Hate The New WRX? This Subaru WRX Kaminari Edition Will Change Your Mind.
Everyone loves to hate on the new WRX. The 2026 Kaminari Edition proves them wrong.
Welcome back! In today's video, we are spending 11 minutes deep-diving into the brand new 2026 Subaru WRX Kaminari Edition. This is a Canada-exclusive trim limited to just 150 units, packed with track-ready hardware and painted in the unmissable Sunrise Yellow. (For the US viewers, this is exactly what you get with the Series.Yellow!).
Instead of complaining about the plastic cladding, we’re focusing on the mechanicals that actually matter. Subaru took the top-tier tS model and sharpened it specifically for the enthusiast driver: massively upgraded 6-piston Brembo brakes, exclusively retuned adaptive electronic dampers, tightly bolstered Recaro bucket seats, and strictly a 6-speed manual transmission.
Does this special edition finally redeem the current generation WRX? Is it worth the premium price tag in Canada and the US? Let’s take it out on the road and find out.
