An STI-tuned model that embodies Subaru’s sporty spirit
Subaru is known for its sporty models that pursue driving pleasure, such as the WRX STI. At this year’s Tokyo Auto Salon, many tuning models created by STI will be on display.
One model that has attracted particular attention is the “STI Sport PURPLE EDITION,” developed based on the BRZ STI Sport . It features the first “Galaxy Purple Pearl” body color for a BRZ for the Japanese market, and coordinates the exterior with black parts to create a high-quality, aggressive style. The interior features silver-gray accents throughout, achieving both sportiness and refinement.
The STI Sport PURPLE EDITION is reminiscent of the 2025 BRZ tS, a special edition model for North America that was announced in October. The 2025 BRZ tS features a Galaxy Purple Pearl exterior, black badges, 18-inch satin silver wheels, Ultrasuede interior trim, a short-throw shifter, and a flexible V-bar, providing both high driving performance and a premium ride.
The STI Sport PURPLE EDITION will be sold in limited quantities in the future, and is sure to attract the attention of many Subaru fans, starting with its unveiling at the Tokyo Auto Salon.
STI performance parts that further enhance driving enjoyment
In addition to the “STI Sport PURPLE EDITION,” the Subaru/STI booth will also feature special edition vehicles equipped with STI performance parts.
The WRX S4 STI Sport R Black Limited is based on the WRX S4 STI Sport R EX and features black RECARO front seats. The interior and exterior are unified in black, giving the model an even more sporty look.
The ” LEVORG LAYBACK Black Selection “ is a model based on the LEVORG LAYBACK Limited EX, with a black-based interior and exterior that enhances its premium feel.
These special edition vehicles are equipped with STI performance parts to further enhance their driving performance and styling. Subaru owners might want to look for parts that can be installed on their own vehicles.
Subaru’s first strong hybrid model “CROSSTREK STRONG HYBRID”
Subaru is also focusing on environmental performance. At the Tokyo Auto Salon, Subaru’s first strong hybrid model, the CROSSTREK STRONG HYBRID STI performance, will be on display.
The base model is the CROSSTREK Premium S:HEV EX, which, when fitted with STI performance parts, has been customized to make hybrid driving even more enjoyable.
The CROSSTREK STRONG HYBRID is equipped with a hybrid system that combines a 2.5-liter horizontally opposed engine with a 1.1kWh lithium-ion battery and two motors. The engine alone produces 158 horsepower, and the motors produce 158 horsepower, achieving both powerful acceleration and excellent fuel economy.
A talk show will also be held at the Tokyo Auto Salon to showcase the appeal of the CROSSTREK STRONG HYBRID. Professional Subaru/STI drivers and developers will take to the stage, and motor journalist Manabu Kawaguchi will act as MC to provide a detailed explanation of Subaru’s first strong hybrid model.
