Subaru BRZ Engines and Transmissions

The Subaru BRZ engine is a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter flat-four, known for its linear power delivery and willingness to rev. Two transmissions are offered: a crisp six-speed manual for full driver control, or a six-speed automatic that shifts smoothly in daily driving. Both configurations send power exclusively to the rear wheels, reinforcing the coupe's playful, agile character and making the most of its low center of gravity.

Subaru BRZ Trims and Equipment

Subaru BRZ trim levels for the 2.0 MT configuration are distinguished by the MT badge, focusing on the manual transmission experience. Equipment on this version typically includes essentials like air conditioning and a touchscreen audio system, with some trims adding heated seats or upgraded upholstery. This keeps the car lightweight and driver-centric, while still providing comfort features for everyday usability.
