斯巴鲁近日在日本发布了仅在当地销售的WRX S4。该车基于日规2015款WRX，S4看起来与海外版一模一样，但配备了更轻，更坚固的18英寸合金轮圈，更突出的前扰流唇，LED日间行驶灯条。车厢内采用碳纤维质感仪表板，红色缝线，黑色钢琴漆和金属装饰件。该车动力系统同样为一台2.0升四缸直喷涡轮增压引擎，但功率提升至221千瓦/300马力@5600转/分，峰值扭矩400牛米@2000-4800转/分。而美规2015款WRX功率为200千瓦/272马力，扭矩349牛米。日规车搭配Lineartronic CVT变速器，采用全自动电控，而美规车提供六速手动变速器。不过，所有版本都标配斯巴鲁开发的左右对称全轮驱动系统，该系统采用了可变扭矩分配技术。目前，日规WRX S4已经开始接受预订，同时WRX STI也已经可以订购。

 

Subaru introduces WRX S4 in Japan

Subaru has unveiled the WRX S4 which will be sold exclusively in Japan.

 

Basically a JDM version of the 2015 WRX, the S4 looks virtually identical as the international version but comes with fresh 18-inch alloy wheels which promise to be more rigid and lighter. It also has a more prominent front spoiler lip, LED daytime running light bars along with carbon fiber-like finish on the dashboard and other similar minor tweaks such as red stitching, piano black finishes and metallic accents.

 

Under the hood it's the same four-cylinder, 2.0-liter direct-injection turbocharged engine but it delivers 300 PS (221 kW) at 5,600 rpm and 400 Nm (295 lb-ft) between 2,000 rpm and 4,800 rpm. As a reminder, the US-spec 2015MY WRX offers 272 PS (200 kW) and 349 Nm (258 lb-ft). In Japan, the engine is connected to a Lineartronic continuously variable transmission (CVT) with fully automatic electronic control whereas the American model is also available with a six-speed manual gearbox. All versions come with Subaru's newly developed Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system featuring Variable Torque Distribution technology.

 

The JDM-spec WRX S4 is already available on order at Subaru's dealerships in Japan where customers can also place an order for the WRX STI.
