• The all-new 2022 Subaru BRZ debuts in Thailand

The all-new 2022 Subaru BRZ, codenamed ZD8, has made its ASEAN debut at the ongoing Bangkok International Motor Show (BIMS).

Imported (CBU) from Japan, the Thai-spec 2022 Subaru BRZ is priced between THB 2,699,000 (~RM 340k) to THB 2,849,000 (~RM 358k). The high price is primarily due to the weak Ringgit versus the high Thai Baht. In Malaysia, TC Subaru has begun order taking for the 2022 Subaru BRZ, with prices starting from RM 229,245.
