ALL LINE 2012
Trust what’s inside to inspire confidence and ignite excitement. You live in a fast-paced world, a world that is changing at the speed of thought. At Subaru, we are right there with you – designing, engineering and building vehicles that inspire confidence. Confidence in a brand, confidence in knowing that the vehicle chosen will complement your busy lifestyle, and the confidence that derives from the peace of mind and sheer driving pleasure that are built into every Subaru. All of this results in a tangible connection to your vehicle that engages your emotions, anticipates your needs, and protects you and your surroundings. So you can trust what’s inside a Subaru to give you a high level of confidence at every turn, but you’ll have to step inside to discover it for yourself.

Trust Balance that performs. Trust Design that invigorates. Trust Experience that protects.
03
Trust balance to captivate the road. What’s inside a Subaru is a one-of-a-kind combination of engine, suspension and all-wheel drive that brings the driving experience to life. (Of course, we’re not talking about just ordinary components, but rather the three pillars of the legendary Subaru symmetrical full-time AWD system.) Exceptional balance and poise brings power into harmony with control. The result is a feeling of being connected to the road that can only be described as intuitive. And a profound level of confidence and excitement every time

Confidence
comes from its core.
There are a number of reasons why Subaru drivers experience an unsurpassed level of confidence behind the wheel – and it all comes down to our philosophy and our core technology. This thinking begins with the Subaru symmetrical full-time All-Wheel Drive system, which is standard on every 2012 Subaru model. This world-class system links the SUBARU BOXER engine, transmission and differentials symmetrically along the centreline of the vehicle, which sets the stage for superb balance, nimble handling and genuine fun combined with superior all-road, all-weather traction and control. The immense benefits of the drivetrain layout are augmented by a long travel, fully independent suspension system that helps ensure superior contact with the surface of the road at all times, boosting driver confidence even further. These technologies did not happen by chance. Rather, they are the result of some four decades of diligent effort on the part of our engineers to give drivers an experience behind the wheel that is far from typical. Thus, from a single core philosophy – to inspire driver confidence – great things have emerged. (And this is just the start.)
06
WHAT’S INSIDE: Every 2012 Subaru model comes standard with the world-renowned Subaru symmetrical full-time AWD system, comprised of a horizontally opposed SUBARU BOXER engine, full-time All-Wheel Drive and fully independent, long-travel suspension.
WHAT IT DOES: This system provides numerous benefits to the driver, all of which lead to heightened confidence behind the wheel and increased driving pleasure. Superior traction and control – under all possible road and weather conditions – is matched by exceptional stability, nimble handling and remarkable manoeuvrability.
Symmetrical Full-Time AWD System: The Advantages
SUBARU BOXER ENGINE
OTHER ENGINE TYPES
GREATER TRACTION
SUPERIOR STABILITY
GREATER MANOEUVRABILITY
Traction generates control and control inspires confidence: When driving in bad weather or reacting suddenly to avoid a potential accident, Subaru symmetrical full-time AWD delivers exceptional traction – and therefore extraordinary confidence – because it can keep all four wheels engaged at all times.*
Due to its horizontally opposed configuration, the SUBARU BOXER engine has a flatter profile and can therefore be placed lower in the vehicle than other engine configurations. This creates a lower centre of gravity for the entire vehicle, which then sets the stage for more balanced handling, flatter cornering capabilities and superior stability overall.
The symmetrical layout of the system delivers power more smoothly and distributes that power among all four wheels* for more precise, responsive and satisfying handling and control in virtually all driving conditions. These characteristics, combined with the finely tuned suspension system and superior all-wheel-drive traction, create razor-sharp response for more driving satisfaction, increased control and greater confidence.

The measure
of performance.
SUBARU BOXER ENGINES A crucial element of the Subaru symmetrical full-time AWD system is the SUBARU BOXER engine. The horizontally opposed configuration of this engine sees the pistons placed 180 degrees apart, creating a lower and flatter profile compared to other engine types and lowering the centre of gravity for the vehicle overall. This engine type is also inherently smoother because the movement of one bank of pistons counteracts that of the other, which then reduces engine vibration. The new Subaru fleet includes a wide array of SUBARU BOXER engines that are noted for their superior performance, efficiency and smoothness – and their ability to generate sheer driving pleasure.
2.0L NATURALLY ASPIRATED (4-CYLINDER) From its free-breathing intake to its free-flowing exhaust, the 2.0L DOHC SUBARU BOXER makes driving seem effortless and exhilarating all at the same time. The design of this brand new, next-generation engine creates natural balance and smoothness, while the Dual Active Valve Control System produces dynamic low-end response. When paired with the Lineartronic® CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission), this engine delivers inspiring performance with a modest appetite for fuel. Available on 2012 Impreza models.
2.5L NATURALLY ASPIRATED (4-CYLINDER) The naturally aspirated 2.5L SUBARU BOXER comes in a number of different variations, all offering remarkable performance, refreshing efficiency and minimal emissions. The 4-cylinder SOHC in the Legacy and Outback is naturally smooth and strong – and when combined with the Lineartronic CVT, delivers comparable fuel efficiency to the average two-wheel-drive sedan or crossover. The new-generation 4-cylinder DOHC in the Forester has been optimized to reduce fuel consumption and emissions, while delivering rewarding response across a wide range of engine speeds. For even greater eco-friendliness, the 2.5L SUBARU BOXER in the Legacy, Outback and Forester can be combined with PZEV equipment to reduce smog-forming emissions to near zero without any adverse effect on performance. Unique variations available on 2012 Forester, Legacy and Outback models.
08
2.5L TURBOCHARGED (4-CYLINDER) The award-winning, turbocharged 2.5L DOHC SUBARU BOXER combines the immediate gratification and long-lasting pleasures of sports-car performance, low emissions and welcome fuel efficiency. The high-flow intercooler, Active Valve Control System* and virtually no turbo lag result in linear response and a continuous rush of acceleration. With a highly rigid design and natural balance, this engine is as strong as it is smooth, ensuring endless miles of driving enjoyment for the road ahead. The engine in the WRX STI benefits from significantly higher boost and a free-flowing, quad-tipped exhaust to create instant acceleration, inspiring response, and an intoxicating sound across the entire rev range. Unique variations available on 2012 Legacy, Forester, WRX and WRX STI models. * Dual Active Valve Control System on Legacy 2.5GT and WRX STI models.
3.6L NATURALLY ASPIRATED (6-CYLINDER) The largest, most refined engine in the Subaru fleet features low internal friction and impressive rigidity, which serve to reduce noise, vibration, emissions and fuel consumption. The result is very smooth and quiet power delivery, surprising efficiency and remarkable eco-friendliness – all on regular unleaded fuel. Light, compact and perfectly balanced by design, this 3.6L 6-cylinder DOHC SUBARU BOXER also features the Dual Active Valve Control System for impressive torque and driveability. Available on 2012 Legacy, Outback and Tribeca models.
TRANSMISSIONS + AWD Subaru symmetrical full-time AWD systems are designed for optimum performance and efficiency on all roads, in all seasons, at all times. To capitalize on these characteristics, each version of the system is matched to another key element of the drivetrain – a transmission that is perfectly calibrated to extract maximum performance and efficiency. In all, there are four different AWD systems in the current Subaru lineup and six different transmissions.
LINEARTRONIC
CVT
+ MULTI-PLATE TRANSFER CLUTCH AWD The ideal link between the smooth power of the SUBARU BOXER engine and the confident control of Subaru symmetrical full-time AWD is the advanced Lineartronic CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission). This production-car first – a CVT longitudinally paired with AWD that uses a chain instead of a belt – allows for a near-infinite selection of gear ratios, keeping the engine in the most favourable rpm range at all times. This design creates improved performance and outstanding fuel efficiency, as well as faster response to throttle input. The Lineartronic CVT is also specifically tuned to provide a more natural feel than other designs for instant response on demand with minimal application of the accelerator pedal. The overall result is pure Subaru: performance, smoothness and efficiency in perfect balance. Unique variations available on 2012 Impreza, Legacy and Outback models.
4EAT (4-speed Electronic Automatic Transmission with Manual Mode) + MULTI-PLATE TRANSFER CLUTCH AWD Available on 2012 Subaru Forester models.
5EAT (5-speed Electronic Automatic Transmission with Manual Mode) + VARIABLE TORQUE DISTRIBUTION AWD Available on 2012 Subaru Legacy, Outback and Tribeca models.
5MT (5-speed Manual Transmission) + VISCOUS-COUPLING LIMITED-SLIP CENTRE DIFFERENTIAL AWD Available on 2012 Subaru Forester, Impreza and WRX models.
6MT (6-speed Manual Transmission) + VISCOUS-COUPLING LIMITED-SLIP CENTRE DIFFERENTIAL AWD Available on 2012 Subaru Legacy and Outback models.
6MT (6-speed close ratio Manual Transmission) + MULTI-MODE DCCD AWD (DRIVER CONTROLLED CENTRE DIFFERENTIAL ALL-WHEEL DRIVE) Available on 2012 Subaru WRX STI models.
SUSPENSION The Subaru symmetrical full-time AWD system would not be complete without the fully independent suspension system. All Subaru models feature a strut-type front suspension with a wide track and long wheel travel. The double-wishbone rear suspension, also on all models, handles rough roads and sharp corners with both poise and precision – ensuring maximum tire contact, minimum vibration and significantly improved ride quality. Together, these characteristics deliver flatter cornering, as well as a quieter, more comfortable ride over a variety of road surfaces. This suspension system was developed over 30 years of competition in the FIA World Rally Championship, so it’s endured a brutal baptism by fire. The ability to travel at speed over all types of surfaces – from tarmac to gravel and from sand to solid rock – and withstand bumps, jumps and lumps is what gives every Subaru an edge over the competition. 09

aerodynamic design, smart versatility and engaging technologies, all provided with the aim of instilling driver confidence and all speaking to a core brand promise that will never be broken. WHAT’S INSIDE AND OUTSIDE: Countless thoughtful features combine to make every Subaru such an inspired choice – as both a daily driver and a fun-to-drive weekender.
WHAT IT DOES: Advanced thinking during the design and engineering stages consistently rewards you at every turn – each Subaru offers a pleasing, reassuring and entertaining driving experience.
DESIGN LANGUAGE Look a little closer and you’ll see that the Subaru design language has very strong ties to its aeronautical heritage: The distinctive, Subaru front grille is accented with wing-shaped design elements, the hawk-eye headlights evoke the fierce bird of prey and the central emblem is the Pleiades six-star cluster. This final soaring feature is inspired by the five companies that merged to create our parent company, Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd., represented by the largest star in the configuration.
12
In higher-performance models such as the Subaru WRX STI, this process has been pushed to the nth degree: Larger air intakes provide efficient airflow and better cooling for the SUBARU BOXER engine and intercooler, while carved body panels and oversized wings generate even more confidence-inspiring downforce. The simple math: Better aerodynamics equals better performance.
SPACIOUSNESS AND COMFORT The sleek lines of each vehicle lead the eyes to a dynamic, cabin-forward design with a large glass area designed to open up space while providing superior visibility and safety. This sense of spaciousness is further aided by a right-sized wheelbase and thoughtful interior touches; for example, on many models the front seatbacks are carved out to create more legroom for back-seat passengers, while the door panels receive similar treatment in order to generate more hip and shoulder room for everyone involved. In terms of comfort, available features such as heated front seats, reclining rear seats, top-quality fabrics and climate control help create a soothing environment.
FUNCTIONALITY Step inside and you soon discover invigorating and inviting thinking that delivers new standards in convenience and functionality. Subaru vehicles feature multiple seating configurations, flat-folding rear seats and countless thoughtful touches such as seatback pockets, oversized cup holders, and various storage compartments. The cargo areas are designed to maximize available space by reducing protrusions and to promote easy access through wide and low liftgate or trunk openings. Many models also feature roof rail systems and generous towing capabilities to carry even more gear. (The message: If you’ve thought of something to do on the weekends, we’ve thought of it too.)
SMART TECHNOLOGY With a laundry list of desirable features such as Bluetooth® connectivity, SIRIUS® Satellite Radio, USB connectors, navigation systems, rear-view cameras and powerful audio systems (some with smartphone integration◊), every Subaru is entertaining and confidence-inspiring in more ways than one. These available features are designed to keep you connected on the road and to never let your attention stray from the road. They also offer proof that Subaru is committed to looking forward and to bringing drivers the most functional, convenient and desirable features possible.

allows drivers to get out more and travel free of unnecessary worry. This is why, year in and year out, Subaru models are recognized as Top Safety Picks1 by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
VEHICLE DYNAMICS CONTROL SYSTEM Standard on every Subaru, the Vehicle Dynamics Control† system monitors and analyzes if the vehicle is following the driver’s intended course via an array of smart sensors. If the vehicle approaches the limits of stability, the AWD torque distribution*, engine output and brakes at each wheel adjust automatically to assist in keeping the vehicle on course. †The Subaru Vehicle Dynamics Control system may also be known as Electronic Stability Control. *Lineartronic® CVT and Automatic Transmission models only.
VISIBILITY
Oversteer Understeer Ideal cornering
To avoid danger, you have to see it coming first – so every Subaru is designed to help the driver maintain maximum awareness of their surroundings. The intelligent design of each model features a generous glass area, large side mirrors and thin, strategically placed pillars to minimize obstruction and maximize active safety. Certain models are also available with a rear-view camera to boost visibility even further.
Top Safety Pick ratings based on Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s (IIHS) 40-mph frontal crash test, 31-mph side-impact test, 20-mph rear-impact test, and roof-strength test. For more information, contact IIHS or visit their website at www.iihs.org.

SEATS, SEATBELTS AND AIRBAGS Standard on every Subaru are front, front-side and side curtain airbags. Also standard are height-adjustable front seatbelts with pretensioners to hold passengers firmly in place and load limiters that ease peak forces to the chest. On most models, specially designed front seats or front seat head restraints provide even better support and help to reduce whiplash in a rear-end collision. The Subaru SUVs add a rollover sensor that’s linked to the side-curtain airbags, while the all-new Impreza gains a standard driver knee airbag.
RING-SHAPED REINFORCEMENT FRAME The advanced ring-shaped reinforcement frame – a proprietary Subaru design – strengthens the entire passenger cabin by linking the roof to the side pillars and the floor. This design helps to dissipate impact energy and divert it away from occupants in a collision. A front crumple zone is also integral to the frame, helping to absorb even more energy in the event of a frontal impact.
BREAK-AWAY ENGINE BRAKING SYSTEMS An advanced Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) – standard on every Subaru vehicle, as are disc brakes at all four corners – includes a number of technologies designed to aid safety. Electronic Brake-force Distribution automatically adjusts front/rear braking pressure when vehicle load changes. Brake Assist provides greater force in sudden panic situations. Many models also incorporate a Hill Holder system to help prevent rollback when starting off on an incline. And the WRX STI takes braking to a whole new level with Super Sport ABS and large diameter, ventilated Brembo® disc brakes.
Every Subaru goes above and beyond when it comes to your safety. For example, in the event of a head-on collision, the SUBARU BOXER engine and transmission are designed to absorb the impact and break away, sliding underneath the cabin area for an added measure of protection.

2012 LEGACY: Nemesis of boring family sedans. Banish boredom forever with the 2012 Subaru Legacy, the dynamic performer that brings much-needed excitement to the family sedan category. This bold design comes in three different variations based on engine choice, each option paired with its own version of the legendary Subaru symmetrical full-time AWD system. Looking for even more choice? The Legacy is available with a 6-speed manual, 5-speed automatic or Lineartronic速 CVT transmission, plus there are several upgrade packages for your consideration. One thing not up for debate, though: The Subaru Legacy sedan jams an enormous amount of performance, safety, fuel efficiency and value into a sophisticated and stylish package.
Legacy 3.6R Limited

Swagger-full. One look is all it takes to understand what the Subaru Legacy sedan is all about – a confident and dynamic driving experience. The flared wheel arches speak to superior road presence, highlighted by a stellar all-wheel-drive system that delivers worldclass handling and safety. The distinctive front grille and hawk-eye headlights reinforce the muscular design and further separate the Legacy from the crowd. The car’s bold silhouette showcases a sleek, mid-size footprint, low centre of gravity and generous glass area – evidence of stability, spaciousness and confidence-inspiring design. This is smart engineering for the smart driver.

2012 OUTBACK: Fuel your adventures. The 2012 Subaru Outback is a vehicle that only Subaru could possibly deliver. On the one hand, it’s a uniquely capable utility vehicle, complete with all the qualities this statement implies: the versatility needed to go anywhere at the drop of a hat and take anything with you... including your hat collection. On the other hand, the Outback offers up more than a few surprises, including many car-like qualities such as nimble handling, refreshing fuel efficiency, and a spacious and refined cabin. Offering the choice of two potent SUBARU BOXER engines and three different transmissions, this is the SUV alternative that rewards drivers at every turn – and encourages them to get out more with complete confidence.

Altitude plus attitude. Rugged, refined, aggressive and athletic: The exterior design of the Subaru Outback is as purposeful as you’ll find on the road today. First things first: The generous ground clearance signals that the Outback is no pretender – pick a road, any road, and this utility vehicle is up for the challenge. Next: The substantial front grille, hawk-eye headlights and piercing fog lights stand ready to cut through any possible scenario the weather gods could imagine. Last but not least: The solid-surface wheel arches and flared fenders reinforce that the Subaru symmetrical full-time AWD system is on the job, ready to deliver unsurpassed confidence in even the most adventurous of settings.

Outback 2.5i Convenience with PZEV Option
Fog Lights
All Outback models come standard with lightweight, 6-spoke, 17-inch alloy wheels. Not just a pretty face, these sleek wheels also promote better handling under all sorts of driving conditions.
These multi-reflector halogen fog lights provide heightened visibility, cutting through the murky surroundings with a wide, flat beam that reduces glare at the same time.
Front Bumper Underguard
Windshield Wiper De-icer
(2.5i Touring Package)
(2.5i Touring Package, 2.5i Limited Package and 3.6R models)
This ruggedly constructed feature helps keep the lower bumper area free of dents and scratches, even when the Outback is cutting through brush or dealing with other obstacles in the road.
Standard on the Outback 2.5i Touring Package, 2.5i Limited Package and 3.6R models, this feature consists of electric heating elements that warm the area of the windshield where the wipers rest, clearing them from ice and frost.
Swing-in-place Roof Rack System
Rear Roofline Spoiler
All versions of the Outback come standard with this smartly designed roof rack system with built-in crossbars. The crossbars swing out to help with loading cumbersome gear and retract back into the side rails when not needed to reduce aerodynamic drag and wind noise.
This aerodynamic feature not only gives the Outback reduced drag numbers, it also gives this rugged utility vehicle a sporty touch. Standard on all models.

You�re hardly roughing it. Right from the moment of inception, the Subaru Outback was designed to deliver more than the competition: more capability, more space and more comfort. An incredibly thoughtful passenger cabin is the result, one that features wider door openings, increased glass area, enough space for five adults, and a decidedly brilliant cargo area that offers more room and functionality than many other vehicles in this class. The Outback also delivers some surprises, including a sporty, three-spoke steering wheel and an electronic parking brake with driver-selectable Hill Holder system. The theme continues with a number of refined touches, including a well-appointed driving environment that makes the rough stuff feel like a walk in a well-manicured park.

Illuminated Vanity Mirrors
Centrally located and easily accessible, this overhead storage console is the perfect spot to keep sunglasses ready for those bright days.

2012 TRIBECA: The manifestation of more. Whether you’re going on a family road trip or just shuttling the kids to school, you need a vehicle that leaves nothing to chance. A vehicle that is loaded with class-leading active and passive safety systems. A vehicle with all the comfort and convenience you’d expect – plus lots of room to grow with seating for up to seven passengers. A vehicle that rewards the driver with a responsive 6-cylinder SUBARU BOXER engine, crisp handling courtesy of the Subaru symmetrical full-time AWD system, an intuitive set of gauges and controls, and luxurious surroundings. That vehicle is the 2012 Subaru Tribeca. Drive this engaging SUV and you’ll soon learn that high expectations can be met at every turn.
Tribeca

Powerful, elegant, purposeful. Normally, you don’t associate superior driving dynamics with your average everyday SUV – then again, the Subaru Tribeca is not your average everyday SUV. Of course, this fact should become abundantly clear as soon as you lay eyes on it. With its generous ground clearance, athletic stance and sculpted bodywork, it’s clear that this SUV pays as much attention to the entire driving experience as it does to traditional SUV qualities such as increased spaciousness, visibility and utility. Smartly designed and right-sized, the Tribeca is also the only 7-passenger SUV with the Subaru symmetrical full-time AWD system. So the Subaru Tribeca might best be described as “the above-average SUV” for everyday living.

Roof Rails
(Limited Package and Premier Package) For greater visibility and superior safety at night, Xenon High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlights emit a brighter and whiter beam.
The standard roof rails can be fitted with a wide range of accessories designed to carry all manner of gear, from bicycle racks to cargo carriers and nearly everything in between. A silver finish on Limited Package and Premier Package models adds an elegant touch.

Haven for seven. Choosing a family vehicle is a difficult task full of complex considerations. The designers at Subaru have made your life easier by making this choice simpler. Their handiwork, the Subaru Tribeca, showcases the kind of thoughtful features the smart driver has in mind. For example, the passenger cabin has no fewer than 64 different seating configurations, a third row of seats and room for up to 7 passengers. The award-winning interior also showcases a level of ergonomic refinement and sheer luxury not often associated with this segment. To complete the picture, the Tribeca comes standard with a full complement of airbags to better protect everyone inside.

2012 WRX AND WRX STI: Pure performance. Power. If you’re the sort who takes his or her driving seriously – very seriously – then step right up. The 2012 Subaru WRX and Subaru WRX STI are engineered for you, the person with a serious passion for driving excitement and an uncommon love for the internal combustion engine. In the case of the WRX, that engine is a turbocharged and intercooled SUBARU BOXER that produces 265 horsepower and abundant thrills. With respect to the WRX STI, what’s nestled under the muscular hood is an even more extreme example of the Subaru engineering team’s art – a 305-horsepower, high-boost variation of this same SUBARU BOXER engine. But power is just the start.
From left to right: WRX (5-door), WRX STI (5-door), WRX Limited Package (4-door) , WRX STI Sport-tech Package (4-door)
68
Control. To complement the incredible reserves of power on tap in the 2012 Subaru WRX and Subaru WRX STI, they also come equipped with acres of confidence-inspiring control. The pursuit of greater safety and control has led to unbelievable stability, especially in high-speed corners. This control comes courtesy of the legendary Subaru symmetrical full-time All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system, rally-inspired fully independent suspension and truly exceptional active safety systems. Whether your preference is for the fierce 5-door or the ferocious 4-door, both have been designed for incredible balance and superior response under all types of driving conditions. The WRX STI further benefits from one of the most advanced driver-selectable AWD systems in the business to offer an even higher level of control – and countless hours of driving enjoyment.
69
Performance personified. Whether your personal preference is for the scorching 4-door or the blistering 5-door, the exterior design of the 2012 Subaru WRX and WRX STI leaves no room for misunderstanding whatsoever – these are purebred performance cars. The fierceness begins from the ground up: both the WRX and WRX STI display a wide, low look that speaks to superior aerodynamics, handling and high-speed stability. The large air intakes, cooling vents, prominent fenders and rear wings serve to reinforce the message. And the finishing touches – including alloy wheels and the distinct rumble of their quad-tipped exhausts – put the exclamation mark on what is an already powerful statement.
70
WRX STI Sport-tech Package
Side Cooling Vents
The 4-door and 5-door models come standard with their own versions of a rear underbody diffuser for improved aerodynamic performance and increased downforce. Also standard: a quad-tipped exhaust that’s been tuned for efficient performance and exciting sound.
Serious performance attributes for very serious performance cars: The prominent wheel arches feature functional cooling vents and ducts that manage airflow around the wheels, and draw heat away from the engine.
High-profile Rear-wing Spoiler (WRX STI models – 4-door)
Low-profile Rear Spoiler (WRX models – 4-door)
Standard on the 4-door version of the WRX STI, this trunk-mounted spoiler is code-named “the wing” for very good reason – it’s been wind-tunnel engineered to deliver massive amounts of downforce.
Standard on the WRX, this trunk-mounted rear spoiler is understated but effective nevertheless. It combines racy styling with aerodynamic efficiency, making it the perfect addition to this compelling sports car.
18-inch Aluminum Alloy Wheels (WRX STI models)
17-inch Aluminum Alloy Wheels (WRX models)
The WRX STI Sport-tech Package features lightweight, 18-inch alloy wheels that have been designed and engineered for top performance. These 14-spoke wheels feature a shiny, high-lustre finish, while the same wheels on the base model are coated in a dark charcoal finish for a more dramatic effect.
Standard on the WRX is this set of 15-spoke, 17-inch alloy wheels that feature a high-tech, gunmetal finish that creates a memorable and menacing look.
EXTERIOR FEATURES
Rear Underbody Diffuser and Quad-tipped Exhaust
71
Locked and loaded. As you might expect, the passenger cabin of the Subaru WRX and WRX STI means business – it’s loaded with driver-focused gadgetry. Witness the 3-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel, aluminum alloy pedals and form-fitting sport seats. But it’s also a super-strong and ultra-safe environment filled with active and passive safety systems that set a new standard. The interior is also remarkably well-designed from a comfort and storage point of view, and it’s fitted with the kind of thoughtful features not commonly found in such performance-oriented modes of transportation. These are purpose-built cars for any number of purposes, all of them revolving around the concept of sheer excitement.
72
Leather-wrapped Steering Wheel with Red Stitching
These lightweight aluminum alloy pedals are fitted with rubber pads for extra grip and control. Sporty, stylish and performance-oriented, they’re the perfect resting place for a lead foot (or two).
Extra control is right around the next corner courtesy of this 3-spoke, leather-wrapped sport steering wheel. The high-grip wheel is augmented by red stitching and, for all STI models, STI badging.
Heated Front Seats
Automatic Climate Control (WRX models and WRX STI Sport-tech Package)
Even though these cars are all about performance, they still have their fair share of creature comforts. Example: standard heated front seats that are individually adjustable with multiple levels of settings.
WRX STI
Ambient Interior Lighting (WRX STI models) There’s nothing like a little ambient lighting to get the blood pumping – especially if it’s red ambient lighting. The footwells and centre console storage area are bathed in the light, creating an exciting ambience.
INTERIOR FEATURES
Aluminum Alloy Sport Pedals
Available automatic climate control maintains comfort settings with automatic adjustment of airflow and temperature. A microscopic filter helps keep dust out of the cabin.
Rally-style Sport Seats Designed to support enthusiastic cornering, these rally-style seats feature superior side bolstering, radiant red stitching and an unmistakably sporty feel. The seats bear either the WRX or STI logo (depending on the model), while the latter also gains Alcantara® seating surfaces and leather side bolsters.

Subaru Protection Plan
Trust what’s inside to put confidence in motion.
As a Subaru owner, you have expectations for a pleasurable, trouble-free ownership experience — now and into the future. Once your 36-month/60,000-km New Vehicle Limited Warranty period ends,* our Subaru Protection Plan (SPP) — the only vehicle service contract endorsed by Subaru Canada for Subaru vehicles — can prolong your hassle-free ownership experience with three levels of extended service contract coverage tailored to your needs: Powertrain Protection; Major Protection; or Complete Protection (best level of coverage to complement the 60-month/100,000-km Major Component Limited Warranty). SPP offers comprehensive mechanical and electrical coverage and a number of additional features and benefits, such as Roadside Assistance and Alternate Transportation, for up to 7 years or 160,000 kilometres from your vehicle’s in-service date. Whether your vehicle is purchased or leased, SPP protects you and your investment. Be sure to ask your dealer for details or visit subaru.ca. *If you already own a Subaru vehicle and it is still within the 36-month/60,000-km New Vehicle Limited Warranty period, you are still eligible for SPP!
Subaru vehicles are uniquely designed to get out there more – and to leave it out there less. We build our vehicles for maximum longevity because more time spent on the road equals less time spent in junkyards and landfills. Fully 95.4% of our vehicles sold in Canada over the last 10 years are still on the road today.1 You’ll also find very little waste created in the production of a Subaru – many of our vehicles are built in the Subaru of Indiana Automotive, Inc. (SIA) factory, which was the first manufacturing facility in the U.S. to achieve zero-landfill status. Other Subaru facilities around the world now achieve similar goals in helping to preserve the environment. Respect for our surroundings is yet another way that Subaru vehicles help to build driver confidence for the road ahead. 1
