Turbocharged boxer power on every corner
The WRX gets its punch from a 2.4L turbocharged Subaru Boxer four-cylinder that makes 271 hp at 5,600 rpm and 258 lb-ft of torque. Car and Driver clocked a manual WRX at 5.5 seconds from 0–60 mph, a figure Subaru quotes on its own feature page. That's plenty of shove for highway merges, passing lanes, and your favorite winding road.
Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive on every trim
Every 2026 WRX comes standard with Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, so you never have to hunt for a specific trim to get it. Power flows to all four wheels, which gives you confident grip when a sudden downpour slicks the pavement. That's a welcome bonus if your trip spans changing seasons — think a spring shower in Seattle or a chilly fall morning in Denver.
All-wheel drive also helps the WRX put its 271 hp to the pavement when you accelerate out of a corner or merge into fast traffic. You get steady footing year-round and a sedan that still feels eager every time you turn the wheel. Rain, shine, or a crisp autumn weekend, the WRX keeps you planted and in control.
Choose a six-speed manual or the Subaru Performance Transmission
You can rent a WRX with a six-speed manual or the Subaru Performance Transmission, an automatic. The manual is available on every trim except the GT, which comes with the automatic only. If you love working a clutch, the manual hands you full control of every gear change — the classic way to enjoy a turbo sedan.
Rather relax through city traffic? The Subaru Performance Transmission lets you savor all that turbo power without a third pedal. Local vehicle owners list specific configurations, so check the listing's transmission before you book and slide behind the wheel of the exact WRX you pictured.
Stand out with a WRX
The WRX is a sports sedan built for real life, with seats for five and a 12.5 cu ft trunk for weekend bags. Bring friends along for a scenic weekend drive, or explore more sports car rentals on Turo if you want to compare options.
Top WRX features
Rally-bred design
Three things set the WRX apart: its rally-bred design, a driver-focused cabin, and a trim lineup for every taste.
The WRX looks ready to run before you even turn the key. It's a four-door compact sedan with black wheel-arch cladding that wraps the fenders and front vents that hint at its performance roots. A rear spoiler finishes the back end, and 19-inch alloy wheels fill out those muscular arches.
The result is a sedan that turns heads in a parking garage and still fits easily into everyday life. Four doors mean your passengers climb in without folding seats or squeezing past anyone. Styling details can vary by trim, so scroll through the listing photos to see the exact wheels, colors, and finishes on the WRX you're booking.
Driver-focused cabin and tech
Inside, the WRX puts you at the center of the action. A flat-bottom steering wheel sits right in your hands, and red stitching adds a sporty accent throughout the cabin. It's a space that feels purpose-built for driving, with just enough flair to remind you what's under the hood.
Tech keeps pace with the turbo. An 11.6-inch vertical touchscreen handles your controls at a glance, while a fully digital instrument cluster keeps key driving information right in front of you. Take a minute before you pull away to set up your audio and learn the screen layout, then keep your eyes on the road.
A trim for every taste
The WRX comes in six trims: Base, Premium, Limited, GT, tS, and Series.Yellow. Every one shares the same 2.4L turbocharged boxer engine and standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, so the core WRX experience stays the same whichever you choose.
The biggest difference to watch for is the transmission. The GT comes with the Subaru Performance Transmission only, while the other trims offer the six-speed manual. Listings vary by city, so check the trim before you book and compare a few WRX options side by side.

Top tips and things to know before renting a WRX
Get to know your WRX
Check the transmission and trim, plan for premium fuel, and book early to save.
Before you book, confirm two details on the listing: the transmission and the trim. Manual and automatic versions drive very differently, so pick the one you'll enjoy most on your trip.
Availability changes by city. Browse Subaru rentals in Denver, Subaru rentals in Seattle, or Subaru rentals in Los Angeles to see what's near your destination.
WRX driving tips
Fill your WRX with premium unleaded rated 91 octane or higher. The manual earns an EPA-estimated 19 mpg city, 26 highway, and 22 combined. The automatic earns 18 mpg city and 25 highway.
Before you return the car, refuel it to the level noted in the listing.

* Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. In the US, liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.
For questions or information about the third party liability insurance for trips in the US, consumers in Maryland and the licensed states listed here may contact Turo Insurance Agency at (415) 508-0283 or claims@turo.agency. For questions about how damage to a host’s vehicle is handled, visit the Turo Support site. When a trip is booked in the state of Washington, physical damage to the host’s vehicle is covered by insurance purchased by Turo, but the Turo insurance does not change the contractual responsibilities of hosts or guests with respect to physical damage to a host’s vehicle.
