| The Subaru WRX will have a muscular appearance, similar to that of the WRX Concept |
Subaru has released a teaser image of the new Subaru WRX, revealing its styling will be close to the WRX Concept shown earlier this year
The Subaru WRX will be unveiled at the LA motor show later this month. The new model is expected to follow the saloon-like lines of the WRX Concept from the New York motor show earlier this year.
Subaru
describes the WRX as “Subaru's iconic AWD performance model”, as the
firm attempts to reassert itself as a performance brand.
It
is not yet known whether the WRX will be imported into the UK; small
sales volumes and an unfavourable exchange rate means profits will be
low, even if it is positioned as a brand-builder. Subaru is keen to
point out that the show car is in "US specification".
The
teaser image suggests the Subaru WRX will feature similar styling cues
as the WRX Concept. That model had a muscular appearance, and was
similar in size to the last WRX saloon.
The
WRX will feature Subaru’s trademark bonnet scoop and large cooling
vents in the front bumper. However the 20in alloy wheels and carbonfibre
roof fitted to the WRX Concept are unlikely to make production.
Alongside the debut of the WRX, Subaru plans a new design concept for the LA show. On the same day but at the Tokyo motor show, Subaru will unveil its Levorg concept.
