2026 Subaru BRZ is quick because the numbers support it: 228 horsepower and 184 lb ft of torque from a 2.4 liter DOHC BOXER engine, plus a close ratio 6 speed manual transmission that comes standard. For drivers who prefer an automatic, a 6 speed automatic transmission with manual mode and paddle shifters is available on certain trims, letting you keep both hands on the wheel while you manage shifts through corners.

Handling is where BRZ earns its reputation. You get quick ratio electric power assisted steering with a 13.5:1 ratio and a tight 35.4 foot turning circle, which helps the car feel responsive in everyday driving and on twisty roads. Both trims use 18 x 7.5 inch aluminum alloy wheels wrapped in 215/40 R18 Michelin Pilot Sport 4 summer high performance tires, and both include a TORSEN limited slip rear differential for confident power delivery when traction gets tricky.
