In August 1981, the second-generation Subaru Rex became [[front-wheel drive]], with all-new bodywork and independent suspension all around. At the time, it was stated that the only parts of the rear-engined predecessor to have remained were "two connecting rods and an ashtray".<ref name="WC82y">{{Citation | first = Jack K. | last = Yamaguchi | editor-last = Lösch | editor-first = Annamaria | journal = World Cars 1982 | title = Japan: Shogun Strikes Back | publisher = The Automobile Club of Italy/Herald Books | location = Pelham, NY | page = 63 | year = 1982 | isbn = 0-910714-14-2 }}</ref> Power remained at {{convert|31|PS|kW bhp|0|abbr=on}}, with a twin-barrel carburettor. Three and five-door hatchback versions were available.<ref name=Schaefer/> Optional on-demand [[4WD]] became available after October 1983, a first for the class.<ref name=Schaefer/> The 4WD system was electrically engaged by depressing an embedded switch on top of the gear shift. The option of a turbo was introduced on the 4WD Rex in December 1983, to counteract the added weight of the drive system. The "Rex Dinos", a trim level introduced in 1982, was only available by mail order catalog.

In the European markets, this car was originally marketed as the Subaru 600 or Mini Jumbo. In September 1982 it became the Subaru 700, as it received a larger 665&nbsp;cc version of the two-cylinder,<ref name=Schaefer/> producing {{convert|37|PS|kW|0|abbr=on}} (a 35&nbsp;PS version using lower octane gas was also available).<ref name="AR83">{{cite book | title = Automobil Revue '83 | editor-last = Büschi | editor-first = Hans-Ulrich | publisher = Hallwag, AG | page = 500 | location = Berne, Switzerland | volume = 78 | date = March 10, 1983 | isbn = 3-444-06065-3 }}</ref> The engine used a single-barrel carburettor. Top speed was {{convert|125|km/h|mph|0|abbr=on}}, compared to {{convert|110|km/h|mph|0|abbr=on}} for the {{convert|31|PS|kW|0|abbr=on}} domestic version. These cars were 9&nbsp;cm longer than their domestic counterparts, due to bigger bumpers, and received 12-inch wheels (rather than the ten-inch units used for most models in Japan).<ref name="AR83"/> Production ended in September 1986, as Subaru was getting ready to introduce the modernized third generation Rex.

The bodyshell of the second generation Rex was also lengthened and widened to become the original [[Subaru Justy]], with a larger 1-litre engine. The Justy remained in production until 1994, outliving the next generation Rex and even the Rex label itself.

Chinese Yunque ([[Guizhou Aircraft Industry Corporation]]) built the second generation Subaru Rex under license as the '''Yunque GHK 7060''' between 1991 and 2005. There were also '''GHK 7060A''' 'Free Wind' and '''GHK 7071A''' 'WOW' iterations, featuring interesting bodykits.<ref name=WOC>{{cite book | title = World of Cars 2006·2007 | publisher = Media Connection Sp. z o.o | location = Warsaw, Poland | page = 240 | year = 2006 }}</ref>
