With that said, the all-new BRZ for the Philippines matches up against the specs of the versions we’ve reported on before. It gets a new 2.4-liter boxer engine, which is definitely beefier than the old model’s engine.
At maximum, the new BRZ’s boxer powerplant can produce up to 228 horsepower and 249 Nm of torque. And of course, the said model is still rear-wheel-drive, and it also gets a six-speed manual gearbox, as well as a six-speed automatic just like the old version.

This collection of safety technologies includes adaptive cruise control, a 360-degree view camera, autonomous emergency braking, lane departure warning, among others.
