2014 Subaru WRX spied for the first time

by SpeedLux

The 2014 Subaru WRX which is expected to go on sale later during this year has been spied for the first time.

From the spy shots, it appears that the car looks a hotter STI version from the fact that it has huge rear wing which looks similar to the one seen on the 2013 WRX STI. This prototype also sports a more toned-down variant of the concept’s rear diffuser. The wheels look similar but now come with a black finish.

Overall, the styling of the car is not as electrifying as the concept that was showcased earlier in 2013 New York last month. This is mainly because of the fact that the production version may adopt a regular sedan body with narrower fenders, taller roof and smaller lower intakes.

The car will feature a 4-cylinder, 2.0-liter boxer engine but there is no clarity as of now as to whether it will involve turbocharging or not. However, there are chances that it will be a different variant of the mill found in the Subaru BRZ but with a bespoke direct-injection system. We can also expect an output of around 265 bhp (198 kW) for the regular WRX and a minimum of 305 bhp (227 kW) for the STI variant.

The company will probably offer the 2014 Subaru WRX with a balanced all-wheel drive system and in the usual sedan and hatchback body styles.

Not much different than the 2013. Subaru has the ability to produce the concept car which looks awesome. Instead of increasing the looks and horsepower like everyone else you continue to fail year after year because your engineers can’t get it right. mabey someday it will meet the M5 BMW standards. My next car will be German.

I knew that concept was way too good to be true… Subaru is so lame when it comes to styling.

What a terrible disappointment! I had plans to purchase this car as soon as it became available. Now, I believe it would be a terrible mistake. I guess I might have to get myself a BMW 3 series which I thought it was too grown up for me but I rather have that than this outdated daewoo looking dishwasher.

I saw the concept car in NY and I must say it was impressive. However, this waterdowned version is nothing but a glorified grocerier-go-getter. Thought about buying the 2014 wrx but now, I think i will go with the 2014-15 Speed3
