2017 Subaru WRX Premium VA MY18 AWD

2017 Subaru WRX VA MY18 Premium Sedan is a performance-focused all-wheel-drive sports sedan that blends everyday usability with serious turbocharged power, driven by a 2.0L turbocharged boxer engine producing 197kW and 350Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission and Subaru's Symmetrical AWD system for strong traction and engaging driving dynamics. 0-100km/h comes up in roughly the mid-6 second range depending on conditions, making it quick and responsive for both street and spirited driving. Interior is more refined than the base WRX, featuring leather-accented seats, a touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, satellite navigation, Bluetooth connectivity and dual-zone climate control. The Premium trim adds more comfort and convenience features while still keeping a driver-focused layout with supportive sports seats and clear instrumentation. Driving experience is where the WRX stands out, with sharp steering, strong turbo pull from low revs and a tight AWD chassis that delivers confident grip in all weather conditions. It's built for enthusiasts, offering an engaging manual gearbox and a sporty suspension setup that prioritises handling over softness. Safety is well covered with features such as autonomous emergency braking (on newer updates depending on build), blind-spot monitoring, rear camera, stability control and multiple airbags, contributing to a 5-star safety rating. Exterior styling is aggressive and iconic with a wide stance, bonnet scoop, rear spoiler, sporty body kit and 18-inch alloy wheels, giving it a true rally-inspired presence on the road.
