Sedan
car_truckFresh from Subaru’s latest wave of performance updates, this 2024 Subaru WRX RS All-Wheel Drive sedan channels the newest generation’s sharper dynamics and smarter technology into a compact, driver-focused package with just 7,172 kilometres on the odometer. It is a pre-owned vehicle that still feels very much like a contemporary performance benchmark, blending turbocharged power, advanced driver assistance, and everyday usability into one purposeful four-door.
At the heart of this WRX RS is a 2.4L H-4 intercooled turbocharged engine producing 271 horsepower, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission for genuine driver engagement. Subaru’s Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and sport ride suspension work together to deliver confident traction and composed handling in a wide range of conditions. Gas-pressurized shocks, front strut and independent rear double wishbone suspension, and Brembo 4-wheel ventilated disc brakes with cross-drilled/slotted rotors and red painted calipers underscore its performance intent, while the stainless steel quasi-dual exhaust with polished finisher adds a suitably purposeful tone.
Inside, the cabin is anchored by an 11.6-inch primary touchscreen display that serves as the command centre for connectivity and vehicle settings.
Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto take a starring role, allowing you to mirror your smartphone without plugging in, stream audio, access maps, and manage calls and messages through the large touchscreen or voice commands. The emphasis on these systems makes the WRX RS feel modern and intuitive in daily use, with Bluetooth handsfree connectivity, Bluetooth audio streaming, and voice-activated audio controls further smoothing the experience. AM/FM/SiriusXM satellite radio, Aha internet radio capability, real-time weather information, external memory control, and six speakers round out a comprehensive infotainment suite.
Driver assist and safety technology are extensive. Subaru’s EyeSight system provides Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist, Pre-Collision Braking with forward collision mitigation and pedestrian impact prevention, and Sway Warning driver attention alert.
Lane Centring Assist offers hands-on cruising support, while Subaru Rear/Side Vehicle Detection (blind spot warning) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert enhance awareness around the vehicle. A rear mounted camera, seven airbags including driver knee airbag, curtain airbags, and seat-mounted side airbags, along with 4-wheel ABS, traction control, electronic stability control, and brake assist, contribute to a robust safety package.
The RS trim’s interior emphasizes both support and style. Recaro sport front bucket seats with simulated suede and leatherette upholstery offer excellent lateral support, paired with an 8-way power driver’s seat featuring reclining, fore/aft, height and cushion tilt adjustments. The front passenger seat provides manual reclining and fore/aft control. Heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, rear under-seat climate ducts, and full carpet floor coverage improve comfort in all seasons.
A leather steering wheel, leather gear shifter, simulated carbon fibre and metal-look door inserts, leatherette instrument panel and door trim, and chrome/metal-look interior accents give the cabin a purposeful yet refined feel.
Practicality is not overlooked. The WRX RS offers 60/40 folding rear seats for added cargo flexibility, a trunk with concealed cargo storage, rear bench seating with a centre armrest, and multiple storage areas including covered floor console storage, door bins, and a seatback pocket. There are four USB ports, two 12V power outlets, and eight beverage holders to keep passengers powered and organized. Convenience touches include keyfob keyless entry with trunk control, Smart key with hands-free access and push-button start, HomeLink garage door opener, auto-dimming rearview mirror, illuminated entry, and retained accessory power.
Externally, this WRX RS carries an assertive stance with 19 x 8.5-inch grey aluminum wheels wrapped in P245/35YR19 summer performance tires, a rear lip spoiler, rocker panel extensions, LED low and high beam headlights, LED daytime running lights, LED front fog lights, Steering Responsive Headlights, and High Beam Assist.
Body-coloured bumpers, mirrors, and door handles are contrasted by black trim elements around the windows, bumpers, and wheel wells, while integrated turn signals in the door mirrors and a high-mounted centre stop light add both style and visibility.
With low mileage, advanced technology centred on wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a turbocharged 2.4L engine, and Subaru’s renowned Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, this 2024 Subaru WRX RS sedan delivers an engaging, modern, and practical performance experience for drivers who want everyday usability without giving up genuine enthusiast credentials.
