The BRZ is often referred to as a “small, fun-focused, rear-wheel-drive sports car,” summarizing this unique Subaru model that sets itself apart from the brand’s usual all-wheel-drive lineup, sharing the specs of its Toyota sibling, the 86.
Under the hood, you’ll find a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter flat-four-cylinder engine paired with a standard six-speed manual transmission, with an optional six-speed automatic available. Opting for the manual gearbox will deliver 205 horsepower and 156 lb-ft of torque, sending power to the rear wheels.
For those choosing the automatic variant, there’s a slightly lower output of 200hp and 151 lb-ft. While it offers a sporty ride, it’s not a lightning-fast car, taking 6.2 seconds to go from zero to 60 mph.
Despite its compact size, the BRZ provides enough space for two adults, with the back seat accommodating individuals of medium build. Additionally, folding the rear seatbacks can create more cargo room for your needs.
The interior design emphasizes simplicity and functionality, featuring physical knobs and buttons, along with a 6.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system supporting Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Limited model offers an upgraded 7.0-inch touchscreen for an enhanced user experience.
The Subaru BRZ is offered in three trims: Premium, Limited, and Series Gray. With Subaru maintaining a competitive pricing strategy for the BRZ, this car stands out as an attractive choice, combining sportiness with affordability in a market crowded with options.
