Why the 2024 WRX RS is Canada's Ultimate All-Weather Performance Car

Canadian drivers demand more from their performance cars than most. Our unique climate and driving conditions require vehicles that deliver excitement without compromise, regardless of season. The 2024 WRX RS is the definitive answer to this challenge, combining track-ready performance and all-weather capability in one compelling package.

The WRX’s legacy runs deep in Canadian soil. It consistently leads the sports car segment in national sales. The new RS trim elevates this winning formula with purpose-built performance upgrades uniquely suited to Canadian driving conditions. At Subaru of Orillia, we understand why this matters to drivers who refuse to park their passion when weather conditions turn challenging.

Engineering Excellence for Canadian Roads

The RS builds on Subaru's renowned Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system with specific suspension tuning that reduces body roll and enhances steering precision. The suspension dampers work in harmony with the RS-exclusive 19-inch gunmetal alloy wheels, which deliver exceptional grip through the Bridgestone Potenza S007 tires. A high-performance Brembo braking system featuring 6-piston front calipers and cross-drilled rotors ensures confident stopping power in all conditions.

Advanced Safety Meets Performance

Modern performance cars must excel in safety as much as speed. The 2024 WRX RS introduces EyeSight Driver Assist Technology to manual transmission models, marking a significant advancement in the segment. This comprehensive safety suite includes adaptive cruise control, pre-collision braking, and lane departure prevention, working seamlessly with the all-wheel drive system to provide year-round confidence.

Track-Ready Power and Precision

The heart of the WRX RS remains the potent 2.4-litre turbocharged Boxer engine, producing 271 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. The flat-four configuration keeps the centre of gravity low, while the RS model's moonroof delete further reduces weight and improves handling dynamics. Inside, Recaro sport bucket seats with Ultrasuede inserts provide optimal support during spirited driving while maintaining comfort for daily use.

Beyond the Numbers

The driving experience extends beyond raw numbers. The RS-specific steering calibration delivers enhanced feedback, while the redesigned suspension geometry improves turn-in response and mid-corner stability. These performance upgrades shine on both track days and challenging back roads, showcasing the dual-nature capability that defines the WRX RS.
