Between my outdoor lifestyle and a family residing on the Gold Coast which landscape combines the best of both worlds – the ocean and the rainforest – the Subaru WRX Sportswagon perfectly aligns with the need for a versatile means of getting about, making it a great sportswagon for family outings.
On a winter weekend, there's nothing we enjoy more than venturing westward, away from the crowds, into the winding mountain roads of the hinterland. Piled into the spacious family sportswagon, the cabin offers so much room and comfortably accommodates the kids. The spacious sportswagon boot filled with an esky, gas and chairs, all ready for a barbecue after the hike in and swim at one of the waterfalls in Gold Coast's rainforests.
The spirited Subaru WRX turbocharged 2.4-litre Boxer engine always makes for an exhilarating drive up the twisty roads, with confidence in the grip of Subaru's Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. When it's time to unpack, the Subaru WRX Sportswagon comes loaded with conveniences. The powered tailgate with hands-free badge sensor*The powered tailgate with hands-free badge sensor is only available on WRX Sportswagon AWD GT and WRX Sportswagon AWD tS. and remote key locking – comes especially in handy when everyone's arms are laden with gear.
For days when the ocean is calling, the Subaru WRX Sportswagon is an equally good family sportswagon with the optional Thule roof racks, sold separately, making it light work to strap down the boards, leaving plenty of room inside for the kids to hassle what music they want to listen to by using voice command on the Apple CarPlay™*Compatible Apple® device required.. On the days we only have a couple of boards we can even go 100% internal with the sportswagon space combined with the 20/40/20 rear seats allowing 2 boards and 4x family and gear to arrive at the beach still in comfort.
When it comes to family, safety is top of mind and the Subaru WRX Sportswagon has those key Subaru safety features like EyeSight® Driver Assist system*EyeSight® Driver Assist system available on Sport Lineartronic® transmission variants only. and the Driver Monitoring System*Driver Monitoring System (DMS) not available on Subaru WRX AWD manual and WRX AWD Sport Lineartronic®.
