Subaru has launched the WRX and WRX STI for the new model year, with pricing starting at $27,495 and $37,245 respectively, excluding destination.

The only novelty represents the introduction of keyless entry and go on the Premium trim level, a feature previously reserved for the WRX Limited.

The lineup kicks off with the base variant, offered with a 6.5-inch infotainment system with smartphone integration and Bluetooth, reversing camera, 5.9-inch multi-info LCD display, USB ports, electrically adjustable side mirrors, automatic climate control and several other amenities.

With additional gear, such as the 18-inch alloy wheels, fog lamps, power moonroof, heated front seats, larger infotainment screen, automatic headlights and windscreen wipers, the WRX Premium starts at $30,045.

Building on the Premium, the 2021 WRX Limited adds the steering responsive LED headlights, LED fog lamps and lumbar adjustment for the driver’s seat, from $32,095. This grade can be ordered with the $2,100 option package that adds the Harman Kardon premium sound system and Blind Spot Detection with Lane Change Assist and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert.
