Released in August 2001, the Subaru BE and BH Series II (BE.II/BH.II) Liberty introduced an expanded range, styling changes, updated interiors and mechanical upgrades. For the latter, additional supports were added to the rear suspension sub-frame for greater strength and improved handling. The Subaru BE.II/BH.II Liberty could be identified by its clear-lens headlights with integrated indicators, chrome grille surrounds, new front bumpers and an aluminium bonnet; for the Liberty RX and Heritage editions, the fog lights were also revised. Inside, there were twin trip meters, greater lumbar support for the driver’s seat and wagon models were fitted with an adjustable centre rear head restraint.
