“It's not the fastest car out there, but the handling is superb. Especially for the cost compared to a challenger, mustang, or Camaro. Plus the style of the car is attractive.”
2024 Subaru BRZ: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2024 Subaru BRZ is that EyeSight driver-assist technology becomes standard across the lineup, including cars with a manual transmission. Subaru also adds the tS, a new top trim focused on sharper handling and stronger braking rather than more power.
About the 2024 Subaru BRZ
2nd generation (launched for 2022), third model year; 2024 is a light update year with standard EyeSight across the lineup and the new tS performance trim.
Subaru positions the BRZ as a pure, driver-focused sports coupe built around the classic formula of front engine, rear-wheel drive, low weight, and sharp balance. It is the only rear-wheel-drive Subaru, and the brand leans hard on steering feel, quick responses, a naturally aspirated 2.4-liter engine, and a cockpit designed around the driver. Compared with rivals, the BRZ aims to blend everyday usability with a more approachable ride than some harder-edged alternatives, without losing the fun.
The 2024 BRZ remains a compact, rear-wheel-drive coupe with a 228-hp 2.4-liter engine. The Premium is the simple, manual-only starting point with an 8-inch touchscreen, while the Limited adds heated seats and more comfort features. The new manual-only tS tops the range with STI-tuned dampers, Brembo brakes, and distinct blue interior accents.

2024 Subaru BRZ
(20 reviews)
“You will be bored/unhappy driving any other car after you drive a BRZ. Smartphone connectivity is rough and the interior/exterior design leaves a little to desire. But nothing feels as natural to drive.”
“Great car overall, and a lot of fun. The experience is notably worsened by the Eyesight system, which is hyper-vigilant and even sometimes paranoid, especially with a manual transmission. You can turn it off, but it isn't sticky, so you have to turn it off each time you start the car. Would be far better if the setting was sticky. I personally wish I had the previous year without the Eyesight system.”
