Subaru WRX
In 2019, the WRX welcomes a new Sport-tech RS model featuring a six-speed manual gearbox, Recaro sports seats wrapped in leather and Ultrasuede, as well as Jurid brake pads with red callipers. A limited edition based on this very model and exclusive to Canada, the WRX Raiu, further stands out with aerodynamic add-ons and cosmetic upgrades. Meanwhile, the WRX STI benefits from various engine enhancements that increase output from 305 to 310 horsepower and allow quicker sprints.
