The exterior of the Subaru WRX makes it clear that this is no ordinary commuter sedan. There is a large scoop in the hood, and the front fascia is sharply styled with air takes in the lower bumper and a small but aggressive grille. A bar runs across the honeycomb grille and hosts the Subaru logo, while far off to the corners lie the headlights, which are LED with auto on/off function. The rear is equally angular, with curves giving a lifted look to the back end, while a pair of circular tailpipes jut out proudly from either corner. The overall effect is one of capability without sacrificing style. The base model comes equipped with 17-inch alloy wheels, while 18-inch wheels are standard on every other trim in varying color finishes. A moonroof is added on upper trims, and you can option a trunk lid spoiler. Lastly, you can add an LED-lit emblem to the grille.
At a glance, the Subaru WRX is not small in size, with dimensions kicking off with a length of 193.8 inches. The wheelbase is 105.2 inches long, and the car stands 70.9 inches wide without its mirrors. Height is less imposing at just 57.8 inches, though the sedan has a respectable ground clearance.

A total of eight paints comprise the exterior color palette for the Subaru WRX. Thankfully, none cost you extra, which means you can choose from Ceramic White, Crystal Black Silica, Solar Orange Pearl, Ignition Red, Sapphire Blue Pearl, WR Blue Pearl, Ice Silver Metallic, and Magnetite Gray Metallic. The more adventurous hues are definitely the most appealing on this sporty rally car.
Solar Orange Pearl is particularly eye-catching and looks unlike anything you will find on a similarly priced car. Alternatively, WR Blue Pearl and Sapphire Blue Pearl are less in your face but still quite racey.
There are no premium paints, so you don't have to pay extra for any of the available options.
Available as part of a package to the Premium, a power glass moonroof is standard on the Limited and GT trims.
There are a total of four circular exhaust outlets, two on either end of the rear bumper.
The base model gets 17-inch alloys, with the rest of the lineup sporting 18-inch wheels in various designs.
