2018 Subaru WRX Accessories & Parts

The Subaru WRX entered the 2018 model year with a range of updates concerning both performance and appearance. The vehicle looks more aggressive now thanks to a restyled front fascia. It comes with a new design of headlights, more pronounced grille, and lower and larger grille opening that ensures improved cooling and airflow. The 2018 Subaru WRX STI and WRX Limited offer LED Steering Responsive Headlights that increase visibility around corners swiveling in turns and resulting in enhanced safety. Besides, to deliver better collision performance, the front structure of the vehicle was bolstered. WRX Limited and Premium versions feature restyled 18” wheels, while the WRX STI comes with standard 19-inchers. The latter also received a performance braking system by Brembo.

Under the hood of the new WRX is a turbocharged 2.0 L direct-injected flat-four capable of 268 hp. It is mated to a new 6-speed manual that has a new synchro design allowing the gearbox to deliver improved feel and reduce friction. The engineers at Subaru significantly improved shifter feel for this transmission. A CVT with a manual shift mode is offered optionally. The 2018 WRX STI utilizes a turbocharged 2.5 L F4 good for 305 hp. The suspension of the model (both front and rear) was tuned to provide improved ride comfort and steering stability. At the same time, the WRX retained its excellent cornering performance capability. The electric power steering system was revised and now it delivers a smoother and more natural feel.

The 2018 Subaru WRX STI offers a comprehensive handling improvement that includes significantly upgraded brakes, revised DCCD system and suspension tuning, as featured on the standard WRX. The DCCD system now employs electronic control for a smoother and faster response. All versions of the 2018 WRX offer a rear seat armrest, quicker remote trunk opening, new interior door grips, and upgraded interior materials for better everyday usability. The model also provides increased noise reduction thanks to foam-filled windshield header beam, revised door sealing, and thicker door glass. The base version comes with heated exterior mirrors as standard. There is a new, larger multi-functional 5.9” display inside now, and the Premium grade comes with a new 7.0” Subaru Starlink multimedia unit.

For the 2018 model year, the Subaru WRX STI Type RA finally reaches North America, limited to the amount of 500 vehicles. Subaru's high-performance RA (“Record Attempt”) models trace back to 1988, when the Subaru Legacy set the World Speed Endurance Record by going over 62,000 miles in 18 days. In 2017, Subaru successfully attempted at breaking the record at Nürburgring as the fastest four-door sedan to lap this world-famous track. In honor of this record attempt, the WRX STI Type RA was created, which grabs an already capable AWD sedan and takes it a step further. Compared to the “regular” STI, it shaves off 68 lb thanks to a lightweight roof panel and rear wing made from carbon fiber, forged aluminum alloy wheels, and deleted spare tire. An increase in power is slight – the 2.5 L four-cylinder delivers additional 5 horsepower, making 310 horsepower in total. Most improvements are in the handling department – Bilstein shocks add responsiveness, aerodynamic body kit improves tire grip, while the overall lower weight helps improve steering response.
