If you’re considering short-term Subaru WRX ownership, now might be the time
Need all-wheel drive, but don’t require the cargo space of an SUV? There are few better options than the Subaru WRX, which can even be had with a manual transmission for added driving thrills. There’s good news for fans of this iconic sedan looking to get behind the wheel, too. Subaru’s July lease deal allows you to hop in the driver’s seat for just $429 per month for 36 months. You’ll need $3,179 due at signing and have 10,000 miles allotted per year.
The lease offer stipulates an MSRP of $38,920, which gets you a 2025 Subaru WRX Premium. The offer is available in every market in the contiguous US that we checked against. That includes Pacific Northwest markets, the New York metro, Miami, Chicago, Los Angeles, and the Southwest. That said, picking up a WRX definitely makes more sense for shoppers in the northern parts of the country who will be able to take full advantage of the car’s all-wheel drive powertrain. Finally, these figures don’t include tax, title, or other fees, and you should check the latest offers on the Subaru special offers page.
Want a $0 down Subaru WRX lease?
By spreading the down payment across the 36-month term, we can get a rough idea of what a $0 down lease looks like in July 2025 on the Subaru WRX. Your new monthly payment sits at $518, but after local taxes and other fees, your payment will likely be higher. This isn’t an official quote, and as usual, please ask your Subaru dealership for the most up-to-date pricing.
More about the Subaru WRX
There’s a lot to love about the Subaru WRX. Thanks to an optional manual transmission, it’s a hit with enthusiasts, and for good reason. Its peppy, turbocharged 2.4-liter boxer four-cylinder puts up solid numbers: 271 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. All-wheel drive is standard, of course, and it comes with almost everything drivers really need. Dual-zone climate control, an 11.6-inch central display, plenty of USB ports, and keyless access are all standard. Neat touches like red contrast stitching, aluminum pedal covers, and a flat-bottomed steering wheel further give the WRX a bit of performance car cred.
Final thoughts
The WRX remains a great alternative to models like the Golf GTI, GR Corolla, and Elantra N, delicately balancing performance with usability and price. With the lease offer Subaru is running in July 2025, we think the car remains a solid buy. Leasing performance (or performance-adjacent) cars is also a fairly safe route to go if you’re dipping your toes into quick, engaging cars. It’s a good way to experience different models and also reasonably fiscally responsible, as you’ll dodge any long-term issues or have them fixed under warranty.
