While rally fans in Washington PA won't be seeing any major changes to the 2017 Subaru WRX--the third model-year in the vehicle's five-year cycle--there are some exciting new updates for this iconic sedan that will ensure that it stays in high demand.
Updates and New Features for the 2017 Model:
- New premium tricot headliner
- Standard auto on/off headlights for WRX STI
- Blind Spot Detection and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert are now standard on all STI models
- Reverse automatic braking standard on WRX Limited with EyeSight
- Minor price changes
Horsepower and torque, transmission options, and All-Wheel Drive stay the same from the 2016 model year, as well as body style options. Both 2017 WRX and STI models are available only as a four-door sedan, but we can look forward to the possibility of a hatchback in the future. With the production of an all-new platform for the Impreza, Subaru may be expanding their vehicle options in the future.
You still have choice of the 268-horsepower WRX or the 305-horsepower WRX STI, both with standard features like Bluetooth audio connectivity, touchscreen STARLINK infotainment, and more.

We can expect the 2017 WRX and STI to arrive in the new Subaru lineup in just a few weeks--keep an eye on inventory, or contact Budd Baer Subaru for more information about pre-ordering.
