Subaru has decided to slim down the WRX’s lineup for 2025, with the base model now being discontinued. Subaru says that very few buyers bought the base trim level last year, with nearly half of all WRX buyers selecting the Premium trim level.

Buyers can choose either a six-speed manual or a CVT. The WRX Limited model is priced at $38,270, while the WRX tS and WRX GT priced at $46,875.
