Subaru BRZ brochure previews Australian spec

Subaru BRZ

A hastily scanned dealer brochure gives Australian readers their first look at the local specification for the new Subaru BRZ. As we revealed last night you can expect driveaway pricing for a manual BRZ with no options to be a touch over $37,000, depending on your state.

Thanks to the brochure posted to gt86.com.au we can see some of the standard equipment for the BRZ includes:

  • xenon headlights with LED daytime running lights
  • TCS limited slip device (mechanical or electronic?)
  • 17″ alloys
  • dual zone climate control
  • cruise control
  • Bluetooth

The short list of items available as factory-fitted options are:

  • automatic transmission (with steering wheel mounted shift paddles)
  • leather/alcantara seats
  • heated seats

Oddly, we think, satellite navigation and rear parking sensors are listed as accessories. In the Australian prepared brochure they’re placed alongside cosmetic items such as a rear spoiler, an alternate rear diffuser and the like.

The BRZ will be available in seven exterior colours (shown below), including the WR Blue Mica you see above, which is labelled as “Subaru exclusive”.

Some reports also suggest the BRZ is available to order by the internet only. We can’t confirm if that is correct, and it would seem a unique way of selling what a product sure to have high demand.

We also hear the BRZ may come with three years free servicing (to be confirmed).

Rubbish about online sale only. I have a deposit and the dealer has called me twice in the last two days to come in and finalise spec as they are doing allocation now.

Don’t know about that.Called into my Subaru dealer this morning to pick up a brochure and was told that orders are to be placed thru Subaru direct with a $3000 deposit.
Dealer was holding orders with a $500 deposit and was told by Subaru that orders won’t be processed for anything less than $3000.
Punters think in good faith that they’re in the queue at the Dealers when in fact the only queue they’re in is the far queue.
Dealer was unable to fathom the reasoning behind all of this.
What if you’re going to finance/lease?Or,God forbid,have a trade-in.
Dealer had no clue how this would work.
Toyota dealer I went to said you couldn’t drive one without placing an order….
Looks like the Auto trade is back to it’s dickhead white shoes days again.
Guy’s,you’re selling $30k cars,not McLarens.

Yes, Len, I’ve since read the $3K deposit thing for Subaru elsewhere. Although the web order theory could still exist once the initial batch are sold. Who knows.

Didn’t I mention on tex the process I went through? They asked for extra $2k to top up my initial deposit to $3k. They also ask that you lock in colour and spec. Yes Timbo, I chose WR blue.
