About the Subaru WRX 2nd Gen (VB)

The second generation Subaru WRX, known as the VB, launched globally in 2022 and remained in production till 2025, representing a significant shift towards a more refined yet capable performance platform. Utilising the Subaru Global Platform, this iteration is powered by a larger 2.4-litre 'FA24F' turbocharged boxer engine, which offers a broader torque curve and improved driveability over its predecessor, paired with either a traditional six-speed manual or a revised performance transmission. In Australia, the model's desirability remains remarkably high, bolstered by the return of the Sportswagon body style and the introduction of sharp, enthusiast-focused trims like the tS and Club Spec. The buyer pool is incredibly diverse, attracting long-time rally enthusiasts as well as modern drivers who value the Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system and updated cabin technology for daily use. Because it sits as one of the last remaining petrol-powered, manual icons in its segment, the market value for the VB is quite stable, with well-kept sedans and high-spec wagons continuing to be a hot commodity for those seeking a balance of mechanical engagement and practical performance.
