A few days ago, foreign media have exposed a group Subaru 2020–2023 product planning. From the current exposure of the plan, we can see the Subaru BRZ, Impreza WRX and STI models such as number of the figure, and in the spring of 2022, Subaru is also expected to introduce a pure electric vehicle.
where the most performance enthusiasts certainly lifted appearance of the Subaru BRZ. After all, August 9th, Japan’s Subaru factory has stopped production, in order to refresh the product line, we still wonder if the initial BRZ this cut-off, but then the exposure on the network a new car road test spy photos, and now see fit product planning, should be a real hammer, BRZ was able to resume production.

From the known current news, the new generation will be equipped with a BRZ horizontally opposed turbo 2.4T compression engine, compared to cash 2.0L naturally aspirated engine models equipped with the power level is not a small increase, for performance enthusiasts, the temptation is great.
but one thing, the new upgrade of the BRZ will be introduced to the domestic market by the official do? The author is with skepticism, after all, than the current model, the new car power upgrade at the same time, the price is unlikely to maintain the status quo, then the problem becomes how to ensure profit margins Subaru must face. After all, vehicle positioning Subaru BRZ was already destined to be a niche models, if the price of new cars to 350,000 or even 400,000 words, sound level no matter how high feelings Party, also arrived, but the reality of pressure.
Of course, if you do not sell to the official introduction of the form of words, the US regulations version of parallel imports might be a car approach, but in the heat of the new car view, car dealer can be said that a price hike, and not bad money friends can wave.

Next is Impreza WRX and STI. For these two, “God car”, I did not put them in the desired list, because these two cars even if it is listed and put into production, into the countryThe probability is almost zero. However, there is one that one, from the point of view of information currently known, the Subaru Impreza WRX / STI BRZ as possible and equipped with 2.4T turbocharged horizontally opposed engine and power output may be more aggressive, or more than the maximum output power 405 horsepower, peak torque can reach 490 cattle middot; m. While Subaru WRX and STI also for enhanced engine models, so that it can withstand the pressure caused by high power output, combined with Subaru 4WD technology and rear axle LSD blessing, really fragrant incense.
In addition, the Subaru product planning, there is a bright spot to be mentioned, is to be released in the spring of 2022 Subaru EV models, but there is very little information on the car, unable to peep exactly. In fact, as early as last year, Subaru and Toyota have already started cooperation in the field of new energy, and declared that it will jointly develop medium-sized and large passenger EV platform and the C-Class SUV pure electric vehicles.
(2019 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid)
To date, two cooperative did not have much of a splash, but the moment has major OEMs during the layout of new energy vehicles, and tend to improve, at this time of Subaru in the footsteps of new energy products layout has some lag. Although the current Subaru offers a mild hybrid system called “e-Boxer” is in Japan, to sell plug-in hybrid SUV models Crosstrek in the US market, but compared to other Japanese brands, Subaru gives a behind closed doors , ears do not hear out of the window feeling.
At the same time, Subaru is also facing a huge challenge, that is, after its planned new repairer platform, the main purpose of the platform is to manufacture hybrid models, which also led Subaru inevitable during the transition electrification to embark on existing models “oil power” of the road.
saying here, but also quoted a statement by Tomomi Nakamura, CEO of Subaru “Subaru is currently not keep up with changes in the market development progress, the US market for the sale of plug mix version Crosstrek lukewarm fire, not much improvement. so at this stage we still want to curry favor with gasoline vehicles,And live. Indeed electric car will come, but still needs time. “
” want to curry favor with gasoline cars, and live “voice
and more cut to the heart, presumably Tomomi Nakamura say those words when hearts there must be no alternative. Subaru new cars from the current plan can be seen in the next three years, the brand’s vehicle models will be updating first Crosstrek models will be released this fall, which is the domestic sales of the Subaru XV, spring of next year will launch a new generation of Forester and Outback Wilderness special Edition. to 2022, Subaru will launch the Legacy, Outback, Impreza and other models, this time basically Subaru all models have completed the replacement.

but see these models, the author of the first reaction is “ah? “The second reaction was,” Oh. “Existing models or models, did not have a new gasoline models appeared, the rest is some special edition models, ruled out the suspicion of the same old stuff, big probability that Subaru is no energy to research and development of new cars .
after all the global car companies report revenues in the first quarter of this fiscal point of view previously announced, Subaru operating loss reached 15.7 billion yen (approximately US $ 146 million); net loss 7.7 billion yen (approximately US $ 71.7 million); operating income fell 45 percent to 4,570 billion yen (about US $ 4.26 billion); global sales fell 49 percent to 133,100 vehicles All data show that Subaru really bad days too, can live. down is the biggest goal.
in fact, the author for the Subaru brand, know that it is in “Initial D”. we all know that in the comics, Takumi protagonist halo skill points are point at least, but he is not the only outperformed his father, Bunta’s sixth-generation Subaru Impreza STI, I was young and ignorant to think Subaru in the world. but as time goes on, the brand seems to have lost Subaru its former color. before I get know a Subaru Forester owners say, “I bought a Subaru is pure love, but must accept that our riders group of Subaru owners less and less.”
Subaru, a man regarded as a religion of love, who do not know too expensive brands. Whether it is the future of the new BRZ market, whether official channels to introduce the domestic market; or Impreza WRX / STI came back, I still hope that this will drive Subaru purely maintained, and if the new BRZ ….. not so expensive, then …… I will try to think of.
