Is the Subaru BRZ imported?
2 Answers
The Subaru BRZ is imported, as it is a 2-door, 4-seater hardtop sports car produced by Subaru, and it is originally imported from Japan. Taking the 2020 Subaru BRZ as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4240mm, width 1775mm, height 1320mm, with a wheelbase of 2570mm and a minimum ground clearance of 130mm. The 2020 Subaru BRZ is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 147kW at 7000 rpm, a maximum torque of 250Nm, and is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
I've always been a Subaru fan, and the BRZ is indeed an imported vehicle. It's primarily manufactured at the Gunma plant in Japan and then shipped worldwide for sale. This means that whether you're buying a BRZ in China or elsewhere, it's essentially imported as a complete unit rather than being locally assembled. As an imported car, the BRZ boasts advantages like refined craftsmanship and an authentic driving experience—for instance, its engine is finely tuned for responsiveness. However, the downside is the higher price tag due to tariffs and shipping costs, and maintenance parts often need to be ordered from Japan, leading to slightly longer wait times. I'd advise potential buyers to budget for these additional expenses upfront. Additionally, the BRZ and Toyota 86 are sibling models, sharing a platform but each with distinct characteristics—this import strategy helps maintain their niche appeal. Overall, the BRZ is quite reliable, but if you're cost-sensitive, it might warrant some careful consideration.
