Is the Subaru WRX AWD?

I love rallycross, so I’ve had my eye on a Subaru WRX for years. Now that I have some extra savings, I’m going to buy one. I just want to make sure it has the handling that I want. Does the Subaru WRX come with AWD?

Like every other Subaru, the
Subaru WRX
is AWD. This is true for all model years and trims.
If you want to get that authentic rallycross feel, this is certainly the car for you, as it’s fine-tuned to handle the tightest curves without losing any grip or speed.
The Subaru WRX pairs its AWD drivetrain with a 2.4-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 271 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. That’s a ton of power for a car of its size.
Choose from either a continuously variable transmission (CVT) or a six-speed manual transmission to get the most out of your driving experience.
