Fans Have Waited -The Next-Gen Subaru WRX Debut Is Only 16 Days Away

Subaru has just announced that the next-generation 2022 WRX will now make its debut on September 10, 2021. Performance fans will only have to wait sixteen more days for the reveal. Subaru revealed the reveal date on their social media pages today. Subaru did not say how the sports sedan will make its debut, but it will likely be a live reveal.

Performance fans have been waiting what seems like forever as the next-generation Subaru WRX has been delayed due to production slowdowns and plant closures in the Gunma, Japan factory where the WRX is manufactured. The entire automotive industry has dealt with the global microchip shortage, causing more new vehicle launch delays.

Subaru Corporation has seen challenges with all its 2022 model changes at the Japan factories, including the refreshed 2022 Forester, all-new Forester Wilderness, and the 2022 Crosstrek. None of the models have been revealed by Subaru of America.

Subaru of America teased the next-generation 2022 WRX last week with a new video showing the new WRX in action. Yes, we can see the WRX will still have a 6-speed manual gearbox which is no surprise. The WRX will also come with an available Sport Lineartronic CVT automatic.

The significant changes will come underneath the hood, where the next-generation WRX will likely be powered by a new 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder Boxer engine upgrade. Reports from Japan say the new powerplant produces 286 horsepower, an 18 horsepower bump from the outgoing 2.0-liter engine.

When will the 2022 Subaru WRX be available for sale?

Subaru of America will announce the next-generation 2022 Subaru WRX in 16 days, and the sport-tuned sedan may not be available for sale until winter or early next year. Performance enthusiasts have waited a long time for the new WRX, and its debut is now confirmed for September 10, 2021. Stay tuned.
