New BRZ Inventory	Subaru Financing	Research Hub

The 2026 Subaru BRZ captures the essence of what driving enthusiasts love—balance, precision, and connection. Now sleeker, sharper, and more finely tuned, this lightweight rear-wheel-drive coupe channels Subaru’s performance DNA into every mile. With its naturally aspirated 2.4-liter BOXER® engine, upgraded braking, and agile handling, the BRZ offers pure joy on the open road while remaining approachable for everyday life.

For drivers around Killeen, Temple, and Copperas Cove, the BRZ delivers that rare blend of refinement and excitement. Whether you’re carving through Texas Hill Country or cruising down I-35, every turn feels personal and responsive.

Performance & Specs

	Powering every 2026 BRZ is Subaru’s high-revving FA24 2.4-liter SUBARU BOXER® engine, producing 228 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 184 lb-ft of torque at 3,700 rpm. Its naturally aspirated design ensures linear throttle response and instant power delivery. Matched to either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed automatic with Adaptive Control, the BRZ provides two distinct personalities—raw, hands-on control or refined automatic performance with paddle shifters and downshift blipping. Rear-wheel drive and a TORSEN® limited-slip differential create the classic sports car feel, while the vehicle’s remarkably low 17.95-inch center of gravity and near-perfect weight balance make every curve an opportunity for connection. The BRZ’s structure benefits from the rigidity of Subaru’s Global Platform, achieving a 50% increase in torsional stiffness over the previous generation. This translates into sharper turn-in, more predictable feedback, and better stability at high speeds. Fuel economy remains practical, too—manual models achieve 20 city / 27 highway / 22 combined mpg, while automatic-equipped BRZs reach 21 city / 30 highway / 25 combined mpg.

Capability

The BRZ’s capability lies in its precision engineering. A fully independent suspension—MacPherson struts up front and a double-wishbone design in the rear—delivers confidence through every maneuver. The Vehicle Stability Control system features multiple settings, including Track Mode, allowing experienced drivers to tailor handling to their liking. For 2026, the BRZ continues to impress with its mechanical upgrades. The tS and Series.Yellow trims come standard with STI-tuned Hitachi® dampers and a Brembo® Performance Braking System featuring 4-piston front and 2-piston rear calipers. Whether you’re braking hard into a corner or accelerating onto an open stretch of road, the system inspires total confidence. Curb weight starts at just 2,837 pounds, keeping the BRZ among the lightest sports cars in its class. That means it doesn’t rely on brute force—it achieves speed through finesse, balance, and Subaru’s signature connection between car and driver.

	Inside, the 2026 Subaru BRZ is designed with a singular focus—the driver. A 7-inch customizable digital instrument cluster places performance data like G-forces, gear position, and tachometer front and center. Every control falls naturally to hand, from the short-throw shifter to the leather-wrapped steering wheel with integrated audio and Bluetooth® controls. Seating offers a blend of support and comfort, ideal for long stretches from Killeen to Fort Worth or spirited drives along winding Central Texas backroads. The Ultrasuede® and leather-trimmed upholstery, accented in red, blue, or yellow stitching depending on trim, provides both grip during cornering and an upscale aesthetic. Dual-zone automatic climate control, heated seats, and aluminum pedal covers complete the sporty yet refined atmosphere. Despite its 2+2 coupe design, the BRZ is surprisingly practical. With 41.5 inches of front legroom and fold-down rear seats expanding its 6.3 cubic feet of trunk space, it’s ready to carry a weekend’s worth of luggage—or even a set of track tires.

	The 2026 BRZ exudes purposeful athleticism from every angle. A low, sculpted profile with a double-bubble roofline pays homage to classic racing designs, while modern aerodynamic enhancements improve stability at high speeds. LED lighting surrounds the coupe, including Steering Responsive Headlights and LED taillights with auto-on/off functionality. Each trim sports its own wheel finish: matte gray for Limited, dark gray metallic for tS, and matte black for Series.Yellow. The new Series.Yellow edition stands out boldly with its exclusive Sunrise Yellow paint, black badging, and contrasting dark wheels—a nod to Subaru’s motorsport heritage. Its look is unmistakable, catching eyes whether it’s parked downtown in Temple or gliding through the streets of Copperas Cove.

Beyond the technology, Subaru’s structural integrity and ring-shaped reinforcement frame offer peace of mind on every drive, supported by multiple airbags, Brake Assist, and whiplash-reducing front seats.
