How many cylinders does a Subaru WRX have?

I thought the WRX was a six-cylinder car. My buddy is always talking about how fast and fun it is to drive, so I guess I assumed. How many cylinders does a Subaru WRX have?

There are four cylinders in a Subaru WRX—but they’re turbocharged.
The WRX is one of the most powerful cars in the Subaru lineup. It’s not a V6, but you might be surprised at the punch in this turbocharged four-cylinder vehicle. It produces 271 hp and a delightful ride. It’s also popular among grease monkeys eager to create their very own
custom Subaru WRX
.
This four-door sedan starts at just over $30,000 base MSRP. Spend $3,000 more and you can get the six-speed manual transmission. Regardless of trim, every WRX comes with all-wheel drive. Best of all, this sporty vehicle gets about 22 mpg.
Ask your buddy to borrow his WRX for a test drive next time you hang out. Then, just for fun, test-drive the turbocharged three-cylinder Toyota GR Corolla with 300 hp.
You didn’t say if you were in the
market for a new car
, but we’d highly recommend the Subaru WRX Premium trim. It’ll take you from 0 to 60 in 5.5 seconds on 18-inch alloy wheels. The 11.6-inch touchscreen and dual USB ports are a nice touch, too, although you’ll probably be having too much fun zipping around town to look down.
Hope this helps!
