It uses the new 2.0-liter FA20F engine, which has direct injection and a twin-scroll turbocharger. Facelift Powertrain Subaru WRX (VA) enginesģ50 N⋅m model is the first of the WRX line to deviate from the EJ-series engine.
The previous generation hatchback made up approximately 50 percent of US WRX and WRX STI sales. For this generation, Subaru decided to not produce a WRX or WRX STI hatchback as had been previously offered. The VA-body WRX is based on a modified Impreza body and chassis, with the Impreza name dropped from the WRX in all markets. Subaru had promised to completely move the WRX and STI off the Impreza chassis and body to create a standalone model. The rear doors received a subtle reskin with an upwards kink and revised character line, but retained an otherwise identical shape. However, the entire front end bodywork plus the rear quarter panels were unique to the WRX. The general WRX profile/silhouette was carried over from the Impreza, as were the front doors, trunk lid, and interior. The body design also took a stronger departure from the Impreza donor model than in the past. The WRX and WRX STI are the performance model based on the GJ/GP Impreza with higher output engines, firmer suspension, larger brakes, slightly resculpted body panels, lowered ride height and larger intakes. This time, the Impreza name was dropped in all markets in which the new model is named simply as the WRX, as had been the case in North America with the previous model, while in Japan it was sold as the WRX S4.
For the VA series WRX released in 2014 for the 2015 model year, Subaru decided to move away from marketing the WRX and WRX STI under the Impreza name.
