The 2022 Subaru WRX Premium in Ice Silver Metallic represents a full evolution of one of the most recognized performance sedans on the road today. Built on an all-new platform for this generation, the WRX sharpens its handling, improves ride quality, and delivers a more refined driving experience without losing its raw, driver-focused edge.
Under the hood is Subaru’s 2.4-liter turbocharged BOXER engine producing 271 horsepower, paired with a proper 6-speed manual transmission. This is the setup enthusiasts look for—engaging, responsive, and increasingly rare in today’s market. Subaru’s Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system puts the power down with confidence, giving this WRX a major advantage over front-wheel-drive competitors when it comes to grip, balance, and year-round usability.
Finished in Ice Silver Metallic, this WRX carries a clean, performance-forward look that highlights its aggressive stance, factory rear spoiler, and wide-body design. It’s a modern take on Subaru’s rally heritage—bold without being overdone.
Inside, the Premium trim with the Harman Kardon and Moonroof Package brings a noticeable step up in comfort and technology. You get a rich, full sound experience from the upgraded audio system, a power moonroof that opens up the cabin, heated front seats for added comfort, and a large touchscreen infotainment system.
A backup camera is also included, rounding out a well-equipped and practical interior.
This generation WRX has been widely recognized by automotive publications for its performance improvements and everyday usability. It has earned praise from outlets like Car and Driver for its balanced chassis and engaging driving dynamics, while also being highlighted by U.S. News & World Report as a strong contender in the compact sports sedan category for combining performance with all-weather capability. That combination is exactly what continues to set the WRX apart.
When stacked against competitors like the Honda Civic Si or Volkswagen GTI, the WRX stands alone with standard all-wheel drive and a more planted, confidence-inspiring feel. It’s not just about speed—it’s about control, traction, and connection to the road.
For buyers searching for a used Subaru WRX in Sacramento, a manual AWD sports sedan, or something that offers both performance and daily drivability, this WRX Premium checks all the right boxes. It delivers the kind of driving experience that keeps you engaged, while still being comfortable enough to live with every day.
