Subaru R2 is a premium K-car. Its superior style and quality also bring a higher price tag. In Japan, it is about 20% more expensive than an equivalent Daihatsu Mira, our current pick of the class.

Subaru has designed R2 to brighten your days. Style and quality that set your pulse racing at first sight. High performance that guarantees a stress-free driving experience.

Thoughtful considerations of fuel economy, environment friendliness, and safety. The all new Subaru R2. A super small car that puts you before everything else.

The Subaru R2 has a new supercharged four-cylinder twin overhead-camshaft petrol engine with an Active Valve Control System which provides a wide power range which is fully exploited by the seven-speed sports gear shift.

The R2's body is stretched to the maximum limits for K-cars. It measures 3395mm in length, 1475mm in width while the height is pushed to 1520mm. Without exceeding 1550mm, it can be parked at tower parking which is popular in the crowded cities in Japan. Exterior and interior packaging is definitely the strength of R2. Comparatively, mechanical is more mainstream. Like other K-cars, the R2 rides on strut and torsion-beam suspensions. Front-wheel-drive is the default choice while 4WD is optional. 5-speed manual gearbox is default, CVT is optional. Admittedly, if you buy the Turbo version, it will come with a CVT providing a 7-speed manual mode. That's perhaps the only unique feature.
