No three letters stir the same desire as W R X and the latest generation Subaru performance car arriving in New Zealand inherits this model's DNA, which has been forged in the dust, mud and snow of rally stages worldwide.
Subaru of New Zealand has upped the ante with new 2024 WRX and is launching solely the range-topping tS models in sedan and wagon variants this month. The WRX tS sedan and WRX GT tS wagon are both equipped with the 8-speed Subaru Performance Transmission and are priced at RRP $67,990.
The 2024 Subaru WRX tS continues to deliver on the core promise of adrenaline-pumping fun and thrills, packaged in a super-safe, robust and solidly engineered chassis and body, that sets the global trend for affordable performance.
The entertainment and safety features for both the eye-catching sedan and dynamic wagon receive the clarity of 10 premium Harman Kardon® speakers, subwoofer and, plus wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ for seamless connection.
Staying charged and ready for action is now easier too, with both models featuring a new USB-C port to power up all the latest devices.
As far as choosing a hue that’s you, the WRX tS wagon adds a new Asteroid Grey Pearl exterior colour and Ceramic White, replaces Crystal White Pearl.
Subaru of New Zealand General Manager Tim Barns-Lawton says an exhilarating driving experience remains at the heart of the 2024 Subaru WRX.
“The WRX takes pride of place in garages all over New Zealand and sets the benchmark against which all other performance cars are judged. The 2024 models deliver 202kW of power and 350Nm of torque, via a 2.4L turbocharged Boxer engine, which equates to 270 horsepower.”
“All that brawn is kept under control courtesy of Subaru’s All-Wheel Drive, while the Subaru Performance Transmission and 8-speed paddle shift gives Kiwi drivers faster shifting and better downshift blipping control,” Barns-Lawton adds.
WRX was the original turbocharged ‘pocket rocket’ when it was launched in Japan in 1992, and since then this Subaru has risen to cult status. Fuelled by the passion that comes from pure performance and heart-pumping adrenaline, WRX has been revered by thrill-seeking motorsports enthusiasts worldwide.
As it enters its 2024 iteration, the Subaru WRX tS models’ performance has been more than matched by advanced features usually reserved for vehicles with a luxury price tag.
