Subaru announced the official prices for the 2025 WRX this week, and the base price has gone up a lot. The 2025 Premium with a manual transmission costs $35,750 ($36,920 with destination), which is the least expensive model. The 2024 Subaru WRX Base, equipped with a manual transmission, is priced at $32,735 ($33,855 including destination). With sales tax, it costs $40,000 in New York. The stated price of the Premium went up by about $1,000. You should check to see if you can still get a ’24 if you’re thinking about getting a new WRX. MSRP is a suggestion. Some sellers can get you out the door for about the same amount of money on a ’25 as on a ’24 because they look pretty much the same. The base model and the sporty WRX TR, on the other hand, are no longer offered. One remarkable new option exclusive to the latest vehicle is the Galaxy Purple Pearl Premium Paint. I hope that some people will take advantage of the chance to see it in person since it only costs $395. There are unconfirmed reports that the Solar Orange color will be removed from the market. We’ll know for sure when Subaru’s press staff gets back from vacation or when the WRX build-and-price widget is updated to 2025. The other more expensive choice for 2025 WRXs is the Harmon Kardon radio and sunroof package, which costs $1,865. All WRX trims have the same engine, chassis, and suspension layout. The car’s main parts are also the same. An old Base car and a Premium were different in that the Base didn’t have fog lights, had 17-inch wheels instead of 18s, and didn’t have many choices. I know this sounds like the cheesiest car-dork statement ever, but the fact that the Base still had a physical key is what I miss most about it not being there. It’s old-fashioned, but I still like turning a key to start an engine the old-fashioned way. Other improvements include Ultrasuede leather trim on the seats and better soundproofing in the WRX Limited. The WRX tS is now the performance model. It has 19-inch wheels, a six-speed manual transmission, Recaro front seats, and Brembo brakes on both the front and back axles. The automatic gearbox, custom suspension tuning, and comfortable seats in the WRX GT make it stand out. There has yet to be a wagon or extreme STI version, so if you want to make a very fast 2025 WRX, you will have to use aftermarket parts. Not only that but these cars have already been used to produce huge amounts of power.
