2022 Subaru WRX vs 2021 Land Rover Discovery Comparison.

Rally-inspired sport compact cars are on the verge of extinction, but the next-generation Subaru WRX aims to reignite interest for this enthusiast-focused breed. With the death of the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo years ago, and the more recent exit of the Ford Focus RS, the WRX and the higher-performance WRX STI are the only remaining options for fans of the World Rally Championship—at least until the next-gen VW Golf R arrives. With the adoption of a new architecture that should improve driving dynamics, the possibility of a more powerful turbocharged flat-four engine, and the likelihood of a nicer interior, the 2022 WRX promises to be a big improvement over the outgoing version.

What's New for 2022?

Based on an official announcement that included a heavily veiled teaser image, Subaru will unleash the next generation of the WRX for the 2022 model year. While there are a lot of specifics that we still don't know, the aforementioned teaser and the spy photos that we've captured as well as our well-informed speculation have us chomping at the bit to see the production-intent version, which will boast a large hood scoop and bulging fenders.

If a Jeep is too conventional—or plain—for your outdoorsy family, consider the 2021 Land Rover Discovery: it provides a much more upscale vibe to accompany its impressive off-road capability. With room for up to seven people inside its posh, three-row cabin, the Discovery adds an extra layer of practicality over the two-row Grand Cherokee. A pair of turbocharged gasoline-powered engines are offered—a four-cylinder and a six-cylinder, both turbocharged—and all Discovery models come with an adjustable air suspension and standard all-wheel drive. The Discovery leverages Land Rover's legendary go-anywhere reputation and backs it up by offering an optional two-speed transfer case and a locking rear differential for maximum overlanding freedom. There's even a Wade mode that's set up to improve the Discovery's water-fording capability. Try that in your Porsche Cayenne or Volvo XC90.

What's New for 2021?

Land Rover has given the Discovery a fairly thorough refresh for 2021 that includes two new turbocharged engines—a 296-hp four-cylinder and a 355-hp six-cylinder—as well as a new Pivi Pro infotainment system with an 11.4-inch display. A new grille, tweaked exterior lighting elements, and new wheel designs give the Disco a visual update, and a new R-Dynamic model—complete with glossy black exterior accents—joins the lineup. Land Rover has improved rear-seat comfort by adding additional padding to the second-row chairs. There's a new 12.3-inch digital gauge display and a full-color head-up display for the driver; a toggle-style gear selector is also new and all Discovery models now come standard with an adjustable air suspension.
