The Subaru WRX is renowned for its performance and rally heritage. Originating from the Impreza platform, it was specifically engineered to compete in the World Rally Championship (WRC) starting in 1992. The "WRX" acronym stands for "World Rally eXperimental," highlighting its focus on high-performance driving and rally-inspired capabilities.
In 2015, Subaru made the strategic decision to separate the WRX lineup from the Impreza, giving it a distinct identity and body style. This change meant that the WRX would no longer offer a hatchback or wagon variant, which had been part of its offering in previous generations. Instead, Subaru introduced the Levorg as a separate model to cater to those seeking a more practical wagon option.
With its all-wheel drive system, turbocharged engine, and sport-tuned suspension, the WRX has become a favorite among driving enthusiasts who value both speed and handling, particularly in various weather conditions. Its roots in motorsport continue to influence its design and performance characteristics.
