BRZ Subaru Production Has Been Stopped In Japan, North America Still Continues

JAKARTA - Recently, Subaru announced it was discontinuing the production of BRZ models in 2024 in Japan even though its stock is still available in local dealer networks. However, this has no impact on other markets such as North America.

The six-star logo manufacturer will also bring updates to the sports car and is scheduled to debut in the region in early July.

Reporting from Carscoops, Saturday, June 1, Subaru is accelerating in presenting a refresh on the BRZ model for 2025. It is estimated that the changes are quite minor which focus on adding features compared to exterior changes to interior.

This includes the addition of Sport driving mode in the manual version of six accelerations. This feature previously existed in automatic transmission. This system will provide access to changes in settings on the thrust.

Then, the Active Sound Control feature will also automatically adjust based on selected driving modes, reflecting the functionality of the automatic transmission model.

For a six-speed automatic transmission BRZ, Subaru engineers are expanding manual gear transfer options to cover a wider range of RPMs, providing greater flexibility and control to drivers.

Another improvement is the presence of Brembo braking as an optional equipped with a suspension developed by STI. In addition, Subaru will introduce a slightly updated tire pressure monitoring function and sein light lever.

For its performance, the latest Subaru BRZ is equipped with a naturally-assired 2.4 liter boxer engine with a power of 232 dk and a torque of 250 Nm. In addition, it is estimated that this car will get the latest ECU.

Although the information is still very small, it is likely that the manufacturer will offer the bottom trim of the BRZ Cup Car Basic and top STI Sport.
