What is the engine model of the Subaru BRZ?
2 Answers
The engine model of the Subaru BRZ is FA20. The function of the engine is to convert the thermal energy of gasoline into mechanical energy by burning and expanding the gas in a sealed cylinder, thereby pushing the piston to perform work. Taking the 2020 Subaru BRZ as an example, it is a 2-door, 4-seater hardtop sports car with body dimensions of 4240mm in length, 1775mm in width, and 1320mm in height, a wheelbase of 2570mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. The 2020 Subaru BRZ is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 200PS, a maximum power of 147kW, and a maximum torque of 205Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
As a car enthusiast, I've been following the BRZ since its first generation. Its engine is the Subaru FA20D, a 2.0-liter horizontally opposed four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine. Co-developed by Subaru and Toyota, this boxer engine design lowers the vehicle's center of gravity, making the BRZ more stable and agile in corners. It delivers sharp high-RPM responsiveness with over 200 horsepower, offering linear acceleration though slightly conservative at higher speeds. It shines on the track, but requires regular oil changes to prevent carbon buildup during maintenance. This flat-four layout also reduces vibrations and enhances driving balance, offering solid baseline potential for tuners.
