Subaru has announced the debut of its performance-focused 2025 Subaru WRX tS at Wicked Big Meet, America’s largest Subaru enthusiast festival, on June 2. The WRX tS (tuned by STI) trim level features enhanced performance, handling, and ride comfort, courtesy of a new STI-tuned suspension with electronically controlled dampers. The vehicle also boasts distinctive interior and exterior accents and a new fully digital gauge cluster. The WRX tS will be available at Subaru retailers nationwide early next year.
Performance and Handling
The WRX tS is equipped with a high-performance Brembo braking system, featuring 6-piston front and 2-piston rear calipers in signature gold color, along with larger pads and rotors for improved stopping power, fade resistance, and pedal feel. Standard 245/35 R19 Bridgestone Potenza S007 tires provide superior grip and braking performance. The Drive Mode Select system, previously exclusive to the WRX GT, allows drivers to adjust the STI-tuned dampers for Comfort, Normal, and Sport settings, tailoring the vehicle’s dynamic performance to individual preferences.
Aggressive Design
The WRX tS sports a wide-body design, aggressive stance, and bold look. Key exterior features include Subaru’s signature hexagonal grille, compact headlights, a broad front hood scoop, and Crystal Black Silica finishes on exterior mirrors, roof-mounted shark fin antenna, and rear spoiler. The rear deck lid displays the tS badge, while the rear taillights have a volcanic magma-inspired glow. The WRX tS comes standard with striking 19-inch multi-spoke wheels in a satin gray finish.
Interior and Technology
Inside, the WRX tS features a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster that offers improved legibility and additional information such as map display and route guidance. The interior is enhanced with blue accents, Recaro Performance Design front seats, black Ultrasuede® upholstery with blue accents, and “WRX tS” logos on the headrests and floormats. The Subaru STARLINK 11.6-inch Multimedia Plus system is standard, offering a high-definition touchscreen for multimedia, climate control, and vehicle settings, along with wireless Apple CarPlay®, wireless Android Auto™, and other connectivity options.
Safety and Powertrain
The WRX tS includes Subaru’s award-winning EyeSight Driver Assist Technology, featuring Adaptive Cruise Control, Pre-Collision Braking System, Lane Departure and Sway Warning, and Lead Vehicle Start Alert. Under the hood, the WRX tS houses a 2.4-liter turbocharged Subaru BOXER® engine, delivering 271 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. The vehicle also features Subaru’s Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and Active Torque Vectoring for superior handling and stability.
