Used 2021 Subaru WRX Sedan Trims Comparison

Base
A base WRX is somewhat of a performance bargain. It lacks some of the creature comforts you'll find on other trims, but it does offer the same level of performance as other non-STI models. Standard features include:

• 17-inch wheels with performance tires
• Manually adjustable front seats
• Leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter
• Two USB ports
• Automatic climate control
• 6.5-inch infotainment screen
• Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration

Premium
The WRX Premium includes all of the base trim's features, adding:

• Optional automatic transmission
• Sunroof
• 18-inch wheels with performance tires
• Foglights
• Keyless entry with push-button start
• Automatic headlights
• 7-inch infotainment display
• All-Weather package
• Windshield wiper de-icer
• Heated front seats

Automatic-equipped models also include Subaru's EyeSight driver assist system that includes:

• Adaptive cruise control (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the vehicle and the car in front)
• Forward collision mitigation (warns if a front impact is imminent and applies the brakes if you don't respond in time)
• Lane departure warning (alerts you if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane)

Limited
The Limited trim builds off the WRX Premium with:

• LED headlights and foglights
• Power-adjustable driver's seat
• Leather upholstery

An option package for the Limited adds:

• Navigation system
• Harman Kardon audio system
• Blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert (warns you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)
• Reverse automatic emergency braking (CVT-equipped only; warns if a front impact is imminent and applies the brakes if you don't respond in time)

STI
The WRX STI is the hottest and most powerful model in Subaru's lineup. It's only available with a six-speed manual transmission with shorter gearing than the WRX's manual, so EyeSight isn't available. Standard features generally mirror those on the WRX Limited. Changes and upgrades include:

• 19-inch wheels with performance tires
• Adjustable drive modes
• Adjustable center differential
• Quicker-ratio steering
• STI-tuned suspension
• Brembo brakes
• STI rear spoiler
• Manually adjustable front seats
• Leather and simulated suede upholstery
• Dual-zone automatic climate control
• No sunroof
• No foglights
• Optional Recaro front sport seats

STI Limited
The top-level WRX model features all of the STI's performance upgrades. Additional features include:

• Sunroof
• Front Recaro sport seats
• Power-adjustable driver's seat
• Navigation system and Harman Kardon audio system
• Blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert
• Optional low-profile spoiler
