GarageCalc Where 5.5 s sits
At 5.5 s the Subaru WRX is quick (4.5 to 6.0 s). 47 of the 70 vehicles in the database are quicker and 20 are slower, so it beats 29% of the field. Among performance sedan models it ranks #7 of 7, in a category that runs from 3.1 s (BMW M5 (F90)) to 5.5 s (Subaru WRX), with 6 performance sedan models ahead of it.
The dataset does not retain a source URL or rollout method for every entry. Treat the 5.5 s figure as a reference, and verify a matching model year, trim and test method before making a close comparison. To estimate quarter-mile elapsed time and trap speed from power and weight, use the quarter mile calculator; and before fitting bigger wheels, check the tire size comparison, because a larger tire diameter lengthens the effective gearing and blunts the launch.
Frequently asked questions
How fast is the Subaru WRX 0-60?
5.5 s is the curated reference value in this database. That is #48 of 70 vehicles in our database and #7 of 7 performance sedan models; 20 vehicles (29%) are slower. Actual results depend on test method, surface, temperature and launch; this is not a guaranteed test range.
Is the Subaru WRX quicker than the Ford Explorer ST?
They tie at 5.5 s in this database. That does not establish identical performance under matched test conditions.
Which model years does the 5.5 s figure cover?
The 2022-2026 Subaru WRX with the 2.4L flat-4 turbo powertrain. Other engines or trims of the same model can differ by a second or more, so match the powertrain before comparing.
