The suspension tuning of the WRX STI is directly based on the suspension of the WRX STI spec. C, a competition spec WRX STI sold exclusively in the Japanese domestic market.
Despite similar sheet metal, the WRX STI has additional structural reinforcements throughout the body compared to the WRX for even better handling.
Dark metallic trim on the instrument panel gives the interior a richer yet more aggressive look.
All WRX STI models are equipped with a short throw close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission for a more dynamic and rewarding driving experience.
Due to improved aerodynamics, courtesy of the large rear spoiler, the WRX STI 4-door has a higher top speed than the WRX STI 5-door (255 km/h vs. 250 km/h).
All WRX STI models are equipped with new 18-inch Enkei cast aluminum alloy wheels that weigh 2 kg less than the previous standard wheel. This contributes to better handling and steering feel.
With the multi-mode Driver Controlled Centre Differential AWD system, multi-mode VDC and SI-DRIVE, the WRX STI’s driving characteristics can be adjusted based on changing conditions – rain, snow or shine.
Leather and Alcantara® seats hold occupants firmly in place when taking corners with enthusiasm.
An all-new audio system on the WRX STI and the Pioneer® AVIC-X9310BT Media System on the WRX STI Sport-tech Package offer excellent sound quality and Bluetooth® technology – ideal for those living in provinces where hand-held phones and MP3s have been outlawed.
The WRX STI Sport-tech Package is equipped with powerful Pioneer® TS-A1684R front speakers that produce clear, open sound (not shown).
The squared-off lower air intake and front bumper have been designed to make the WRX STI look wide and low.
Fog lights are standard on the WRX STI Sport-tech Package for excellent nighttime illumination and an aggressive appearance.
