2012 Subaru BRZ Brochure
When the BRZ arrived in 2012, it filled a gap no Japanese maker had bothered to defend: affordable, driver-focused coupe territory. The 200 hp horizontally-opposed 2.0-litre engine and 1,240 kg kerb weight made it the lightest sports car in its class, undershooting rivals that had grown heavier and more complex. Subaru's gamble paid off.
2013 Subaru BRZ Brochure
The 2013 BRZ arrived as a two-door coupe and convertible, each powered by Subaru's naturally aspirated 2.0-litre horizontally-opposed engine producing 200 horsepower.

2014 Subaru BRZ Brochure
By 2014, the BRZ had matured into a focused driver's machine that competed directly against the Scion FR-S and, across the Atlantic, the Toyota GT86. The horizontally opposed 2.0-liter engine produced 200 horsepower and was mated exclusively to a six-speed manual transmission, a deliberate choice that reinforced Subaru's commitment to engaging, mechanical feedback. The addition
2015 Subaru BRZ Brochure
By 2015, the BRZ had established itself across North America and Australia as the affordable alternative to pricier sports cars. The naturally aspirated 2.0-litre boxer delivered 200 horsepower to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual or optional automatic, positioning it directly against entry-level Porsche and BMW offerings. Canadian and US buyers found a stripped-back,
2016 Subaru BRZ Brochure
By 2016, the BRZ faced a field of soft-roaders and turbocharged entry-level coupes, yet it stood apart with its naturally aspirated 2.0-litre flat-four delivering 200 horsepower and a chassis tuned for driver engagement. In North America and the UK, buyers drawn to analogue steering and lightweight handling found few alternatives at this price point.
2017 Subaru BRZ Brochure
By 2017, the BRZ arrived in showrooms as Subaru's answer to buyers seeking affordable, driver-focused performance without turbocharging excess. The 2.0-litre flat-four delivered 147 kW in a chassis engineered for balance over raw power.

2018 Subaru BRZ Brochure
The 2018 refresh brought a sharper front end and recalibrated suspension geometry that tightened the BRZ's already eager handling. Subaru offered the coupe in base and Limited trims across North American and Australian markets, each paired with the horizontally-opposed 2.0-litre engine producing 200 horsepower. Buyers hunting a nimble rear-drive alternative to the Miata found a
2019 Subaru BRZ Brochure
The 2019 BRZ arrived with a horizontally opposed 2.0-litre engine producing 147 kW, mounted low in a chassis engineered for balance rather than outright power. Buyers weighing it against the Miata and 86 found a stiffer platform, sharper steering response, and standard all-wheel drive in most markets—a practical edge over its Japanese rival.
2020 Subaru BRZ Brochure
The 2020 BRZ lineup offered buyers three distinct paths: the base model with standard Subaru EyeSight driver assist, the mid-range Premium adding comfort features, and the top-tier Limited with leather and heated seats. A turbocharged variant remained absent, keeping the naturally aspirated 2.4-litre flat-four at 228 horsepower as the sole engine choice across all trims.
2021 Subaru BRZ Brochure
The 2021 BRZ retained its horizontally opposed 2.0-litre engine producing 147 kW, a powertrain choice that defined its character as a driver-focused coupé. Subaru's commitment to low centre of gravity and balanced weight distribution remained central to the design, differentiating it from turbocharged rivals in the affordable sports segment.
2022 Subaru BRZ Brochure
By 2022, the BRZ had returned to North American dealerships after a three-year absence, reborn with a larger 2.4-litre flat-four producing 228 horsepower. The Canadian and US markets received identical specifications, though dealers emphasized the model's appeal to drivers seeking affordable rear-wheel-drive engagement against a backdrop of electrification and crossover dominan
2023 Subaru BRZ Brochure
By 2023, the refreshed BRZ faced stiffer opposition from the revived Z and a resurgent Miata, yet Subaru's flat-four held its ground with a newly enlarged 2.4-litre engine producing 228 horsepower. American buyers appreciated the mid-cycle update's sharper steering response and revised suspension tuning, which addressed early criticisms about handling feel. The coupe remained r
2024 Subaru BRZ Brochure
By 2024, the BRZ had matured into a straightforward proposition in a segment increasingly choked with turbocharged alternatives. Subaru's answer remained unchanged: a naturally aspirated 2.4-litre flat-four producing 228 horsepower, paired with a six-speed manual or automatic transmission. Buyers seeking unfiltered engagement found fewer rivals willing to deliver it without for
2015 Subaru BRZ Hyper Blue Edition Brochure
By 2015, Subaru's Australian lineup needed a driver's car that spoke to enthusiasts tired of turbo-heavy rivals. The Hyper Blue Edition arrived as a focused proposition: 200 horsepower from a naturally aspirated 2.0-litre flat-four, lightweight construction, and a manual transmission that rewarded precision. This wasn't about outrunning competitors—it was about rewarding the dr
2017 Subaru BRZ STi Gray Edition Brochure
The 2017 STi Gray Edition leveraged the same naturally aspirated 2.0-litre horizontally opposed engine producing 205 horsepower, but Subaru's engineers refined the chassis tuning for tighter body control. This special edition arrived as a limited-run variant, competing directly against Mazda's MX-5 RF and Toyota's 86 sibling by offering exclusive grey exterior finishes and dark
2017 Subaru BRZ Series Yellow Brochure
By 2017, the BRZ Series Yellow arrived as Subaru's answer to affordable sports car buyers who wanted more than base-model thrills. The 2.0-litre flat-four engine produced 205 horsepower, paired with either a six-speed manual or automatic transmission. Positioned against the Scion FR-S and used Miatas, it offered Japanese reliability and that distinctive boxer rumble at a price
2019 Subaru BRZ Tim Schrick Edition Brochure
Under the Tim Schrick Edition banner, the 2019 BRZ gained a turbocharged 2.0-litre flat-four producing 200 horsepower, keeping pace with rivals like the 86 GT in North America. The platform's low centre of gravity and 50/50 weight distribution remained core to its appeal, but this variant sharpened the package with track-focused suspension geometry and forged wheels.
