Subaru of America (SOA) has officially announced pricing for the 2025 Subaru BRZ, continuing its legacy as one of the most affordable and engaging rear-wheel drive sports cars on the market. For the 2025 model year, the BRZ retains the key ingredients that made it a fan favorite—a potent 2.4-liter Subaru Boxer engine, sharp handling, and a sleek two-door coupe profile. However, the big news for enthusiasts is the price increase, with the base model starting at $31,095, excluding destination charges. With a price bump of up to $1,100, some may be asking: are the subtle updates worth the extra cash? Trim levels and new features for the 2025 Subaru BRZFor 2025, the Subaru BRZ lineup remains simple yet enticing, with three distinct configurations: Premium, Limited, and the performance-tuned tS model. The heart of the BRZ continues to be the naturally aspirated 2.4-liter Subaru Boxer flat-4 engine, producing 228 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. The standard transmission across all trims is the enthusiast-preferred six-speed manual, but buyers opting for the mid-tier Limited model have the option of a six-speed automatic. A notable update for the 2025 model year is the addition of a new 'Sport' mode, available exclusively on models equipped with the six-speed manual transmission. Subaru promises sharper throttle response with this mode, making it easier to exploit the car’s naturally balanced chassis and corner-hugging potential. While the Sport mode is the headline feature in the U.S. market, Subaru’s Japanese variant of the BRZ receives additional tweaks, including revised damper settings and electric power steering, enhancing its already sharp handling. Despite the modest changes, the BRZ continues to offer plenty of standard features, even in its base Premium trim. Buyers will enjoy a Torsen limited-slip differential, LED headlights, 17-inch alloy wheels, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a digital gauge cluster. The gauge cluster’s 7.0-inch display is customizable, allowing drivers to monitor everything from lateral g-forces to coolant temperature. Engaging Track mode transforms the tachometer from a traditional circular layout into a more aggressive linear graph, perfect for performance-minded drivers. On the tech front, the BRZ comes equipped with a standard 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system, complete with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. Safety isn’t overlooked either, with features like adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, and lane-departure warning available as standard on the Limited and tS trims. At the top of the range, the STI-enhanced tS model stands out with performance upgrades, including Hitachi dampers, Brembo brakes, and 18-inch wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires. With additional suspension tuning and subtle exterior accents, the tS represents the most aggressive and track-ready variant of the BRZ family, further solidifying its place as a true driver’s car.
