The 2022 Subaru WRX's GT automatic is a compelling option for drivers who value features and safety tech more than the entertainment provided by the standard six-speed manual transmission. Still, this GT trim level comes at a price that leaves us questioning its worth.
The Subaru WRX was redesigned for the 2022 model year and includes a new range-topping, automatic-only GT model.
The 2022 Subaru WRX GT comes fully equipped at a base price of $43,390, which is considerably more than the starting price of last year's 310-hp STI model.
Our GT test car's 5.4-second 60-mph time is a hair quicker than that of the last manual WRX we tested. Its 5-to-60-mph, 30-to-50-mph, and 50-to-70-mph acceleration times also are notably better, making it the quicker of the two in the real world.
Both the automatic and manual WRXs returned the same 28-mpg average on our 75-mph highway fuel-economy test.
The GT model is notable for its Recaro sport seats and upgraded audio system.
The WRX GT posted a respectable 0.93 g of skidpad grip and stopped from 70 mph in 159 feet.
All WRX models are powered by a 271-hp turbocharged 2.4-liter flat-four.
The latest WRX features a vertically oriented 11.6-inch touchscreen as standard.
A six-speed manual transmission is standard on most trims, but the GT comes only with a CVT automatic with eight simulated gears. (The automatic is an $1850 to $2250 option on other models.)
Opting for the WRX's automatic brings the ability to tune the engine's responses through three settings, with the GT adding five overarching drive modes (Comfort, Normal, Sport, Sport+, and Individual.)
