Hello, my name is Louis Vo.
And I am Aaron Matos.
We are both members of the Subaru Product Training team
and in this video, we'll be taking a look
at the second generation Subaru BRZ.
This showroom overview is designed to provide information
to prospective customers, as well as those taking delivery
of their new vehicle.
While all the content of this video may not be specific
to your trim, we provide an overview
of some general specifications and features
to help you get acquainted with the Subaru BRZ.
Built to forge an intimate connection
between the driver and the road,
the BRZ is the rear wheel drive sports car
praised for its razor-sharp handling, response, and balance.
Born of Subaru Motorsport Heritage,
this is a faster, more dynamic and sharper BRZ.
One that's engineered to deliver more excitement per liter.
It features a new Subaru BOXER engine with more power,
a stronger and lighter chassis
with a lower center of gravity,
and improved braking and suspension systems.
The all new driver-centric cockpit now features
a configurable, fully digital instrument cluster.
This new gauge cluster includes a central tachometer,
an integrated g-force meter,
plus adaptive sport and track modes.
So all of your important vehicle performance information
is available at a glance.
Headliner indentations above the driver and passenger
allow for more helmet space when on the track.
The second generation BRZ is available
in four trim levels for Canada.
This video will feature a Sport-Tech
with automatic transmission.
Every BRZ comes standard with the all new,
high-revving, 2.4 liter Subaru BOXER engine,
with 220 horsepower, 184 pounds feet of torque
and a 7,500 RPM red line.
This new engine offers improved acceleration
out of every corner and that classic BOXER groan.
The BRZ is offered with two different transmissions.
A silky smooth, six-speed, close ratio manual transmission
is standard, including a short throw shifter
with reverse lockout.
A six speed automatic, with down shift blip control,
is also available.
Models equipped with the automatic transmission
also showcase a more aggressive track mode setting
in the vehicle dynamics control system,
enhancing the driving experience with manual mode
and steering wheel-mounted paddle shift controls.
The chassis and body have been re-engineered
for lighter weight and an even lower center of gravity.
50% increased torsional rigidity,
and 60% increased front lateral rigidity.
The ultra low center of gravity yields razor-sharp
responsiveness with the sport tune suspension
and a standard Torsen limited slip differential.
Combined with its quick 13.5:1 steering ratio,
the BRZ gives drivers a smooth, direct feel.
You can count on the BRZ to hold fast, even on tricky curves
and give you precise control and confident grip
in both wet and dry conditions.
Near perfect weight distribution from front to rear
and lightweight, it all comes together to make a balanced,
nimble sports car built for serious driving.
For peace of mind, BRZ models
with a six speed automatic transmission are now equipped
with the award winning Subaru EyeSight
Driver Assist Technology system.
We will dive into this more later,
but first let's take a walk around of the exterior.
Safety is as important as performance in the BRZ.
Fully automatic LED headlights,
with LED daytime running lights are standard
on all trims with the BRZ logo embossed
on the inner housing of the headlights.
Trims equipped with EyeSight get High Beam Assist
and Sport-Tech models are also equipped
with LED steering responsive headlights.
These LED headlights provide better illumination
of the road ahead and enhance safety.
LED combination tail lights are standard on all trims.
The body of the BRZ perfectly combines form and function
creating a beautiful sporty aesthetic.
Upfront, BRZ features a matte black chin spoiler
and an aggressive design that flows
into the bold front fenders,
and large functional fender vents.
The functional side vents reduces drag
by ducting air from within the front wheel arches.
The released air is directed to a side sill spoiler
that creates down force at speed.
At the rear of the car, the large rear fenders
and wider track flow into dual exhausts
for a low and wide stance.
This visual heft is lightened by narrower greenhouse
and rear hatch, which flow into a dramatic
upturned ducktail rear spoiler.
The more pronounced wide look with rear fender flares,
the vortex generators on the tail lights,
and the polished high performance exhaust tips,
all come together to drive home the track-ready feel.
A small fin at the back of the rear wheel arch
also assist in airflow adding stability at speed.
Entry-level models come equipped with 17-inch wheels,
with 18-inch wheels on the top Sport-Tech trim
with corner gripping Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires.
The BRZ includes power-adjustable, foldable,
and heated side mirrors, which also provides a luxury feel.
A rearview camera system with dynamic guidelines
is also standard.
The BRZ's breaking system has been revised and upgraded
for increased stopping force featuring front ventilated disc
with dual piston calipers.
Sport-Tech models are equipped with the side rear
vehicle detection system or SRVD,
available for the first time on the BRZ.
SRVD is a great added safety feature providing
lane change assist indicators for blind spot detection
of fast approaching vehicles, and rear cross traffic alert,
which is convenient in parking lots.
Despite its sporting intentions, BRZ does not sacrifice
everyday comfort and practicality.
The 2+2 seating and folding rear seats
create a useful cargo area that has space
for carrying a mountain bike, golf clubs,
or even four race tires and tools for track days.
The BRZ features a new interior with every detail
focused on the driver.
Thicker bolsters sport bucket seats
feed into the track feel of the BRZ,
with cloth seating services standard,
and heated leather seats with ultra-suede inserts featured
in Sport-Tech models.
Manually adjustable front seats, and automatic dual zone
climate control is standard.
While the interior is designed for comfort on the road
or the track, the BRZ features many premium accents
throughout the cabin.
Beginning with a suede upper door panel,
and a suede cowl above the gauge cluster,
which reduces glare for optimum visibility.
There are silver accents on the dashboard,
red trim accents on the doors,
and red accents stitching throughout the cabin.
These accents provide a unique and sporty look
to the interior that makes it distinctive
allowing the BRZ to stand out from the crowd.
A leather-wrapped steering wheel, aluminum alloy foot pedals
and manual park brake handle come standard across all trims.
The steering wheel of the BRZ contains controls
for audio, cruise control and other commonly
access functions and shift pedals
on automatic transmission models,
allowing you to keep your eyes on the road,
your hands on the wheel, and your senses fully engaged.
More importantly, the steering wheel has a padded grip
that is comfortable for long drives.
The new customizable 7-inch digital dashboard
is the cockpit's focal point with a tachometer,
front and center, featuring an integrated
digital speedometer readout as standard on all models.
Within the digital gauge cluster, the MID,
or multi-information display, it allows you to access
and customize interior and safety functions
such as the EyeSight system.
Found to the left of the tachometer,
this programmable meter can also change to show amps,
water temperature, a G-meter, once again,
emphasizing the BRZ's performance capability.
The digital gauges have mode-dependent themes.
When track mode is enabled,
the tachometer automatically shifts to a linear graph
with a colour display that allows for very quick read,
allowing the driver to focus on the road.
There's also an adjustable shift indicator on all trims.
This allows you to customize what you see
such as fuel consumption, trip meter, etc.
On the control panel, just above the driver's left knee
is a trunk release button as well as a wheel
that controls the brightness of the instrument cluster.
Continuing with the theme of functional accessibility,
let's take a look at the center stack.
All BRZ trims come standard with an 8-inch
infotainment screen that features an easy-to-use layout
and interface with just the right balance
of dials and controls.
The infotainment system in the BRZ
feature standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration,
SiriusXM, and Starlink cloud connected apps.
Access to all your favourite music, news, podcasts,
and smartphone mirror navigation is even easier
through its larger upgraded 8-inch touchscreen.

and Adaptive Cruise Control, offering extra peace of mind
and daily driving convenience.
Our award winning EyeSight technology
serves as a second pair of eyes, monitoring traffic movement,
to provide added safety and convenience for drivers,
other motorists and pedestrians.

SUBARU STARLINK Connected Services
is an in-vehicle system that connects your Subaru
to the world around you.

this system connects drivers to their vehicles
through the internet,
allowing you to access powerful features
such as remote engine start on automatic trims,
remote lock unlock, service scheduler,
emergency assistance and more.
Remote engine start/stop, and remote climate control
is available on the top trim
with the automatic transmission.
The exterior and interior of the BRZ are impressive,
but let's have a quick look under the hood.
First, you'll need to pull a hood release knob
under the instrument panel
to the left and below the steering wheel.
Next, find the hood release under the hood.
Pull it to the left, open the hood,
just find the prop rod, secure the hood.
This is where you'll find your washer fluid tank,
oil dipstick, oil filler, brake fluid reservoir, and more.
When you care for your Subaru,
it will give you years of pure joy behind the wheel.
For any questions regarding the Subaru BRZ,
please do not hesitate to ask your Subaru consultant.
They are always happy to help.
