To help us do that, Subaru is hinting at something for us to be somehow hopeful.
The 2022 Subaru BRZ world debut could be just in a few weeks time
The next-gen Subaru BRZ is coming soon as the Japanese automaker released a teaser photo. However, Subaru didn’t provide an exact date as to when will the 2022 BRZ debut. It only said that it will be launched in Fall 2020, which means that the global debut of the next-gen BRZ is just somewhere around the corner.

In terms of powertrain specifications, Subaru has yet to release details regarding the matter. Reports have been circulating online stating that next-gen BRZ and 86 will be equipped with a turbocharged engine.
However, the latest reports say otherwise as it states that the 2022 BRZ and 86 will still have a naturally aspirated engine. If this report is true, the next-gen BRZ and 86 could be fitted with a 2.4-liter naturally aspirated flat-four gasoline engine that delivers 217 hp and 240 Nm of torque. Now, those numbers are significantly higher than the current 2.0-liter engine that generates 205 hp and 211 Nm of torque.
