Product Overview

The 2nd-generation BRZ continues the cooperation between Subaru and Toyota with a new 2.4-liter NA boxer engine in the classic lightweight RWD format: it will come in 2021 as a 2022 MY vehicle.
The new Subaru BRZ enjoys an ultra-low center of gravity, thanks to the unique Subaru boxer engine that is mounted low and back in the engine bay, as well as improved steering and handling. Aluminum is used in the roof and several body panels to reduce weight, keeping all trim levels under 2900 lbs curb weight.
Design-wise, the 2nd-gen Subaru BRZ keeps the style of the original while elongating the chassis, resulting in a more elegant and aerodynamic vehicle.
Inside, the new BRZ features a new customizable 7-inch digital dashboard, which is complemented with an 8-inch infotainment touch screen that integrated with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

External Reviews

Reviewer score 70% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from carwow have found:
The Subaru BRZ was developed alongside the Toyota GT86. It's a back-to-basics sports coupe that you could consider as an alternative to models such as the Audi TT, BMW 2 Series and Mazda MX-5 RF. In many ways, the BRZ feels very dated inside, but on the other hand, everything is geared around the needs of the driver – and, arguably, that's as it should be in a car like this Subaru.
Pros
  • Fantastic handling
  • Lots of equipment
Cons
  • No low-down pull
  • Engine feels a little slow to respond
