Check Out the New 2018 Subaru WRX Here in Lyme, CT

When it comes to most of the new cars found at our Lyme, CT Subaru dealer serving Norwich, New London and Middletown, most share plenty of similarities in styling and technology and performance. The new 2018 Subaru WRX certainly fits in when it comes to some of those qualities, but it really stands out for its design, performance and its heritage as a rally sports car. See what to expect out of this sport sedan by checking out what to expect in terms of performance, safety and design, then come over to our Lyme Subaru dealer today to get started.

Styling and Design: Interior and Exterior

From the start, the new 2018 WRX looks like a car that's ready to go. Long in front and riding low, you can choose the STI edition that adds a rear spoiler - along with performance and tech upgrades - and you'll appreciate the attention paid to every little detail when it comes to design. Inside, the sporty attitude continues with carbon black checkered cloth and a cockpit that makes sure the driver is in command, whether it's in terms of using the easy and safe tech features, or simply leaning back and letting the WRX do its thing.

Performance

With standard AWD, vehicle dynamics control with active torque vectoring, track-tuned suspension and quick-ratio steering, it's clear what really makes the new 2018 WRX a rally sports car. The base level turbocharged four-cylinder offers 268 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, which is more than enough to get the lightweight frame of the new WRX going. If you want more power, choose the STI edition, which offers a more powerful turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder that generates 305 horsepower and 290 pound-feet of torque.

Safety

Though the design and performance aspects of the new WRX are thrilling in all kinds of way, this is still a Subaru, so you know safety is key. A hidden benefit of the Subaru Boxer engine design and placement is that in the event of a head-on collision, the impact won't be quite as damaging to passengers. Beyond that intelligent design, the WRX comes available with adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, automatic high beams and more in certain setups.
