Subaru is set to debut its latest WRX TR sedan on American soil, revealed through reports by Motor1. The unveiling is planned for a Florida event on October 7, signaling Subaru’s continued push into the high-performance, enthusiast-focused segment. The reveal will occur at a dedicated event attended by Subaru Motorsports USA driver Travis Pastrana and renowned skateboarder and rallycross racer Bucky Lasek. Subaru has not released exhaustive details about the WRX TR, but emphasizes that the model aims to sharpen the driver’s experience and deliver a more engaging driving dynamic for enthusiasts, rather than simply adding power or flash.
The teaser campaign hints at a bold visual package, including bronze-colored wheels, red Brembo brake calipers, red belt lines, and black plastic sills. Observers anticipate a robust powertrain, with speculation pointing to an engine around 300 horsepower that would fit the performance-oriented positioning of the WRX TR.
In related news, Subaru recently introduced a new Layback variant of the Levorg station wagon targeted at the Japanese market. This LEVORG Layback features a protective coating and is equipped with a 1.8-liter boxer turbo engine delivering about 174 horsepower, underscoring Subaru’s ongoing diversification of models across regions. The Levorg Layback’s presentation follows earlier announcements and showcases the brand’s willingness to experiment with different body styles and powertrains to suit local demand.
Meanwhile, market chatter continues with reports that the X3 Pro crossover line has begun sales in Russia, with pricing starting at 2.5 million rubles, illustrating Subaru’s interest in expanding its footprint across global markets and balancing performance with accessible value. [source: Motor1]
