2025 Subaru WRX tS Debuts at Wicked Big Meet
Subaru’s new 2025 WRX tS, featuring enhanced performance and unique styling, debuts at Wicked Big Meet. The tS boasts STI-tuned suspension, Brembo brakes, and a digital gauge cluster.
Subaru has announced the debut of its new performance-oriented 2025 Subaru WRX tS, set to make its first public appearance at the Wicked Big Meet, America’s largest Subaru enthusiast festival, on June 2. The tS (tuned by STI) trim enhances performance, handling, and ride comfort with an STI-tuned suspension featuring electronically controlled dampers and revised tuning. Distinctive interior and exterior accents, along with a fully digital gauge cluster, elevate the vehicle’s aesthetic appeal. The WRX tS will be available at Subaru retailers nationwide early next year.
Enhanced Performance and Handling
The WRX tS is equipped with a high-performance Brembo braking system, featuring 6-piston front and 2-piston rear calipers in a signature gold color, along with larger pads and rotors for superior stopping power, fade resistance, and pedal feel. Standard 245/35 R19 Bridgestone Potenza S007 tires provide increased grip and improved braking performance in both wet and dry conditions.
The Drive Mode Select system, previously exclusive to the WRX GT, allows drivers to customize the car’s dynamic performance with Comfort, Normal, and Sport settings, utilizing electronically controlled STI-tuned dampers.
Bold Design and Distinctive Features
The WRX tS sports a wide-body design with an aggressive stance, featuring Subaru’s signature hexagonal grille, compact headlights, and a prominent front hood scoop. Crystal Black Silica finishes on the exterior mirrors, roof-mounted shark fin antenna, and rear spoiler provide a distinctive look. The rear deck lid bears the tS badge, and the rear taillights glow with a volcanic magma-inspired design. The vehicle also comes standard with 19-inch multi-spoke wheels in a satin gray finish.
Inside, the WRX tS features a new 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster for improved legibility and additional information display, including map and route guidance. Blue accents complement the seat bolsters, steering wheel, door panels, and shifter trim. The STI logo is prominently featured on the ignition start button. For weight savings and a lower center of gravity, the power moonroof has been omitted.
Advanced Comfort and Technology
The WRX tS is equipped with Recaro Performance Design front seats, providing enhanced support for performance driving. The seats are wrapped in black Ultrasuede® with blue accents, with the «WRX tS» logo embossed on the front headrests and floormats. The driver’s seat offers 8-way power adjustments for optimal comfort.
The latest SUBARU STARLINK 11.6-inch Multimedia Plus system is standard, featuring a high-definition touchscreen for multimedia, climate control, and vehicle settings. The system includes wireless Apple CarPlay®, wireless Android Auto™, AM/FM/HD Radio, Bluetooth, a rear vision camera, and a four-month free subscription to SiriusXM® and SiriusXM Travel Link®.
Safety and Powertrain
Subaru’s award-winning EyeSight Driver Assist Technology is standard on the WRX tS, including Adaptive Cruise Control, Pre-Collision Braking System, Lane Departure and Sway Warning, and Lead Vehicle Start Alert.
The WRX tS boasts Subaru’s legendary Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and a 2.4-liter turbocharged Subaru BOXER® engine, delivering 271 horsepower at 5,600 rpm and 258 pound-feet of torque from 2,000-5,200 rpm. Active Torque Vectoring enhances the vehicle’s handling capabilities.
Enthusiast Event Debut
The 2025 WRX tS will debut at the Wicked Big Meet at Stafford Motor Speedway in Connecticut, an event that draws thousands of Subaru enthusiasts and marks the start of the annual SubieEvents series. Subaru will announce pricing for the 2025 WRX tS later this year. For more details, enthusiasts can look forward to seeing the WRX tS up close at the festival.
