Subaru BRZ 2013-2021 Specifications

The 2013-2021 Subaru BRZ is equipped with a single engine option: a 2.0L naturally aspirated 4-cylinder BOXER engine. It produces 200 hp and 151 lb-ft of torque in earlier models and 205 hp and 156 lb-ft of torque in later models. This engine is designed for balanced performance and efficiency, with a focus on smooth power delivery and responsive handling.

The Subaru BRZ offers two transmission options: a 6-speed manual transmission and a 6-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters. The manual transmission is praised for its precise and engaging driving experience, while the automatic transmission provides smoother shifts and improved convenience.

Standard safety features include dual front airbags, side airbags, curtain airbags, anti-lock brakes (ABS), stability control, and traction control. Later models also include optional features like a rearview camera, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert.

The Subaru BRZ achieves an EPA-estimated 22-25 mpg in the city and 30-34 mpg on the highway, depending on the transmission. This is competitive with other sports cars in its class, such as the Toyota 86 and Mazda MX-5 Miata.

Subaru recommends oil changes every 6,000 miles or 6 months, tire rotations every 7,500 miles, and inspections of key systems (brakes, fluids, and filters) at regular intervals. Refer to the owner's manual for a detailed maintenance schedule.

Standard features include a 6.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system, Bluetooth connectivity, and a rearview camera. Optional features include leather seats, a premium audio system, navigation, and advanced driver-assistance systems.

The BRZ offers 6.9 cubic feet of trunk space, which is comparable to other compact sports cars. Passenger space is limited, with seating for four, though the rear seats are best suited for additional storage or small passengers.

The Subaru BRZ is not rated for towing. Its payload capacity is approximately 800 lbs, including passengers and cargo.
