The all-new Subaru BRZ will be making its official Philippine launch in April 2022 alongside the facelifted Forester. Subaru PH previously mentioned that it is planning to launch the all-new BRZ, and the facelifted Forester at the Manila International Auto Show (MIAS), which is usually held in April. 

However, the car brand is not yet sure about the planned MIAS launch due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Restrictions might force MIAS organizers to not push through with the physical event, similar to what happened last 2020. But, Subaru PH did confirm that the all-new BRZ and the facelifted Forester will be launched in April 2022.
