2025 Subaru BRZ Coupe Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2025 Subaru BRZ is available in three trim levels: Premium, Limited and tS. The only engine available is a 2.4-liter four-cylinder (228 horsepower, 184 lb-ft of torque) mated to either a six-speed manual transmission or a six-speed automatic (only available on the Limited trim). All BRZs are rear-wheel-drive. Keep reading for our rundown of the significant features you get on each trim.

Premium
This base model includes:

  • 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
  • Six-speaker audio system
  • Leather-wrapped steering wheel
  • Keyless proximity entry with push-button start

Subaru's EyeSight package is standard and it includes:

  • 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
  • Lane departure warning (alerts you if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane)

Limited
The Limited is the only way to get the six-speed automatic transmission. Opting for this trim level also upgrades the BRZ with this equipment:

  • 18-inch wheels with high-performance summer tires
  • Heated front seats
  • Leather and synthetic suede upholstery
  • Eight-speaker audio system
  • Blind-spot warning (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 impact)

tS
Based on the Limited trim, opting for the tS also adds:

  • STI-tuned suspension with Hitachi dampers
  • Brembo braking system with four-piston front calipers and two-piston rears painted in gold
  • 18-inch dark gray metallic wheels
  • Blue interior contrast stitching

Which BRZ trim does Edmunds recommend?

With the newly enhanced interior trim, we think the BRZ Limited trim is an even more compelling choice. You get a lot for your money, including 18-inch wheels, heated seats, and leather and synthetic suede upholstery, all of which make meaningful differences in the way the driver interacts with the car. And because the base car's performance is already solid, we don't think most people need the upgrades that come with the tS trim.
