2015 Subaru WRX, STI Models Priced: WRX Gets Big Value Boost

Subaru has at last put a price tag—well a series of price tags—on its redesigned 2015 Subaru WRX lineup. And at the same time, it's rolled out all the numbers for the 2015 Subaru WRX STI.

With new features and much-improved performance, and prices bumped up negligibly if at all, the 2015 WRX is looking like a stronger performance value than ever—and one that you could drive year-round, as opposed to a lot of other performance models.

As we already know, the five-door models are gone from the lineup, and both models are now built on a stronger, wide-body sedan body style. WRX models get a stronger, 268-horsepower 2.0-liter direct-injection turbocharged flat-four engine, with an available Lineartronic CVT (and two modes of manual shift control). Jump up to the manual-only STI and you get an even stiffer chassis, plus firmer suspension tuning, serious performance-hardware upgrades, and quicker steering—plus that model's carry-over 305-hp, 2.5-liter turbo engine.

And now Subaru has priced the 2015 Subaru WRX lineup that arrives this next month—as well as the high-performance WRX STI that's on the way just a short time later.

WRX adds lots of value for the money

The base-model 2015 Subaru WRX, which features the six-speed manual gearbox only, starts at $27,090. That's a modest $300 higher than last year, which relatively speaking is a great deal considering the expanded standard-feature content—now adding automatic climate control, a rear camera system, and an upgraded audio system with Bluetooth hands-free calling and audio streaming, HD Radio, Sirius/XM satellite radio compatibility, USB/iPod controls, and iTunes tagging.

Destination and delivery for Subaru's 2015 models remains $795, as for 2014.

Mid-range WRX Premium models are the same price as last year, and they add an All-Weather Package that includes heated front seats, heated mirrors, and a windshield wiper de-icer, as well as fog lamps, a trunk spoiler, and a moonroof.

At the top of the line, the WRX Limited adds leather upholstery, a power driver's seat, LED low-beam headlights, and a 'Welcome Lighting' feature. Its price is $700 higher than the 2014 WRX Limited, which did not include leather, which did not include the power seat or lighting features.
