For many years, Subaru models have not undergone any changes, and motorists are already used to the conservatism of the famous brand. However, a new all-wheel drive Subaru WRX debuted at the Los Angeles Auto Show last fall, and in 2014 Detroit hosted a motor show at which the 2.5 liter Subaru WRX STI model was presented.
Appearance of Subaru WRX 2015
The exterior of the new Subaru WRX does not change the style of the concept of the same name, which was first shown at the New York Motor Show. However, the version differs from the classic model - the front bumper looks somewhat aggressive, the wings and sills have become more extended, and the extended air intake on the hood seems to want to breathe deeply. A neat spoiler is located on the trunk lid, the exhaust system of the car is equipped with a pair of double pipes, and the overall appearance is adorned with original rims. The basic tire size is 235/45 R17.
Without losing presentability and elegance, the appearance of the new sedan still looks more dynamic, as sporty as possible and by its appearance alone commands respect. Its dimensions are 4,595 mm in length, 1,475 mm in height, 1,795 mm in width, the wheelbase has lengthened by 15 mm and is 2,650 mm, and the distance between the axles has also grown by 25 mm. The minimum ground clearance was 135 mm - the data is relevant with the curb weight of the car.
Salon Subaru VRX
The Japanese, apparently in response to criticism about being too conservative and monotonous, made the interior in a modern and attractive style that is highly ergonomic and comfortable. In the spacious interior there are comfortable sports-type seats, a multifunctional steering wheel with a slightly truncated rim is covered with leather. The center console is 3.5 inches diagonally, above it there is a multimedia system with a 4.3-inch display, as well as an additional screen on which all data on the operation of various systems will be displayed.
Better materials have been used for the interior than in previous models, and a Harman / Kardon premium audio system will be available as an option. By the way, this system is offered for the first time in this model.
Subaru VRX STI 2014-2015 has a fairly spacious cargo compartment (trunk), which is measured by 460 liters of cargo. The volume of the fuel tank is 60 liters.
Specifications Subaru WRX 2015
Manufacturers equipped the new 2014-2015 Subaru WRX with a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder turbo engine (borrowed from the Subaru Forester 4), the power of which is 268 horsepower with a torque of 350 Nm. This is a nice change when compared to the previous 265 horsepower engine that was 2.5 hp. Improvements are measured by only three forces and seven Newton meters more, however, it is very important that there is a wider range of development. The engine has become more responsive, and the economy reaches almost 20%. The transmission of the Subaru WRX 2014-2015 can be chosen - either a 6-speed manual gearbox or a Lineartronic variator. The lever of the six-speed mechanics has a clear and pleasant stroke, the clutch pedal has become much more sensitive. If you opt for a modified variator, then the acceleration occurs by only 0.3 seconds. slower than with a manual transmission (mechanics - 6.3 seconds with a fuel consumption of 8.6 liters, variator - 6.0 seconds, which requires 9.2 liters of gasoline). The variator is offered from "civilian" models, which are distinguished by the convenience of thrust control and the absence of any large delays.
The version with a manual gearbox has a central differential and a viscous clutch with a self-locking function, and in the case of a variator, the car is equipped with an "advanced" transmission, which is usually installed on Subaru with "automatic machines". For example, if we consider the Legacy GT model, the center differential has a planetary gear, and the hydraulic clutch is electronically controlled. Moreover, the latter emphasizes the effort on the rear wheel drive: under normal driving conditions, 55% of the torque is transmitted back.
Subaru WRX Top Speed with a manual transmission, it is limited to 215 km / h, and the CVT variator allows you to reach 240 km / h. And Subaru VRH STI boasts a top speed of 255 km per hour.
The Subaru WRX is equipped with electric power steering, the suspension is more rigid and the braking system is also reinforced. 17-inch tires have a dimension of 235/45, torsional rigidity increased by 9% when compared with the base version, and if we draw an analogy with the previous generation WRX, this figure is 41%.

Top configurations are additionally equipped with LED headlights, taillights and brake lights, and also receive a set of 17-inch alloy wheels, which are "shod" in Dunlop tires.
The new Subaru WRX boasts excellent handling, performance and speed thanks to a new chassis with increased rigidity, as well as strong suspension and braking systems. According to testers, the body stiffness, which has increased by 41%, contributes to the steering response being comparable to that of a Porsche 911, and the suspension exhibits excellent energy storage capacity.
The car responds to all actions instantly, according to the creator of the WRX Masuo Takatsu, we always wanted to achieve a high level of vehicle controllability, and today the latest technologies have allowed this to be done. He noted that the Japanese have always tried to preserve the "iron" Subaru base, resorting to beautiful engineering solutions, without the use of various robotic gearboxes and active differentials - and they succeeded perfectly.
