Used 2022 Subaru BRZ Coupe Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2022 Subaru BRZ is a small sport coupe available in two trim levels: Premium and Limited. Powering the rear wheels of the BRZ is a 2.4-liter horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine (228 horsepower, 184 lb-ft) through your choice of a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission. Highlighted features include:

Premium
Comes well equipped with features, such as:

  • 17-inch alloy wheels with summer tires
  • Limited-slip rear differential (helps maximize available traction during hard acceleration)
  • LED headlights
  • Dual-zone climate control
  • 8-inch infotainment touchscreen
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility
  • Leather-wrapped steering wheel
  • Keyless proximity entry with push-button start

Selecting the optional automatic transmission also adds:

  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Subaru and the car in front)
  • Automatic emergency braking (warns if a front impact is imminent and applies the brakes if you don't respond in time)
  • Automatic high-beam headlights
  • Steering wheel-mounted shift paddles for the transmission

Limited
Adds a few features and improves handling, with:

  • 18-inch wheels with high-performance summer tires
  • Heated front seats
  • Simulated suede and leather upholstery
  • Blind-spot monitor (alerts you if a vehicle in the next lane over is in your blind spot)
  • Adaptive headlights (swivel as you turn the steering wheel for better illumination in curves)
  • Subaru's Starlink communication services
  • Rear automatic braking (applies the brakes automatically to avoid an imminent collision with an object behind the vehicle; automatic transmission only)

Which BRZ trim does Edmunds recommend?

Of the two available trim levels, we'd put our money on the Limited. Stepping up to this trim gets you grippier, higher-performance summer tires on 18-inch wheels plus other nice-to-have features such as blind-spot monitoring, heated front seats, faux suede upholstery and adaptive headlights. Getting the manual transmission enhances driving enjoyment, but choosing it means you lose out on some of the car's available driving aids.
