2026 BRZ Trim Level Comparison & Performance Variants

The BRZ lineup focuses purely on high-value features and track-ready performance hardware:

• Limited: The fully equipped foundation features 18-inch alloy wheels wrapped in sticky Michelin® Pilot® Sport 4 summer tires, heated front sport seats, Ultrasuede® and leather-trimmed upholstery with red stitching, a Torsen® limited-slip rear differential, and an available 6-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters.

Pure Sports Cockpit Architecture & Tech Features

Inside the 2026 BRZ, every element is designed to minimize distractions and maximize driver feedback:

• Digital Instrument Cluster with Track Mode: A customizable 7-inch digital gauge screen places the tachometer front-and-center, switching to a linear RPM graph along with G-force meters, oil temperature readouts, and lap timers when switched into Track Mode.
• 8.0-Inch SUBARU STARLINK® Multimedia: Centrally mounted touchscreen integration offers seamless wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility, HD Radio®, and SiriusXM® access.
• High-Bolster Sport Seating & Practicality: Deeply bolstered front seats hold drivers securely in place during high-G cornering. The fold-down rear seat seatback opens up enough cargo space to haul a full set of four spare track tires and a jack set.

Sleek Aerodynamics & Athletic Stance

The low-slung, sweeping profile of the BRZ is deliberately engineered for high-speed stability and cooling efficiency. Functional front bumper air scoops route air around the wheels to reduce drag, while side sill spoilers keep the body planted over crests and through high-speed sweepers.

At the rear, an integrated ducktail trunk spoiler aids downforce while dual performance exhaust outlets highlight the coupe’s athletic posture. Standard LED Steering Responsive Headlights (SRH) sweep in conjunction with steering inputs to illuminate dark mountain curves during evening drives down Oak Creek Canyon.

Naturally Aspirated BOXER Engine & RWD Mechanics

At the core of the BRZ is a lightweight powertrain configured specifically for balance, high revs, and immediate throttle response:

• 2.4-Liter SUBARU BOXER® Engine: Delivering 228 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque, the horizontally opposed engine sits low and back in the chassis to optimize weight distribution.
• Rear-Wheel-Drive (RWD) & Torsen® LSD: Power routes exclusively to the rear wheels through a standard Torsen® limited-slip differential, ensuring maximum traction out of apexes and smooth power distribution.
• Transmission Choice: Driving purists can opt for the close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission, while an available 6-speed automatic features steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters and auto-rev-matching downshifts.

Standard EyeSight® Driver Assist Safety Suite

Subaru ensures that high performance goes hand-in-hand with modern peace of mind, making EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology standard across all trims (including manual models):

• Pre-Collision Braking System: Monitors the road ahead for vehicles or hazards, issuing warnings and applying full braking force in emergency scenarios.
• Adaptive Cruise Control & Lane Keep Assist: Maintains safe follow distances and assists with lane positioning during highway driving along I-40 or I-17.
• Blind-Spot Detection & Rear Cross-Traffic Alert: Provides visual indicators in the side mirrors to alert drivers of approaching vehicles when changing lanes or reversing out of parking spaces.
