Let\u2019s know more about this featured car in detail:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Making of Subaru BRAT Gen 2 1985<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Subaru BRAT or Subaru Brumby is a utility coupe with a 4-wheel drive feature. It\u2019s basic idea and design was based on the Leone sedan, which was another of Subaru\u2019s automotive creations. These cars were sold from the years 1978 to 1994. However, the Gen 2 1985 model was special for the car-lovers. The models produced in this year were the last ones to have the jumpseats feature.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This feature was cut from the later designs and models. The main aim of bringing this car into the market was to provide a more efficient and affordable substitute for cars like Ford Ranchero or Chevrolet El Camino. BRAT became popular in the small pickup truck vehicle ranges. It was even listed with other top brands like Mazda, Toyota, and Nissan.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As the acronym- “Bi-drive Recreational All-terrain Transporter” suggests, BRAT was designed to perform on different terrains and deliver equally striking performance. The nomenclature was done to showcase the abilities and features of this amazing car. It sported a unique design, which resembled a sporty\/muscle look paired with the features of a mini truck.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Many users also used the rear space with a canopy to create a secure storage space while commuting or traveling. The <\/span>Subaru BRAT Gen 2 1985<\/strong> model had a \u2018truck bed\u2019 space in the rear cargo storage. This space contained 2 jumpseats that faced the rear-end; these seats were secured in the spot with welding.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The car had no formal seating space apart from the front two seats. However, the back seats were made from plastic, which showed the way Subaru had cut their costs in designing these models. Not just in production but also while importing. Because of its design and categorization as a Passenger Car, the Chicken Tax imposed came down almost 1\/10<\/span>th<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
