History/Overview
The Subaru BRZ is a subcompact coupe that has served as the brand's purest sports car since its introduction in 2013. It's not as fast as the WRX or STi sedans, but its simple front-engine, rear-drive layout has made it a favourite with sports car enthusiasts. Subaru co-engineered the BRZ with Toyota, which sells the same car as the 86.
There are no changes to the BRZ for the 2020 model year.
Available Trims
BRZ trims are base, Sport-tech and Sport-tech RS. All three use a 2.0L four-cylinder engine. Base and Sport-tech RS trims come with a six-speed manual transmission, while Sport-tech uses a six-speed automatic.
Standard Features
The base BRZ comes with automatic on/off LED headlights, LED taillights, 17-inch alloy wheels, a 7.0-inch infotainment display, an eight-speaker stereo, air conditioning, tilt-and-telescopic steering column, power windows, cloth upholstery with red stitching, six-way driver and four-way front passenger manual seat adjustments, and keyless entry.
Sport-tech trim adds LED fog lights, dual-zone automatic climate control, passive keyless entry, multi-function information display, black leather seating, heated front seats, and leather-trimmed steering wheel and shifter.
Sport-tech RS bring gunmetal gray wheels, Sachs dampers and Brembo brakes.
Fuel Economy
Subaru's fuel consumption estimates for the BRZ are 11.2/8.3 L/100 km (city/highway) with the six-speed manual transmission, and 9.7/7.2 with the automatic.
Competition
The BRZ primarily competes for buyers with the Mazda MX-5, the Mini Cooper S and Toyota 86. Other competitors based on price, if not performance, are the Nissan 370Z and Ford Mustang Ecoboost.
