Now that the official price and release date have been announced, the only thing left is the specifications. Fortunately, for those who have been waiting, the key specs of the 2022 Subaru BRZ for the Philippine market are here and they are more impressive than variants in Japan and North America.
Sources from Motor Image Pilipinas—the official distributor of Subaru in the Philippines—have revealed the specs of the all-new BRZ. Fans of the nameplate would be glad to know that the Philippine-spec BRZ has more power than its counterparts in Japan and the United States.
To be exact, local variants of the BRZ will have 237 PS at 7,000 rpm, while the models in North America only have 231 PS and models in Japan have only 235 PS. This increase in power is due to the higher compression ratio. However, the torque figure is the same for all regions, 250 Nm @ 3,700 rpm. The car can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.3 seconds with the manual variant and 6.8 seconds with the automatic variant.
