2025 model year
What's new for 2025.
The 2025 Subaru BRZ introduces several performance and aesthetic refinements to maintain its status as a premier affordable sports coupe. The most significant mechanical update is the addition of a dedicated 'Sport' mode for models equipped with the 6-speed manual transmission, a feature previously reserved for automatic variants. This mode sharpens throttle response for a more engaging driving experience. A new, highly exclusive 'Series.Purple' Special Edition debuts for this model year, limited to just 500 units, featuring a unique Galaxy Purple Pearl exterior and STI-inspired performance parts. Additionally, the Limited trim receives an interior refresh with updated upholstery accents and stitching. Safety remains a priority with the EyeSight Driver Assist Technology now firmly established as standard equipment across the entire manual and automatic lineup.
