Exclusive to Canada, the 2014 Subaru WRX STI Tsurugi Edition brings a new level of sophistication to the WRX STI lineup. This potent 4-door delivers more comfort and includes exciting new features such as luxurious leather seating, distinct 18-inch Enkei wheels and a 10-inch Kicker® subwoofer to name but a few — but don’t be fooled into thinking the Tsurugi Edition is not a true WRX STI under the skin.

Powered by the same 305-horsepower turbocharged SUBARU BOXER, the Tsurugi Edition also shares Subaru symmetrical full-time AWD, HID headlights, fog lights and a front lip spoiler unique to the WRX STI fleet. In Japanese culture, a “tsurugi” is a double-sided broadsword — the perfect name for a car that blends aggressive performance with sophisticated design.
