior model. It delivers up to 274 horsepower at 5,600 rpm and a bigger torque curve with 258 lb-ft from 2,000-5,200 rpm. This improved displacement, combined with a turbocharger equipped with air bypass valves and an electronically controlled wastegate, increases responsiveness and acceleration. 

Like every Subaru (except the BRZ), all trims of the WRX come equipped with Symmetrical All-wheel Drive and Active Torque Vectoring. The available adaptive suspension is ultra-smooth and helps the 2023 Subaru WRX in Albuquerque NM handle like a dream, letting you get the most out of its lively capabilities on the highway or the track. 

The 6-speed manual transmission now has optimized gear ratios and more refined shift quality. At the same time, the new Subaru Performance Transmission (SPT) offers faster downshifting, maintains the ideal ratio through corners, and responds quicker on corner exits. The SPT is available on all trims and comes standard on the new GT trim.

The wide-opening doors make entering and exiting easy, and once inside, you’ll have an excellent view forward thanks to the large windows. 

An all-new information display with dual 7-inch high-resolution touchscreens comes standard on the WRX. The top screen integrates Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, Bluetooth, Sirius® XM radio, AM/FM radio, backup camera, Travel Link®, and HD radio. You’ll find HVAC controls and vehicle settings on the bottom screen.
