2025 Subaru BRZ

 

The 2025 Subaru BRZ looks virtually identical to the 2024 model it replaces, but it has undergone some changes and naturally, the price has also been jacked up by as much as US$ 1,100. As with last year, the 2025 BRZ is sold in Premium, Limited, and tS configurations. All come with a six-speed manual transmission as standard, although the Limited can be optioned with a six-speed automatic. The most important new feature is a dedicated ‘Sport’ mode for cars with the six-speed manual, which improves throttle response.

In Japan, the 2025 BRZ has also benefited from revised damper settings and tweaked electric power steering to enhance handling. Curiously, Subaru’s press material for the US-market BRZ fails to make any mention of changes in the suspension. Sitting at the base of the range is the BRZ Premium. It starts at US$ 32,265, including a US$ 1,170 destination and delivery fee, an increase from last year’s US$ 31,315, which had a slightly cheaper US$ 1,120 destination/delivery fee.

Those looking for a slightly fancier model can opt for the BRZ Limited, sold in manual and automatic guises. Prices for the stick shift start at US$ 34,915 while the automatic kicks off from US$ 35,765, representing an increase of US$ 1,100 and US$ 1,000, respectively. The Limited adds 18-inch alloy wheels, Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires, heated wing mirrors, a better audio system, blind-spot detection with lane keep assist and rear-cross traffic alert, steering responsive headlights, and can be optioned with Subaru’s StarLink safety and security system. The only trim-exclusive upgrade made to the 2025 model are seats clad in Ultrasuede with red leather accents and dual-mode seat-heater controls.

Sitting at the top of the range is the BRZ tS, now starting at US$ 37,415 compared to US$ 36,465 last year. It has unique front and rear Hitachi dampers, Brembo brakes, unique 18-inch wheels, tS badging, and several model-specific interior trimmings. Like all 2025 models, a 2.4-liter naturally-aspirated four-cylinder with 228 hp and 250 Nm of torque is standard.
