About the 2014 Subaru BRZ
1st generation BRZ (2013-2020), second model year; no redesign or mid-cycle refresh.
Subaru positions the BRZ as a return to the pure sports car: low weight, a very low center of gravity, precision steering, and rear-wheel-drive balance. The pitch is about handling feel more than straight-line power. At the same time, Subaru also sells it as a sports coupe you can actually live with, thanks to a folding rear seatback, useful trunk space, standard navigation/audio tech, and reasonable fuel economy.
The Premium trim is the straightforward, driver-focused version, with a 200-hp flat-four engine, rear-wheel drive, a limited-slip differential, and a 6.1-inch navigation touchscreen. The Limited keeps the same performance hardware but adds heated seats, leather-and-suede-like upholstery, dual-zone climate control, fog lights, and keyless access with push-button start.
