The Toyota GR Yaris was launched with much fanfare last year, with the rally-bred hot hatch proving incredibly popular amongst enthusiasts. Developed by Toyota’s Gazoo Racing motorsport arm, the GR Yaris features a turbocharged 1.6-litre three-cylinder engine mated to a six-speed manual transmission. It churns out an impressive 200kW and …

Subaru is elevating the specification list across its entire new generation Outback range, which goes on sale in Australia from March 2021. The simplified three-variant 2021 Subaru Outback range will start with the considerably “up-specced” Outback All-Wheel Drive (AWD) variant that adds an array of new features. At a glance …

The new second generation Subaru BRZ launched with much fanfare late last year. With sharpened looks, more powerful engine and improved dynamics, the new 2022 Subaru BRZ is set to continue its forebear’s popularity and success. Not just that, it’s sure to also continue to be the darling of the …

Some might be disappointed that the 2022 Subaru BRZ is still without a turbocharge engine as hoped but like the first-generation model, most will likely turn to an aftermarket tuner for help. However, what if Subaru did come up with a BRZ STI for the new model? Well, X-Tomi thinks …

One of the most-anticipated sports cars to debut this year, the 2022 Subaru BRZ has arrived. Packing a more powerful engine, strengthened chassis and a more refined interior, the all-new second-generation Subaru BRZ promises sharper dynamics and heightened driving engagement while remaining relatively affordable – one of the biggest selling …

After a series of teasers, the new-generation 2022 Subaru BRZ has been officially unveiled. The long-anticipated sports coupe launches into its second-generation with a fresh new look, tightened dynamics, and a more powerful engine. There’s no doubt the new BRZ has matured a little in its design compared to the …

Turbo power is returning to the Subaru Forester, with the Japanese car maker today confirming that the mid-size SUV will get a new turbocharged 1.8-litre petrol variant in 2021. Shared with the new-generation Levorg, the turbo 1.8-litre boxer engine will replace the atmospheric 2.5-litre mill currently powering non-hybrid variants of …

The Subaru Impreza Sedan is probably one of the most underrated small sedans on the market. Its slightly quirky personality and often sedate styling means it gets overlooked for more its more fashionable rivals. However, few realises that with a few exceptions, the Impreza is one of the longest running …

Let’s admit it, the weak point in the Subaru Forester is none other than its engine. The 2.5-litre normally aspirated boxer four-cylinder engine in the medium SUV isn’t the most inspiring to drive, and compared to punchier, turbocharged powertrains in rivals, it’s really starting to fall behind. Fortunately, that will …

Subaru has dropped a surprising teaser of the next-generation BRZ today, releasing a photo of a camouflaged pre-production prototype. The teaser shot zooms in on the 2021 Subaru BRZ’s front wheel fender, revealing the new car’s multi-spoke matte grey 18-inch wheel. Also visible is a new air vent just aft …

The Toyota 86 and Subaru BRZ twins have been around since 2014. In a car’s life cycle, this means a new model is due. But we have yet to see any prototype, not even a concept. Fortunately, some good news has come from a report by Japanese publication BestCarWeb, which …

The next-generation Subaru WRX STI is still at least a year away, but the launch of the all-new Subaru Levorg last week offered an interesting preview of the brand’s next flagship performance icon. Since the first-generation model, the Levorg has always been (unofficially) the wagon version of the WRX. With …

The second-generation Subaru Levorg has been officially unwrapped and, as expected, it looks nearly identical to the Levorg concept. The Japanese brand is not known for bringing concept design to reality, so this is a certainly a very good thing. Like its predecessor, the Levorg will continue to be a …

Subaru Australia has announced it will be importing 150 units of the Limited Edition Subaru WRX Club Spec into Australia as a farewell to the current-generation model before the new one lobs in. Based on the WRX, the Club Spec will sit atop the range with prices starting from $47,990 …
