Subaru’s New Black Edition: STI Sport R-Black Limited

Subaru has unveiled the STI Sport R-Black Limited, a new flagship trim for both the WRX S4 sedan and Levorg wagon in Japan. This special edition adds black exterior accents and premium interior features to the already sporty models.

The exterior of the STI Sport R-Black Limited is distinguished by its black mirror caps, roof antenna, and alloy wheels. The WRX also retains its signature large rear wing. The color palette includes a new Galaxy Purple Pearl option, previously seen on the US-spec WRX tS and BRZ Series.

Inside, the highlight is the pair of black Recaro seats with STI logos and red stitching. The cabin features black leather upholstery with suede-like inserts and red contrast stitching.

Under the hood, the STI Sport R-Black Limited retains the 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder boxer engine, producing 271 horsepower and 375 Nm of torque. Power is transmitted to all four wheels via a CVT with a virtual eight-speed manual mode.

For the 2025 model year, the standard WRX S4 and Levorg models also receive upgrades, including an improved ADAS suite.

The STI Sport R-Black Limited editions are priced at ¥5,302,000 for the WRX S4 and ¥5,368,000 for the Levorg. Subaru plans to produce 250 units of the WRX S4 and 900 units of the Levorg per month.
