Subaru's iconic WRX and WRX STI pocket-rockets offer a new layer
of safety technology in Model Year 2016 variants launched
today.
Already enjoying sales success on a par with its late '90s peak,
the current generation WRX will now also have 18-inch alloy wheels,
while WRX Premium and WRX STI Premium add a suite of new Vision
Assist technologies including:
- Blind Spot Monitoring
- Lane Change Assist
- Auto dimming rear view mirror
- High Beam Assist
- Side View Monitor
-
- Built into the passenger wing mirrors, so hard-to-see parts of
the vehicle can be checked
- Rear Cross Traffic Alert
-
- Detects passing vehicles when reversing from parking
spaces
- Power folding wing mirrors
Entry level WRX gets a sleek new 6.2-inch touchscreen
infotainment system, while WRX Premium and WRX STI Premium add a
fully integrated 7-inch system, introducing a wide array of new
functions, including pinch/zoom, voice recognition and Pandora
compatibility.
Meanwhile, pricing of entry-level WRX STI drops $500 to $49,490,
while for those fitted with a rear boot spoiler it is down $200 to
$49,790.
Subaru Australia Managing Director, Nick Senior, said: "WRX is
already regarded as well specced, but these latest additions make
it the best ever in terms of the performance, value and features
equation.
"WRX and WRX STI are already selling at levels unseen since the
late 1990s and the latest list of new technologies can only boost
their turbocharged sales success even further."
