New 2026 Subaru BRZ in Bellevue, NE
The BRZ is the one Subaru that leaves all-wheel drive at home, and that is entirely the point. Two doors, a front-mounted engine, and drive going to the rear wheels add up to the classic sports car layout, which the front-wheel-drive Honda Civic Si and Volkswagen GTI simply cannot replicate. The 2.4-liter direct-injection SUBARU BOXER engine produces 228 horsepower and 184 lb-ft, more power than a Mazda MX-5 Miata or a Civic Si, and it sits low in the nose for a center of gravity you feel in every corner. Track-tuned suspension, quick-ratio steering, and heavily bolstered sport seats come standard, and the tS adds an STI-tuned setup from Subaru Tecnica International.

Low, Wide, and Shaped by Physics
The long hood and cab-rearward stance come from putting a flat BOXER engine low behind the front axle, not from a styling exercise. Eighteen-inch aluminum alloy wheels and LED Steering Responsive Headlights that turn with the road are standard on both trims.
Interior
A Cockpit With a G-Force Meter
Heavily bolstered sport seats in Ultrasuede and leather hold you in place, while a customizable digital instrument cluster adds a digital G-force meter alongside Sport and Track modes. Dual-zone climate and push-button start keep it livable daily.
Two Ways to Build a 2026 BRZ
Both trims share the 228-horsepower 2.4-liter BOXER, rear-wheel drive, Ultrasuede and leather upholstery, 18-inch alloys, and LED Steering Responsive Headlights. The decision comes down to how seriously you take the suspension, and whether you want the choice of an automatic.

The 2026 BRZ: Purity You Can Actually Afford
Affordable rear-wheel-drive sports cars have been quietly disappearing for two decades, which makes the BRZ's continued existence worth noticing. The formula is unchanged and uncompromised: two doors, an engine ahead of the driver, and power sent to the rear wheels. Subaru's 2.4-liter direct-injection BOXER produces 228 horsepower and 184 lb-ft, more than either the Mazda MX-5 Miata or the Honda Civic Si, and because the BOXER layout is flat, it mounts unusually low in the chassis. That single engineering decision is what gives the BRZ its planted, rotate-on-command handling.
The hardware supports the concept rather than decorating it. Track-tuned suspension and quick-ratio steering are standard, and the tS, developed by the motorsport engineers at Subaru Tecnica International, swaps in an STI-tuned setup for sharper response. Notably, the tS is offered with a manual transmission only, with no automatic available at any price. The Limited is where you go if you want the option of two pedals.
Inside, the cockpit was designed around driving rather than commuting, though it manages both. Heavily bolstered sport seats are trimmed in Ultrasuede and leather, the digital instrument cluster is customizable and includes a G-force meter, and Sport and Track modes change the car's responses. It is also a Consumer Reports Recommended Model, and Subaru reports 96 percent of its vehicles sold in the last decade remain on the road. Browse our BRZ inventory.
2026 Subaru BRZ: Frequently Asked Questions
Does the BRZ have all-wheel drive?
No, and that is intentional. The BRZ is the only Subaru built with rear-wheel drive, because the classic two-door, front-engine, rear-drive layout is what delivers the handling balance the car exists for. Every other model in the lineup offers Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive if that is what you need.
How much power does the 2026 BRZ have?
228 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque from a 2.4-liter direct-injection SUBARU BOXER engine. That is more horsepower than either the Mazda MX-5 Miata or the Honda Civic Si. Because the BOXER engine is flat rather than upright, it sits lower in the chassis, which lowers the center of gravity and is central to how the car handles.
What is the BRZ tS?
The sharper version, engineered by Subaru Tecnica International, Subaru's motorsport division. The tS receives an STI-tuned suspension for quicker response and more precise handling. It is offered exclusively with a manual transmission, with no automatic available, which tells you fairly directly who Subaru built it for.
Can I get a BRZ with an automatic transmission?
Only on the Limited, where an automatic is optional. The tS is manual only. If you want the STI-tuned suspension, you are committing to shifting yourself. Fuel economy also differs between the two trims, with the Limited rated at 30/21 mpg and the tS at 27/20.
Is the BRZ practical enough to drive every day?
More than most sports cars. Keyless Access with Push-Button Start, dual-zone automatic climate control, and LED Steering Responsive Headlights are standard, and the rear seats fold to expand the trunk, which is deep enough for a set of track wheels. The caveat for Nebraska is winter: rear-wheel drive on summer-oriented tires is a poor combination in snow, so most owners fit winter tires or keep a second vehicle.
What technology is in the cockpit?
A customizable digital instrument cluster that includes a digital G-force meter, along with selectable Sport and Track modes that adjust the car's responses. Seating is heavily bolstered and trimmed in Ultrasuede and leather on both trims, and quick-ratio steering shortens the distance between your hands and the front tires.
Is the BRZ reliable?
It is a Consumer Reports Recommended Model, and Consumer Reports named Subaru the Best Overall Automotive Brand two years running. Subaru also reports that 96 percent of its vehicles sold in the last ten years are still on the road today, more than Honda, Toyota, or Hyundai. For an affordable sports car, that record is unusual.
Should I choose the BRZ or the WRX?
The BRZ is lighter, rear-wheel drive, and the more playful car on a good road or a track day. The WRX is a four-door with turbocharged power and Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, which makes it the realistic year-round choice in Nebraska and the one that fits car seats. Buy the BRZ for the driving, the WRX for the driving plus the winter. See our BRZ inventory or drive both in Bellevue.
