Subaru R2

Subaru R2

The Subaru R2 was announced in Japan on December 8 2003. It is Subaru's re-entry in the Japanese keicar market.

The R2 name was inspired by the Subaru R-2, the keicar model that was produced between 1969 to 1972.

The R2's exterior reflects influence from Andreas Zapatinas Fact|date=March 2008, who worked at Alfa Romeo before moving to Subaru. The R2 is the first production Subaru to sport a new family look, including the aviation-inspired "spread wings grille" Fact|date=July 2008.

The R2's exterior dimensions are largely similar to its predecessor, the Subaru Pleo, but unlike the squarish Pleo, the R2 is deliberately rounded, less efficient form.

Three variations of the 4-cylinder, 658 cc engine are available:
* SOHC
* DOHC AVCS (variable valve timing)
* DOHC with supercharger and intercooler

The two lower engines are available with either a manual transmission or a CVT. The supercharged engine is coupled to a sportshift version of the CVT. Both front wheel drive and all wheel drive are available.

Initially, the R2 was available in 11 colors and 3 trim levels (one for each engine variation).

On January 4 2005 fact, the Subaru R1 was introduced, a 2-door version of the R2 with a shorter body and wheelbase.
