What the ratings mean
NHTSA gives the 2024 Subaru WRX 5 out of 5 stars overall, level with the 5-star median for the 11 comparable 2024 vehicles NHTSA rated in this class.
NHTSA published results for every NCAP test in this program, so the overall star rating rests on a complete set of crash and rollover results.
NHTSA's dynamic test put this vehicle's rollover probability at 9% in a single-vehicle crash — the figure behind the rollover star rating, published here because the star alone hides how wide each band is.

How this compares
At 21 MPG combined, the 2024 Subaru WRX ranks 14th of 14 midsize cars EPA rated for 2024 — 8.5 MPG short of the 29.5 MPG median for that group.
That places it among the thirstiest vehicles in its class. If annual mileage is high, the running-cost gap against a class-average rival compounds quickly.
EPA puts annual fuel spend at about $3,600, $1,600 more than the $2,000 typical for the class. Over five years at 15,000 miles a year that is roughly $18,000, a $8,000 difference against a class-median vehicle.
Tailpipe CO₂ is 422 grams per mile — about 6.3 metric tons over 15,000 miles of driving.
