2022 Subaru Brz Shows Its Face Ahead Of November 18th Debut

Besides confirming the debut date, Subaru released a new teaser image which shows the coupe’s front end.

While it’s only a partial shot, it reveals the 2022 BRZ will have new headlights with integrated LED daytime running lights. We can also see a sculpted hood and black accents near the air intake.

That isn’t much to go on, but previous spy photos have shown a large honeycomb mesh grille and vertical air intakes which are surround by black scoops. The car also has a rakish windscreen, an angular beltline and streamlined bodywork.

The rear end is more elegant as the model adopts a new trunk with an integrated spoiler. It resides above a dual exhaust system and slender taillights which are connected by a thin bar.

Performance specifications remain unconfirmed, but one report suggested the BRZ will have a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 217 hp (162 kW / 220 PS) and 177 lb-ft (240 Nm) of torque. That’s far from official, but it would be a modest improvement over the current 2.0-liter four-cylinder that develops up to 205 hp (153 kW / 208 PS) and 156 lb-ft (212 Nm) of torque.

As before, we can expect a choice of manual and automatic transmissions. There’s no word on gear counts at this point, but the manual will likely be a six-speed unit while the six-speed automatic could be replaced by something a bit more modern.

While a lot of questions remain, the BRZ will once again favor handling and lightness over big horsepower ratings.
