The Subaru BRZ is entering the 2018 model year with
a host of improvements and a slightly higher sticker price. Set to arrive at
U.S. dealerships in January, the 2018 BRZ will be priced from US$ 25,595 which is US$ 100 more than last year's model. To help offset the price increase, the BRZ
has been equipped with a "Welcome Lighting" system which promises to
provide better nighttime visibility when approaching or exiting the vehicle.
The 2018 BRZ has also been outfitted with a
leather-wrapped shifter, one touch turn signals, and headlights that turn on
when the windshield wipers are activated. The entry-level BRZ Premium comes
nicely equipped with LED headlights, remote keyless entry, and black seats with
red contrast stitching. Drivers will also find a leather-wrapped steering
wheel, an eight-speaker audio system, and an infotainment system with a
6.2-inch display.
The BRZ Limited starts at US$ 28,445 and it adds LED
fog lights, a dual-zone automatic climate control system, and a keyless entry system
with a push-button ignition. Other highlights include leather / Alcantara
heated front seats, a 4.2-inch multi-function display in the instrument
cluster, and a 7-inch infotainment system with GPS navigation.
Options are fairly limited as the BRZ Limited can be
equipped with a six-speed automatic transmission for US$ 1,100. The Limited can
be also be outfitted with a US$ 1,195 Performance Package which adds
high-performance shock absorbers, an upgraded braking system, and 17-inch alloy
wheels with a black finish.
