WRX (2014 to Present)

The Subaru WRX, manufactured globally from 2014 until 2026, has cemented its status as an all-wheel-drive icon by evolving from a cult-favourite sedan into a high-tech performance range that now includes both the aggressive VA and the sophisticated VB generations. In the 2026 Australian market, the WRX remains the ultimate performance underdog for drivers who demand year-round versatility, consistently outshining front-wheel-drive rivals when conditions turn unpredictable. The local buyer pool is a high-energy mix of grassroots racers and daily commuters who actively participate in the Subaru WRX Challenge or showcase their builds at "Rexmas" track days, ensuring these cars are a dominant presence at roll racing meets, rally events, and hill climbs like the Rob Roy Revival. Desirability has reached a fever pitch in 2026 for the final-run 2021 WRX STI EJ25 Final Edition and the newly released tS Spec B, which serves as the official Supercars Safety Car and a hero for manual-gearbox purists. Consequently, the market value of the WRX in Australia is seeing a significant upward trend, as collectors and track enthusiasts alike rush to secure the final petrol-only iterations of this rally-bred legend before the industry's shift toward electrification makes these mechanical masterpieces a rare commodity on the secondary market.
