The current Subaru WRX is 183.9″ long, 72″ wide, on a 105.5″ wheelbase, weighing 3,411 lb. Since 2015 it has grown 2% in length and gained 3% in weight. At 15.3 feet it fits a standard garage and fits a street parking space.
Every Subaru WRX generation, measured
One row per generation. Watch the weight column — that is where most of the change happens, and it is the number that decides fuel use, tyre wear and how far the car takes to stop.
| Generation | Length | Width | Height | Wheelbase | Curb weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2015–2021 | 180.7″ | 70.1″ | 56.7″ | 104.3″ | 3,318 lb |
| 2022–2026 | 183.9″ | 72″ | 57.9″ | 105.5″ | 3,411 lb |
From 2015 to today the WRX gained 3.1″ of length (2%) and 93 lb of weight (3%). A modern compact often outweighs the mid-size car of a generation before.
WRX year by year
Measured every model year, not just at generation changes — 12 years on record. Small moves inside a generation are facelifts; the jumps are new platforms.
| Model year | Length | Width | Wheelbase | Curb weight | Body styles |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 183.9″ | 72″ | 105.5″ | 3 | |
| 2025 | 183.9″ | 72″ | 105.5″ | 3 | |
| 2024 | 183.9″ | 72″ | 105.5″ | 3 | |
| 2023 | 183.9″ | 72″ | 105.5″ | 3 | |
| 2022 | 183.9″ | 72″ | 105.5″ | 3 | |
| 2021 | 180.7″ | 70.1″ | 104.3″ | 2 | |
| 2020 | 180.7″ | 70.1″ | 104.3″ | 2 | |
| 2019 | 180.7″ | 70.1″ | 104.3″ | 2 | |
| 2018 | 180.7″ | 70.1″ | 104.3″ | 2 | |

| 2015 | 180.7″ | 70.1″ | 104.3″ | 2 |
Will a WRX fit
The practical question behind every dimensions search. A single-car garage in the US is typically 20 feet deep; a street parking space is about 18. We allow a foot of clearance in both — nobody parks to the millimetre.
| Space | Typical size | This car | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single garage | 20 ft deep | 15.3 ft | Fits, with room to open the door |
| Street parking space | 18 ft | 15.3 ft | Fits comfortably |
| Standard parking bay width | 8.5 ft wide | 6 ft | Room to open doors both sides |
Against cars of the same length
Compared with 1,048 vehicles within ten inches of the same length — a fair proxy for «cars of this size», regardless of what the marketing calls them.
| Measure | This car | Typical car of this length | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Width | 72″ | 72″ | +0.0″ |
| Wheelbase | 105.5″ | 107.1″ | -1.6″ |
| Curb weight | 3,411 lb | 3,571 lb | -160 lb |
A longer wheelbase for the same overall length means shorter overhangs — usually more cabin space and a steadier ride. Lighter than typical for its size generally means better fuel economy and shorter stopping distances.

How we measure
Dimensions come from NHTSA vPIC and Transport Canada vehicle records — manufacturer-declared figures, held in metric and converted to inches and pounds for display.
One row per generation, not per model year: manufacturers rarely change the body between facelifts, and a table of forty near-identical rows helps nobody. Where a generation offered several body styles, the figures are the base measurements for that generation.
