You may already know how MotorTrend feels about the new 2022 Subaru WRX based on our First Drive coverage. Subaru’s latest take on its rally-inspired AWD sport sedan is, as senior features editor Jonny Lieberman described it, “fun, if not great, to drive, shockingly competent at sticking to pavement, practical, and a true performance bargain. ”
When we inquired at that drive event, the Subaru representatives were surprisingly tight-lipped regarding a 0-60-mph estimate. Not only that, but following the automaker’s announcement that it will not build a higher-performance WRX STI based on the same platform, it’s also curious that the 2022 WRX has almost identical power and torque figures to its predecessor.
