Stunning design,

precision handling

The Subaru BRZ was crafted with a commitment to precision and innovative engineering. Designed to deliver true sports car performance, it features a classic rear-wheel drive layout, sleek aerodynamics, a low center of gravity, and lightweight construction. Now in its second generation, these qualities are taken even further. Lower, more balanced, and more aerodynamic, the BRZ performs better than ever. The result is a stunning 2+2 sports coupe—arguably more beautiful than ever before.

Low-profile, sleek, aerodynamic design

An abundance of style and even more substance: Some might think that the Subaru BRZ was designed for looks alone, however its low-slung body was made to aerodynamically slice through the wind and create superior stability. This model has a wider stance and features key aerodynamic enhancements—such as the side sill spoilers and the duck tail trunk spoiler—that drive higher levels of performance. The rear spoiler is less obtrusive than on the previous generation model, but creates more downforce, which aids in cornering grip. The 雷 Kaminari Edition gets a distinct black low-profile wing spoiler for more cornering performance and aesthetics.

LED Headlights and Accent Lighting

The LED headlight assembly features a sharp, stylish design with a sculpted, assertive look. A molded outer cover and black inner surround add to its sporty feel. The BRZ word mark is stamped on the side extensions, with the tS trim showcasing it in red for extra impact. The Sport-tech, tS and 雷 Kaminari Edition trims come with LED steering-responsive headlights, providing a brighter, whiter beam that adjusts to the direction of turns, enhancing visibility while cornering.

Power-Adjustable Heated Mirrors

The sleek side mirrors are the perfect solution for a purebred 2+2 sports coupe: small in size, yet big on visibility and aerodynamic performance. The mirrors are heated, power-adjustable and foldable for maximum convenience and safety. On models equipped with the SRVD system, the LED indicators are located outside the mirror surface to cut distortion and improve rearward visibility. The mirrors on the tS and 雷 Kaminari Edition trims are gloss black, giving a sleeker look.

Lightweight Performance Alloy Wheels

The alloy wheels combine slick design with lightweight, ultra-strong construction. These qualities enable the BRZ to tackle tough corners with increased capability and look great while doing it. The design also helps boost brake-cooling efficiency to give the car even better overall performance.

World-class confidence

comes standard

The development of the Subaru BRZ is driven by heightened safety standards and enhanced driver confidence. Built on the Subaru Global Platform, this second-generation sports car features a stronger, more rigid frame, reduced weight, and a lower center of gravity. These improvements boost both active and passive safety, delivering a perfect blend of performance and protection. From city streets to open highways, the BRZ ensures confidence behind the wheel in all possible conditions, at any time.

EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology

All BRZ models are equipped with this award-winning active safety system as standard equipment. EyeSight® utilizes two cameras mounted on the windshield to monitor activity on the road ahead, to help identify potential danger and provide assistance when needed most. The system features several different types of active assistance in one, including Pre-Collision Braking, Pre-Collision Throttle Management (only on Sport-tech), Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Departure Warning and Sway Warning and Lead Vehicle Start Alert.

High Beam Assist

This system automatically switches the headlights from high beams to low when approaching other vehicles in the road ahead. As soon as the other vehicles are far enough away, the high beams automatically turn back on to ensure superior visibility in dark conditions. High Beam Assist is standard on all BRZ trim models.

Reverse Automatic Braking

This advanced safety system utilizes proximity sensors to trigger a warning as your vehicle approaches an obstacle and automatically applies the brakes if a collision seems imminent. Reverse Automatic Braking is available on BRZ Sport-tech.

Subaru Rear/Side Vehicle Detection (SRVD)

SRVD uses sensors to detect other vehicles and has three functions designed to heighten safety. Using LED indicators located on the inner side of the mirror housing, Blind Spot Detection identifies vehicles approaching your blind spots. Lane Change Assist detects vehicles approaching quickly from behind when you’re about to change lanes. Lastly, while reversing out of a driveway or parking space, Rear Cross Traffic Alert signals when vehicles or pedestrians are approaching from either side of your vehicle. The SRVD system is available on the Sport-tech, tS and 雷 Kaminari Edition trims.

Rearview Camera

Positioned in the centre of the vehicle and located inside the trunk lid, the standard rearview camera captures a natural, distortion-free, wide view behind the vehicle and projects it onto the large centre console screen. When reversing, the screen also displays dynamic guide lines to help the driver gauge distances and the steering angles needed to perform picture-perfect manoeuvres every time.

Steering Responsive Headlights

Available on the Sport-tech, tS and 雷 Kaminari Edition trims, these LED headlights automatically angle in the direction of the turn, providing better illumination and increased levels of safety. LED headlights cast a brighter and whiter beam for improved visibility, creating safer driving scenarios even on the darkest nights.

Multi-mode Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) and Traction Control System (TCS)

The Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC)† system employs an array of sensors to monitor the vehicle to ensure maximum confidence under all driving conditions. The system features up to five driver-selectable modes, including settings for everything from snow-covered commutes (available on Sport-tech only) to summer track-day sessions. For those who truly want to push the car to its natural limits, there’s even a setting that switches off the Traction Control System (TCS) entir

Braking System

The advanced braking system incorporates the latest thinking on stopping performance to deliver superior levels of control and safety. Electronic Brake-force Distribution automatically adjusts brake pressure front-to-back in response to adjust for varying vehicle loads. Brake Assist delivers added brake pressure in panic-stop situations. Brake Override cuts engine power when the brakes and the throttle are applied simultaneously, while Hill Start Assist automatically helps prevent rollback on inclines. Large, ventilated discs on all four corners provide superior stopping power in all conditions and all-new side vents in the front bumper redirect air to provide improved cooling. The tS and 雷 Kaminari Edition trims comes equipped with gold painted Brembo® brake calipers.

Next-generation Ring-shaped Reinforcement Frame

This proprietary advanced frame design is more robust than ever and capable of absorbing even more impact energy. The design strengthens the passenger compartment by linking the roof to the side pillars and the floor. As a result, impact energy coming from all directions is dissipated and diverted away from the passenger cabin. Utilizing a manufacturing process that uses more high-tensile strength material has resulted in stronger joint structures and increased rigidity overall, taking the already impressive safety standards to new heights.

Airbags

The 2026 Subaru BRZ comes standard with a total of seven airbags, a reflection of a relentless approach to passive safety. The collection comprises dual-stage deployment front airbags and seat-mounted side-impact airbags for the driver and co-driver, a driver knee airbag, as well as a pair of side-curtain airbags engineered to protect all passengers.

Whiplash-reducing Front Seats

The front seats are specifically engineered to dampen the effects of a rear-end collision, the most common accident scenario, and reduce the chance of neck injuries. The unique features of these seats include an extremely rigid frame, energy-absorbing inner seat springs and an anti-whiplash headrest. These features have been exhaustively tested to ensure the very highest levels of performance under duress.

Break-away Engine

The chassis design has amplified one of the trademark characteristics of the Subaru BRZ—its inherently low centre of gravity and low positioning of the SUBARU BOXER® engine. In this design, the engine is set even lower than the previous generation BRZ, which makes for a safer vehicle. Should a head-on collision occur, the engine and transmission are both designed to absorb impact energy and then break away from the vehicle structure and drop below the passenger compartment for added safety.

Engineered to raise the bar

When the engineers at Subaru first conceived of the BRZ, they began with a clean sheet of paper. When it was time to tackle the second-generation model, they took what was so successful the first time around and elevated everything to new heights. The process involved a new SUBARU BOXER® engine, updated transmissions, new suspension and steering systems—everything calibrated to work within the second-generation design. The result is a Subaru—and a sports car that’s been engineered to outperform more than ever.

The low-profile, high-revving SUBARU BOXER®

The naturally aspirated 2.4L SUBARU BOXER® 4-cylinder incorporates the latest technology, including direct and port fuel injection, to deliver free-revving performance and remarkable efficiency. Although this engine has similar dimensions and weight compared to the previous BRZ engine, it delivers more horsepower overall and higher torque in all RPM ranges. This Subaru Boxer engine generates 228 horsepower (at 7,000 rpm) as compared to 205 horsepower for the previous engine, an increase of some 11 per cent. Torque has also increased, from 156 lb-ft to 184 lb-ft (at 3,700 rpm), a gain of almost 18 per cent. The result: A sports car engine with a 7,500-rpm redline that sounds like a mechanical symphony, rewards you with sharp acceleration and ensures sheer joy behind the wheel.

Lightweight Body

The goal in developing the Subaru BRZ was to build a lightweight sports car with an ultra-low centre of gravity, quick steering, tremendous strength and a superior power-to-weight ratio. This goal was achieved by positioning the drivetrain low in the chassis, constructing the hood, front fenders and roof from aluminum and using lightweight, high-tensile strength steel for most of the body.

Front Suspension

A popular choice for sports cars of all types, the MacPherson® strut front suspension system helps create superior driving dynamics. For the BRZ, the system features lighter-weight materials, revised spring rates and improved damping characteristics, all engineered to secure better steering response. A rebound spring is also placed inside the struts to reduce body roll and increase control. The tS and 雷 Kaminari Edition trims are equipped with Hitachi Astemo dampers for even sharper handling around corners. The 雷 Kaminari Edition also gets an STI flexible V-bar for even better handling performance.

Rear Suspension

The focus for the rear suspension begins with a more rigid subframe designed to handle the increased power and torque of its engine. A rear stabilizer mounted directly to the chassis, retuned springs and shock absorbers with improved damping characteristics, have been added to give the 2026 BRZ more composure, increased stability and more intuitive handling overall. The tS and 雷 Kaminari Edition trims get retuned rear dampers for even better handling when cornering twists and turns.
