brz vs brz s

Comparing the Subaru BRZ and the BRZ S is like choosing between a cheeky grin and a full-blown smirk. The BRZ S typically ups the ante with a few performance and comfort upgrades over the base BRZ, such as better suspension tuning, possibly Brembo brakes, and a slightly more luxurious interior. The base BRZ is no slouch though, offering a 2.0-litre boxer engine with around 152 kW and a lightweight chassis that’s pure driving fun.

Pros of BRZ:

• More affordable, making it a sweet entry point into sporty coupes
• Light and nimble, perfect for purists

Pros of BRZ S:

• Enhanced handling and braking hardware for sharper driving
• Upgraded interior and tech features for comfort

Neither screams luxury, but both scream 'I know how to have fun on a budget.' For pricing, expect the BRZ S to be roughly $5,000–$7,000 AUD more than the base BRZ new. Used prices vary widely; check CarShowroom or Tradingpost for current deals. Always consult official Subaru specs for the nitty-gritty.
