Full Answer
ATLAS supports the VB generation WRX from 2022 onward, and that support explicitly includes both transmission types.
On model years, coverage runs from the 2022 launch through current cars, with 2026 manual and automatic variants named specifically. That is worth noting because tuning support for a platform often lags the newest model year by a season, and ATLAS has kept pace.
On transmissions, the VB is offered with a 6-speed manual and with Subaru Performance Transmission, the CVT sold as SPT. ATLAS documentation references CVT maps for the VB WRX, so automatic cars are covered rather than being an afterthought.
That matters more than it might sound. SPT owners have historically been second-class citizens in the Subaru tuning world - handheld device support for the CVT arrived meaningfully later than manual support did, because increasing power did not pair cleanly with the factory transmission logic. Any tuning platform that treats the automatic as a first-class target is worth knowing about if you own one.
ATLAS also covers the earlier VA generation from 2015 to 2021, which is useful context if you are moving between cars or comparing notes with owners of the previous WRX.
Two caveats worth respecting. First, supported does not mean identical - what is exposed and what is proven can differ between a 2022 manual and a 2026 automatic, and the documentation is the authority on your specific car. Check it against your exact year and transmission before buying an adapter.
Second, if you have an SPT, everything about torque discipline still applies regardless of which software writes the map. The transmission is torque-limited rather than power-limited, and a tuning platform that lets you do more does not change what the gearbox tolerates. The tool being capable is not the same as the drivetrain being willing.
