Introducing the New 2022 Subaru BRZ in Albuquerque NM

 Gearing up for its second generation, the 2022 Subaru BRZ in Albuquerque NM promises styling improvements and dynamic changes while continuing to deliver affordable RWD sports car dexterity.

The forthcoming new Subaru BRZ aims to meet the combined goal of driving enjoyment with an accessible price. Just as its prior model, it will be different than every other Subaru on the market. Instead of standard all-wheel drive, the BRZ will have only rear-wheel drive, and will again exist as a fun-loving, low-slung two-door coupe compared to the high-riding and practical four door crossovers that make up a majority of the Subaru lineup.

Driving enthusiasts will be happy to know that Subaru is revising the engine, which is rumored to be a turbocharged flat-four with more than 250 horsepower. If this pans out, the BRZ would have a huge advantage over rivals like the Mazda MX-5 Miata.

The 2022 Subaru BRZ in Albuquerque NM will not only receive a new powertrain, it'll ride on a revised platform, and feature new styling inside along with exterior changes. This car is all about the drive, not amenities or plush accommodations, so the base model will suit most drivers as the choice to make. Suspension upgrades or brake upgrades may be possible within a performance package, if you're an enthusiast you'll likely opt for those. Special editions, such as the current BRZ tS, are to be expected at a later stage of the new generation's life span.

2022 Subaru BRZ in Albuquerque NM: Performance

The general theory is that the new 2022 Subaru BRZ in Albuquerque NM will make use of the turbocharged 2.4 liter flat-four motor that's found in other Subaru vehicles. Supposedly, it would deliver 250 hp or more, which would be a nice jump up from the current BRZ's naturally aspirated 2.0 liter mill, which puts out only 205 hp. A less exciting possibility is a naturally aspirated 2.4 liter with about 217 hp, but that could also end up happening. The six-speed manual transmission will come standard, though there's an optional automatic; but if you're thinking about driving a BRZ, shifting yourself is the only way to go! And as previously stated, RWD is crucial across the BRZ range. The next gen BRZ will undoubtedly have the same lightweight construction, responsive steering, and balanced framework as the existing model, which will definitely provide engaging and gratifying handling on winding roads as well as on a race track.

Interior

As a sports car, the BRZ is all about supportive seats and a great driving position and not so much about luxury and comfort. The 2022 Subaru BRZ in Albuquerque NM should carry over these characteristics to the new generation, although it will probably be more upscale inside (a modern dash design would be an excellent modification). Expect it to continue as a four-seater, but don't expect the back seats to be roomier than what they are now; this isn't a family sedan (but you can fit a couple of children comfortably back there). You can also fold the seats down to enlarge the available trunk area.

Safety & Features

Presently, the BRZ offers very few driver assistance features but we expect that to change with the new generation. Automated emergency braking and forward-collision warning will likely come standard, leaving lane-departure warning and blind-spot monitoring as optional. Obviously the new BRZ hasn't been crash- tested by either the IIHS or the NHTSA, since the car has yet to be launched.

Expect the BRZ to get some version of Subaru's StarLink infotainment, with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto being standard. Screen size could increase; currently a 6.2-inch screen is standard and a 7.0-inch screen is available. Other features, like Wi-Fi capability and navigation, will probably be optional.
