2022 Subaru WRX finally gets a new debut date

KUALA LUMPUR: As the 2021 New York International Auto Show called off due to the continuing COVID-19 pandemic, the all-new 2022 Subaru WRX reveal got delayed. It will now be introduced on September 10, 2021, i.e. eight days after the Forester Wilderness, which was also intended to make a public appearance at the same show.

The Japanese automaker revealed this information on its social media handle along with a teaser video, which offers the so far best look of the upcoming performance sedan.

Based on the latest Impreza, the next-generation WRX will underpin Subaru’s Global Platform. The new architecture is likely to enhance the car’s dimensions. As per the reports, it would be 4650 mm long, 1850 mm wide, and 1450 mm tall, with a wheelbase of 2670 mm. 

In terms of design, it seems to get an aggressive front end with a prominent grille and swept-back headlamps as per the teased shots. A hood scoop, plastic body cladding, dual exhaust, black rims, and a rear spoiler are the other things we can figure out from the clip. As far as the interior is concerned, it still remains a mystery.

Just like that, the 2022 Subaru WRX engine details are not known yet. However, the industry rumours suggest a new turbocharged 2.4-litre four-cylinder engine with a maximum output of 300 hp. The same engine can be found under the Subaru Outback where it generates 260 horsepower and 375 Nm of torque. 

As for the transmission, a recent report published by Drive confirms the continuation of a typical manual transmission with a handbrake lever. Well, a Sport Lineartronic CVT automatic may also be on the cards.

After making its global debut next month, the new Subaru WRX will go on sale in the US later this year.
