What makes the 2025 Subaru WRX tS in Albuquerque NM the perfect car to drive around?
There are all types of cars and trucks to drive in the streets around New Mexico’s capital city, but there’s a case to be made for the turbocharged 2025 Subaru WRX tS. In a high altitude city like Albuquerque, most high-performance vehicles lose 7-12% of their horsepower and torque. But the WRX tS retains all 271 HP and 258 lb./ft. torque from its turbo flat six engine. It’s able to augment that power with Subaru’s symmetric all-wheel drive system with active torque vectoring. This type of advanced drivetrain puts the power down easily on asphalt, dirt or any surface encountered. And while it’s not recommended to take it too far off-road with the low ground clearance the WRX tS has, it’s nice to know that specially built variants of the WRX have competed and won in multiple international off-road rally championships. Beyond performance, the 2025 Subaru WRX tS has much more to offer in and around the city itself. Its four door body offers plenty of room for four passengers (and their bags or cargo) for exploring the hotels, restaurants and shopping this southwestern wonderland offers. The sleek Subaru WRX body increases torsional rigidity by 14% and has blister flares, trunk spoiler and a functional hood scoop to let admirers know that this is no poser vehicle. Meanwhile, it’s the interior that really clinches the deal.
The 2025 Subaru WRX tS near Albuquerque NM interior has an eye-catching blue on black color scheme, with the distinctive Subaru blue accents appearing on the ultrasuede Recaro seat bolsters, steering wheel, door panels and shifter (six-speed or CVT). There’s also Subaru WRX tS logos sewn into the headrests and stamped onto the start button itself. Technology abounds with digital LED instrumentation, including a 11.6” color touchscreen built into the center console. This provides easy access to AM/FM/XM/HD radio, Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and backup camera to keep you (and your passengers) out of trouble. Advanced safety systems like Subaru’s EyeSight Driver Assist also help, with adaptive cruise control, pre-collision braking, lane departure and slippery condition warnings, among others. But beyond this blend of safety, comfort and technology, the 2025 Subaru WRX tS blends all of it into one eye-catching package that would be equally at home on mountain roads as it would be pulling up next to Geronimo’s restaurant on Canyon Road. Subaru matched all that with an upgraded brake package that includes six-piston ABS Brembo brakes up front and dual piston calipers out back. Putting all this stopping power down are 19” satin grey alloys wrapped in Bridgestone Potenza S007 performance radials. This will work well in most dry or wet conditions, but WRX tS pilots would be well-advised to buy a separate winter wheel and tire package to make the package truly four season ready in the Albuquerque climate.
A word of caution here: the 2025 Subaru WRX tS offers amazing performance, but please don’t drive on the street as you would on the racetrack! To that end, Suika Circuit is a racetrack just west of the city (100 Speedway Park Blvd) that offers high speed thrills for those with the driving skills to explore it. With 13 turns around a closed circuit, you can learn to drift or drive the fast line. And while the Subaru WRX tS offers racecar-like performance, the engine is tuned to use premium unleaded gas, without the need for pricey race fuel. Mileage figures for the manual transmission are 19 city, 28 highway and 21 MPG combined, although you can expect this to drop after a hot lap session at the track. Clearly, the 2025 Subaru WRX tS in Albuquerque NM offers quite a bit of performance, but also a touch of elegance mixed with the latest technology to make it one special car.
