2017 Subaru WRX Premium: Unleash Pure Performance on Every Curve

Imagine a crisp morning in Aiken, SC, where the mist still clings to the historic, tree-lined streets. You slide into the cockpit of this Crystal White Pearl 2017 Subaru WRX Premium, the mechanical engagement of the shifter promising a drive that is anything but ordinary. As you leave the equestrian estates behind and head toward the winding, scenic routes that carve through the local landscape, you realize this isn't just a commute; it is an event. This sedan was engineered for the enthusiast who finds joy in every apex and seeks a vehicle that rewards driver input with precision and poise.

Whether you are navigating the sophisticated avenues of Augusta, GA or exploring the undulating hills that define our region, the WRX Premium offers a level of tactile feedback rarely found in modern vehicles. It perfectly captures the spirit of a performance-focused lifestyle, blending the practicality of a four-door sedan with the soul of a rally-bred champion. It is a vehicle that feels just as at home parked in front of a vibrant downtown bistro as it does powering through a spirited weekend drive on the outskirts of town.

Turbocharged Performance and All-Wheel Drive Mastery

The heart of this 2017 Subaru WRX Premium is its formidable 2L H-4 gasoline direct injection engine. This intercooled turbo powerplant features a longitudinal mounting and an aluminum block, delivering a robust 268HP. This isn't just about straight-line speed; its about the delivery of power through a 6-Speed Manual transmission. For the purist, the inclusion of the STI Short Throw Shifter ensures that every gear change is crisp, short, and incredibly satisfying.

Capability in the South means being ready for any weather or road surface. The Full-time All Wheel Drive system provides relentless grip, whether you are dealing with a sudden summer downpour or navigating the sandy soil roads common in the region. The mechanical symphony is supported by a Sport ride suspension featuring a strut front suspension and a double wishbone rear suspension, both utilizing gas-pressurized shock absorbers. This setup ensures that the vehicle remains flat and composed through tight corners. Even with this high level of performance, the WRX remains efficient for its class, achieving an EPA-estimated 20 city / 27 hwy MPG, allowing for longer stretches of uninterrupted driving through the rolling terrain of Georgia and South Carolina.

Connectivity and Driver Information

Inside the cabin, the focus remains on the driver while providing the essential modern conveniences required for todays world. The 6.2 inch primary display serves as the hub for the Subaru Starlink Multimedia System, offering a clear interface for your audio and vehicle settings. With Bluetooth handsfree wireless device connectivity and Bluetooth wireless audio streaming, you can easily manage calls and music without taking your hands off the leather steering wheel.

Information is delivered through a clear analog instrumentation display supplemented by a 4.20-inch gauge cluster display. Performance enthusiasts will particularly appreciate the dedicated turbo/supercharger boost gauge, which allows you to monitor the engine's forced induction in real-time. For added convenience, the steering wheel mounted audio controls allow for seamless adjustments to the 6-speaker sound system, while the exterior temperature display and digital clock keep you informed of your environment during long treks across the state.

Refined Interior Comfort and Utility

The interior of this WRX Premium is finished in Carbon Black with Checkered Cloth Upholstery, providing a durable yet sporty aesthetic. The Performance Design Heated Front Bucket Seats are specifically bolstered to hold you in place during spirited driving, while the heated front seats and heated windshield wiper park provide essential warmth on those rare, chilly Southern mornings. The drivers seat offers 6-way directional controls, ensuring you can find the perfect ergonomic position for the 6-speed manual gearbox.

Practicality is woven into the design with 60-40 folding rear seats and a trunk with power cargo area access release. The cabin environment is maintained by automatic climate control and rear under seat climate control ducts, keeping all five passengers comfortable. Thoughtful touches like the leather shift knob, chrome and aluminum interior accents, and the Auto-Dimming Mirror with Compass and HomeLink elevate the daily driving experience. Whether you are loading up the cargo area tray for a weekend getaway or utilizing the covered floor console storage for personal items, the WRX balances its performance pedigree with genuine utility.

Comprehensive Safety and Stability

Safety is a cornerstone of the Subaru brand, and this WRX is equipped with a suite of features designed to protect and assist. The Active Torque Vectoring system acts as a brake-actuated limited slip differential, helping to tuck the nose into corners and maintain stability. Braking is handled by 4-wheel disc brakes with a 4-wheel antilock (ABS) system and Brake Assist, providing confident stopping power when you need it most.

The vehicle is equipped with an advanced 7-airbag system, including dual front impact airbags, front side impact airbags, occupant sensing airbags, and a driver side knee airbag. For added peace of mind during tight maneuvers in busy parking lots, the Rear mounted camera provides a clear view of what is behind you. Families will appreciate the manual rear child safety door locks and the LATCH system for secure car seat installation. Furthermore, the Electronic Stability Control and All-speed ABS and driveline traction control work tirelessly in the background to keep the vehicle on its intended path.

Athletic Exterior Design

Dressed in Crystal White Pearl, the exterior of the 2017 Subaru WRX Premium is both aggressive and sophisticated. The silhouette is defined by its monotone paint, black grille, and a functional rear lip spoiler that hints at the car's performance capabilities. It sits proudly on 18-inch gray aluminum alloy wheels wrapped in summer performance tires, filling the wheel arches perfectly.

Visibility is prioritized with projector beam halogen headlights featuring auto off control, complemented by front fog lights for adverse conditions. The power first-row sliding and tilting glass sunroof allows you to bring the outside in, while the light tinted windows offer a touch of privacy and heat rejection. Small details like the body-colored door handles, heated door mirrors, and the stainless steel quasi-dual exhaust with polished tailpipe finishers complete a look that is unmistakably WRX.
