The?Subaru Impreza WRX?is a?turbocharged?version of the?Subaru Impreza, an?all-wheel drive, four-door passenger vehicle. It is available as a sedan or wagon.
Originally introduced in 1992 in Japan, then shortly afterward in New Zealand, Australia and Europe, the WRX features a turbocharged 2.0L (then later a 2.5L) version of Subaru’sEJ series?flat-4 Boxer?engine. Compared to the base Impreza, the WRX also has wider wheels with lower profile tires, larger brakes, and firmer, higher-quality suspension components.
The Impreza WRX was first sold in North America in 2001 as a 2002 model year.
