The Subaru WRX STI is a high-performance variant of the WRX sedan produced by Subaru Tecnica International (STI) between 2014 and 2021, succeeding the Subaru Impreza WRX STI. The production of the WRX STI concluded after its first generation, and there are currently no plans for a VB WRX STI. STI also offers factory-backed accessories available from dealerships, accented in STI's signature cherry blossom as a tribute to Japan's iconic tree.
In its first generation (VA; 2014-2021), the VA WRX STI was introduced alongside the VA WRX, featuring upgraded brakes, the renowned Subaru Tecnica International tuned EJ257 4-cylinder engine, an uprated 6-speed manual transmission, a unique body kit, and spoiler. The interior enhancements included an STI-exclusive gauge cluster, shifter knob, and other unique features, such as Recaro bucket seats in select models. The WRX STI had a red accented interior, distinguishing it from the WRX's black and grey interior theme.
