1. Show-stopping engine

If you have a need for speed, you'll appreciate the 2021 Subaru WRX. It comes standard with a 268-hp 2L four-cylinder engine.

2. Practical interior

The 2021 Subaru WRX may be designed for performance, but it has a dose of practicality as well. The sedan seats five and has enough rear legroom (35.4 inches) to fit a couple of child car seats. The trunk provides 12.5 cu-ft of cargo space, enough for a stroller or golf clubs. In short, this is a sports car that can handle day-to-day driving for parents, sports enthusiasts, and commuters alike.

3. Standard all-wheel drive

Whether you're navigating snow-covered roads or looking for a bit of extra traction on the track, you'll appreciate that all trims of the 2021 Subaru WRX come standard with all-wheel drive.
