Recently, with the listing of Subaru WRX in overseas markets, it has once again attracted the attention of many domestic "JDM fans" to the past. However, this is understandable, after all, subaru WRX is one of the few faith totems in the hearts of "JDM fans".
The Subaru WRX released in overseas markets is the fifth generation of the redesigned model, starting at 30,100 US dollars , equivalent to 190,800 yuan ) , and four models have been launched, namely WRX, WRX Premium, WRX Limited and WRX GT.
It is reported that the new Subaru WRX will be based on Subaru's global platform SGP, and will retain the manual version of the model, after all, the manual model is the soul of the Subaru WRX.
Judging from the pictures of new cars released in overseas markets, the new generation of Subaru WRX continues the Design Language of the Subaru family, and the hexagonal central grid is a honeycomb grille inside, with a headlight group similar to the "boomerang" on both sides, highlighting the sporty atmosphere of the whole vehicle.
Above the lid are Subaru's signature air intakes, a design that highlights the new car's sense of power in addition to allowing the new car to have more air intake.
In order to reduce the wind resistance coefficient of the vehicle, the side shape of the new Subaru WRX looks more low, the vehicle door panel is embellished with multiple waist lines to make it look more flexible, and the scratch-resistant strip above the wheel brow can prevent the vehicle from being bumped.
In addition, in order to ensure that the vehicle has sufficient support when cornering, the torsional stiffness of the vehicle has increased by 28%, and the stiffness of the suspension mounting point has been increased by 75%, enabling the vehicle to enter the corner more calmly.
The most attractive thing about the tail is the taillight shape, which is also similar to the "boomerang" type taillight shape, which also echoes the headlights, and the upper part of the taillights is connected by a black trim plate, making the rear of the car look layered.
The layout of the exhaust port adopts a bilateral four-out design, with a large area of black spoilers above and below, so that the rear vehicle can feel that the car is "not good" at a glance.
The interior changes are not very good in today's market environment, but compared to the old models, the interior of the new car has made significant progress.
The 11.6-inch central control screen installed on the center console has built-in Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functions, and the physical buttons below the center control are also retained, which helps the driver to operate blindly while driving the vehicle.
In addition, the EyeSight driver assistance system, which is Subaru's signature, will also appear as standard on the new WRX.
As the biggest highlight of the new car, the new WRX is equipped with Subaru's proud 2.4-liter turbo horizontally opposed engine, which has a maximum power of 202Kw (271Ps) and a maximum torque of 349N·m, and the matching drivetrain is a 6-speed manual transmission and a CVT transmission.
In addition, Subaru has also prepared a high-performance transmission (SPT) for the new car, which can increase the efficiency of upshift by 30%, and the downshift speed is 50% faster, so that users can get faster power response.
Although the gearbox shifts more quickly, for a performance car like the Subaru WRX, users should be more inclined to manual models.
With the listing of the fifth generation of Subaru WRX in overseas markets, the domestic "JDM" powder can be described as red-eyed, but due to the strict emission requirements of the domestic market, the new Subaru WRX is obviously not in the domestic market, which also confirms the sentence of "success is also Xiao He, defeat is also Xiao He".
But then again, even if Subaru (China) introduces a new WRX, there is a high probability that only a small number of models will be introduced, after all, in the concept of the Chinese people, "fun" is far less important than pragmatic.
However, friends who really like this car should not be too disappointed, maybe there is a Subaru WRX parked in the parallel import market?
