Even the baseline WRX can hit speeds of 155 to 159 mph. However, it&rsquo;s still slower than its STI version by at least 15 mph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"article-search-widget\">\n<div class=\"cp-search\">\n<div align=\"center\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cld.partsimg.com\/image\/upload\/w_auto,dpr_auto\/carparts\/logos\/badge_wordmark\/full_color\/CP_LOGO_COLOUR_RGB\" alt=\"CarParts.com\" width=\"300\" height=\"56\">\n<\/div>\n<form id=\"cpsearchform\" name=\"cpsearchform\" action=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/search\" method=\"get\" target=\"_blank\" accept-charset=\"character_set\" aria-label=\"search CarParts.com\">\n    <input type=\"text\" class=\"keyword\" name=\"q\" placeholder=\"Search for parts on CarParts.com\" value=\"\" aria-label=\"Search CarParts.com\"><input type=\"submit\" class=\"btn-search\" value=\"Search\" aria-label=\"Search\">\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other Differences Between the Subaru WRX and Subaru WRX STI<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So what makes the Subaru WRX STI faster than the WRX? For one thing, the former has more power at its disposal. The WRX STI has a 2.5-liter engine compared to the WRX&rsquo;s 2.0-liter engine. Larger engines produce more horsepower and torque.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The transmission also plays a role in speed as well as driving experience. The WRX and WRX STI both have manual transmissions with six speeds. However, the WRX STI has a close-ratio transmission. Limited-slip differentials on the front and rear improve the efficiency at which power goes to the wheels on both sides, increasing the sports car&rsquo;s acceleration and top speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2022-subaru-wrx-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"orange 2022 subaru wrx\" class=\"wp-image-79683\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2022-subaru-wrx-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2022-subaru-wrx-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2022-subaru-wrx-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2022-subaru-wrx-600x400.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2022-subaru-wrx-1200x800.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2022-subaru-wrx-150x100.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2022-subaru-wrx.jpeg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption>The WRX can hit speeds of 155 to 159 mph.
