The most affordable 2015 WRX money can buy costs $26,295 without taking into account the $795 destination charges ($945 in Alaska). The hotter 2015 WRX STI starts at $34,495 while a limited-run WRX STI Launch Edition kicks off at 37,395 USD and will be produced in only 1,000 examples. The latter is distinguished by a WR Blue Pearl exterior paint, blue cabin highlights, standard keyless access & start system, along with an STI short-throw shifter for the 6-speed manual gearbox.

To refresh your memory, the Subaru WRX is powered by a 4-cylinder, 2.0-liter turbo boxer engine rated at 268 bhp (200 kW) and 258 lb-ft (349 Nm) of torque. It works with a standard 6-speed manual gearbox or an optional Sport Lineartronic CVT. Pay more for the STI version and Subaru rewards you with a larger 4-cylinder, 2.5-liter turbocharged boxer engine outputting 305 bhp (227 kW) and 290 lb-ft (393 Nm). It should be specified the more potent version comes only with a six-speed manual 'box.

Both the 2015 WRX and WRX STI along with the Launch Edition will arrive in Subaru's dealerships this April.
