    Overview

    The 2017 Subaru WRX Base is a four-wheel drive, 4-door Sedan that was released to the Australian market on 4th January 1970. The Subaru WRX is regarded as a Small Luxury built in Japan with prices starting at $39,240 before on-road costs.

    This Subaru WRX is powered by a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine that has 197 kW of power (at 5600 rpm) and 350 Nm of torque (at 2400 rpm) via a Six-speed Manual transmission. Subaru claims the WRX Base uses 9.2L/100km of Premium Unleaded in the combined city and highway cycle while putting out 213g of CO2. It has a 60L fuel tank, meaning it should be able to travel 652km per full tank

The WRX Base comes standard with 245/45 R18 front tyres and 245/45 R18 rear tyres. It requires a service every 6 months or 12,500 km, whichever comes first. It has a 36 month, unlimited km warranty.
