The new model’s flat-four boxer turbo engine’s size has been increased from the previous model’s 2.0L to 2.4L. It produces 275PS and 375Nm of torque, which is 25PS less powerful and 25Nm less in torque than the previous model. Less fuel-efficient compared to the old one as well because of its 10.8km/L fuel economy based on WLTC Mode standards.
The new WRX S4 features a different kind of gearbox built specifically for this car. Called Subaru Performance Transmission, a sport-tuned CVT with an 8-speed manual mode that delivers 30% faster upshifts and 50% faster downshifts compared to the previous WRX S4’s Sport Lineartronic CVT. Sounds cheesy but it feels slightly more engaging.
The new variant features bigger Brembo brakes with six-piston front and two-piston rear calipers, 19-inch wheels, 245/35 Bridgestone Potenza summer tires, and Eyesight, a first for a MT-mated VB WRX. Still runs on a 271hp 2.4L turbocharged flat-4 engine.

I was talking to Subaru about that when I picked up my 2022 Premium VB WRX, apparently Subaru has no plans to produce the STi ever again, due to their focusing on an all-electric performance focused model dubbed the “STe” to take the place of the STi in their lineup.
The description is slightly incorrect, as it is comparing the performance statistics from the last generation STi with the 2.5L compared to the current generation VB WRX with the 2.4L, the last generation VA WRX had a 2.0L flat 4 that was 5 or so less horsepower and ft/lbs of torque compared to the current generation. Furthermore, despite the current VB WRX having less power than the last generation STi, the 0 to 60 times, as well as 1/4 mile times are extremely comparable, with the VB WRX oftentimes coming out on top during head to head testing. I may be biased, but I’m confident people will eventually come around to the tuning possibilities, as well as aesthetics of the new generation, I did, despite being in the market originally for a used 2021 STi. My 2022 VB WRX Premium for posterity.
