Subaru BRZ Review, For Sale, Colours, Specs, Interior & News

FROM $44,290

The Subaru BRZ is the (nearly) identical twin to the Toyota 86; it's even built on the same production line.

The deal to build the 2+2 two-door sports car sees Subaru supply the chassis and base 2.4-litre flat-four engine infrastructure, while Toyota supplies its fuel injection system and design. The rear-wheel drive coupe is designed to be affordable and entertaining, and is the only Subaru on sale locally that's offered with two-wheel drive. It also set a precedent when it went on sale in 2012, becoming the first Australian-sold car to be offered for sale directly through Subaru Australia's website.

Prices for the BRZ range from $44,290 to $53,590 for the BRZ (base) and BRZ Ts Kiiro.

This vehicle is also known as The Subaru BRZ is also known as Toyota FT86, Toyota GT86, Scion FR-S (2012–2016) in markets outside Australia..

Subaru BRZ Engine

The 2026 Subaru BRZ is powered by a 2.4-litre naturally aspirated horizontally-opposed 'boxer' four-cylinder engine producing 174kW and 250Nm.

This is mated to either a six-speed manual gearbox or torque-converter automatic transmission. All models feature a limited-slip rear differential.

Subaru BRZ Interior

The interior of the 2026 Subaru BRZ is driver-focused and minimal, with the centrepiece hovering around the 7.0-inch digital instrument cluster which features a prominent rev counter.

There's a modest 8.0-inch touchscreen multimedia system which features wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus physical shortcut buttons on either side.

Elsewhere around the cabin there is a manual handbrake which eats into the space where cupholders would usually go.

Subaru BRZ FAQs

Factory vs. Aftermarket: which oil is better?

I would use the factory recommended oil, at least while the car is under warranty. Once the warranty has expired you could use the Mobil oil and shouldn’t experience any problems.

Narrow SUV with enough power?

The XV is the narrowest vehicle of its type, no other SUV we checked was as narrow, which makes your quest a difficult one. Finding a vehicle that has more grunt isn't difficult, you can check the specs of the various cars on the web, but I think you'll have trouble finding a car that fits your width needs. You might need to rethink the type of car you want.

Failed power steering in BRZ?

You'd like to think that once fixed it won't happen again, particularly as it is happened to you once before, but no one can predict what might or might not happen in the future. No one can guarantee 100 percent that it won't happen again, but Subaru should be able to explain what caused the problem and give you a reasonable assurance that it wont re-occur. The dealer's responsibility is to fix your car; Subaru's should be to explain what happened and why so you can get back to driving your car with confidence. If the dealer doesn't want to help go directly to Subaru and ask to talk to an engineer. If you don't get any satisfaction go further up the company ladder until, if necessary, go all the way to the top. If the repairs are going to take some weeks as you suspect you should ask for a loan car so you're not without wheels.
