In 1970 Subaru offered a utilitarian hatchback body marketed as a Van from 16 February, in response to the rising popularity of front engined, front wheel drive rivals. The sedan had 31 PS and the lower tuned Van 26 PS. The performance R-2 SS arrived on 18 April with dual exhaust and more compression, and the higher trim R-2 GL on 5 October. The sedan carries the K12 model code, with the Van being the K41. The R-2 appeared approximately one year before the Honda Life, Daihatsu Fellow Max and Suzuki Fronte kei cars.
