2024 Subaru BRZ Specs, Price, Colors – When it comes to cheap sports coupes, the Subaru BRZ has a lot to live up to. It’s understandable, therefore, if you’re concerned about how the car’s second generation will modify it. After a week of driving a 2024 Subaru BRZ, I can say that it’s as much fun as ever and more enjoyable to live with than ever before.
The BRZ was expected to be powered by the same 2.4-liter turbo flat-four seen in Subaru’s bigger Outback and Ascent models. And it did, in a way. The BRZ’s 2.4-liter H4 engine uses natural aspiration rather than turbocharging, and I have no complaints about this.
2024 Subaru BRZ Redesign
Exterior Design
The appearance of the first-generation Subaru BRZ is appealing to me, but the second-generation coupe’s design is more appealing to me. The 2024 Subaru BRZ retains its wedgy shape, but the headlights have softer lines and the grille is a little smaller. The rear end is a little less aggressive, too, and the style looks better here than it does on the 2024 WRX, for sure. The bigger 18-inch wheels on the Limited model look great in the wheel wells.

A 7-inch digital display replaces the physical gauges of the outgoing BRZ. It’s another primitive interface, but I can easily see it at any speed, and the steering wheel switches enable me quickly flip between important data items like tire pressures and the distance to empty. An adjustable yellow zone is available on the center tachometer so that I may behave more maturely when driving, and the cluster will beep when it’s time to shift if I like to keep my eyes on the road at all times while driving.
Subaru is known for its aggressive approach to safety features, so it should come as no surprise that this will be the case with the BRZ in 2024. Standard on the EyeSight suite of driver assistance features is the automatic versions’ emergency braking and adaptive cruise control. Compared to Restricted, which comes standard with blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic warning, my manual tester offers a more limited array of safety features.
Interior Design
Interior space rises as well for 2024. There are a couple more angles on the dashboard, so you aren’t as close to the firewall as before. There are also additional temperature control knobs and toggles right below the standard ones, giving the switchgear a more expensive appearance. More crucially, a redesigned clamshell cover for the middle armrest conceals two cup holders and two USB-A connections with 2.1 amps of power. The bolstering in the front seats is just perfect, but not so much that you feel like you’re being hugged by Grandma. For a vehicle this compact, the front bucket seats are more than enough for passengers.

The 8-inch touchscreen in the 2024 BRZ is standard equipment on all models, regardless of trim level, and it runs a rudimentary version of Subaru’s Starlink infotainment system. Although it’s not a very stylish or user-friendly system, I can always use my phone to connect to Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. USB ports have been incorporated into the central armrest, which eliminates the need for dangling cords around the room.
2024 Subaru BRZ Engine
Even though the output is greater than the first-generation BRZ’s at 228 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque, the car’s character isn’t altered as much as it would be with a turbocharger. There’s no stopping this little guy from revving, and it sounds fantastic when the needle approaches 5,000 rpm. BRZ’s maximum torque of 3,700 rpm no longer makes it a highway marvel. It’s true: You can now go in sixth gear and accelerate.

Subaru’s 2.4-liter flat-four motor is likely to be used in the next 2024 BRZ. Either a turbocharged engine with 260 horsepower or a normally aspirated engine with 217 horsepower is recommended by a reputable authority. It should have a six-speed manual gearbox and only be available with rear-wheel drive.
2024 Subaru BRZ Price and Release Date
The best part is that the 2024 Subaru BRZ is still of great value. You can get a base model for $28,995 (plus $960 in destination fees), while the more luxurious Limited trim costs just $31,455. Because of features like heated front seats and the aforementioned safety technology, I’d go with the Limited trim for my vehicle. Only the new Toyota GR 86 and if you want a convertible, the Mazda MX-5 Miata is now in the running.
