Subaru has released pricing details for the performance-packed 2017 WRX and the WRX STI. The 2017 Subaru WRX, available in standard, Premium, and Limited trims, starts at $26,695, which marks a $100 increase over the outgoing model. The WRX STI is offered in standard and Limited trims, with a starting MSRP of $35,195. The price for the Limited ($39,995) remains unchanged over last year. All models carry an additional $820 destination and delivery charge.
New for 2017, both the WRX and the WRX STI get tricot headliners. In addition, the WRX STI base model now gets auto on/off headlights in auto mode position with windshield wiper operation; previously, this had only been available on Premium and higher. Standard on all trims levels is the power window auto up/down function for front windows, including anti-pinch protection.
The 2017 Subaru WRX is motivated by a 2.0-liter direct injection turbo BOXER engine, which lays out 268 horsepower. Its “rally-bred” performance is enhanced by a six-speed manual gearbox and Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive.

The 2017 Subaru WRX STI brings even more power to the segment with its 2.5-liter turbocharged and intercooled BOXER engine, good for 305 horsepower. On the Limited, drivers can go with a low-profile trunk spoiler instead of the large signature wing, at no extra cost.
