Is the Subaru BRZ all new in 2025?

Not exactly, every BRZ now comes with a Sport mode previously exclusive to automatic models. On manual-equipped cars, this mode sharpens throttle response for a more engaging drive. Inside, Limited models feature black microsuede seats with new red leather accents, darker red contrast stitching, and additional red trim throughout the cabin. Subaru has also revised the Active Sound Control system, which channels engine noise into the interior.

What engine comes with the Subaru BRZ?

Every 2025 BRZ is powered by a naturally aspirated 2.4-liter flat-four engine. It produces 228 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque, sent exclusively to the rear wheels. Buyers can choose between a six-speed manual for maximum driver engagement or an optional six-speed automatic for convenience.

What are the interior features of the Subaru BRZ?

The BRZ’s cabin is designed around the driver, with a 2+2 seating layout and a sporty, modern aesthetic. A 7.0-inch fully digital gauge cluster takes center stage, placing the tachometer front and center and transforming into a linear graph when Track mode is engaged. The front seats are heavily bolstered to provide support during spirited driving, while still offering everyday comfort.

Every BRZ comes equipped with an 8.0-inch center-mounted touchscreen that serves as the core of its infotainment system. Alongside touch controls, Subaru includes physical knobs for volume and tuning, plus dedicated buttons for quick access. The system supports Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and also offers SiriusXM satellite radio.

How does the Subaru BRZ ts drive?

I have two perspectives to answer this question:

As a fairly tall, family man, It’s not your a family car. There’s surprisingly decent space up front even behind the wheel. Loading gear and my children can be done but almost impossible. Sport mode makes commuting feel alive, not jumpy.

As a car enthusiast, the STI-tuned suspension and Brembo brakes bring a clarity and composure that demand confidence. The manual gearbox shifts with precision, and the low, flat chassis makes every backroad more fun. Acceleration is lively, steering is sharp, and the mechanical feel is rare in today’s digital world.

Final thoughts.

It’s a little sports car with refined performance, sharper handling, and just enough creature comforts to make it viable every day. It’s not a practical car, but it’s not trying to be. It’s a pure driving experience for an enthusiast and that might just make it the best “pure” sports car you can buy at this price.
