Automotive News reports that Subaru is set to unveil the Trezia hatchback in March at the Geneva Auto Show. The roomy five-door, which closely mirrors the Honda Fit in most every measurement, will be a near spot-on match of the Toyota Verso it's based on, but with an Impreza-style grille slapped on the front clip and some Subaru badging sprinkled throughought. Both the Toyota Verso (named Ractis for JDM consumption) and Subaru Trezia are being sold in Japan now, and both vehicles are destined for Euro showrooms this spring.
Subaru and Toyota’s ever-closer relationship is bearing fruit. This time it’s the new Trezia, which is essentially the new Toyota Verso-S supermini MPV with Subaru’s family face grafted on the front.
Everything else on the new Subaru is identical to the Toyota version, which is called the Ractis in Japan. That means the Trezia is powered by the same 1.3-litre or 1.5-litre petrol engines, and comes with a choice of two- or four-wheel drive layouts.
