The WRX tS has a high-performance Brembo braking system, including 6-piston front and 2-piston rear calipers in gold color, and larger pads and rotors. The system provides enhanced stopping power, fade resistance, and pedal feel. The tS also comes standard with 245/35 R19 Bridgestone Potenza S007 tires for increased wet and dry grip and improved braking performance.

The latest generation WRX has a “wide-body design.” At the front, Subaru’s signature hexagonal grille is paired with a compact headlight design and broad front hood scoop. So-called character lines across the vehicle’s front, sides, and rear are claimed to further emphasize the sports sedan’s strength and performance capability. The exterior foldable mirrors, roof-mounted shark fin antenna, and rear spoiler are now finished in Crystal Black Silica . The rear deck lid has the tS badge.

On the inside, the WRX tS has an all-new 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, which is said to improve legibility and show additional information to the driver, including map display and route guidance information. The seat bolsters, steering wheel, door panels, and shifter trim have blue accents. The STI logo is on the ignition start button. For weight savings, lower center of gravity, and additional headroom for helmeted drivers, the power moon-roof has been deleted.
