2024 Subaru BRZ pricing and features: Sporty tS joins more expensive range

Subaru will introduce a more hardcore tS variant of its BRZ sports car in 2024. Available in both manual and automatic (for an extra $1000), the new flagship costs $48,690 before on-road costs.

Following the Toyota GR86 update, the updated BRZ manual now gets adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning, pre-collision braking, and lead vehicle departure alert from Subaru's Eyesight safety suite.

Unlike the GR86, though, the BRZ's price climbs for MY24. Reflecting the additional features, manuals are up $3500 and therefore dearer than the Toyota option. Automatic variants climb $700.

BRZ tS features

The first identifier is a set of 18-inch dark grey alloy wheels shod in 215/40 R18 Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres behind which are four-piston front and two-piston rear gold Brembo brake calipers.

STI has developed a firmer chassis with new dampers front and rear, though ride height and spring rates stay the same.

There are tS badges found at the front and back while the black door mirrors and antenna add extra menace.

The cabin has been lifted with black/Bordeaux coloured Ultrasuede and leather upholstery, STI-embossed setas, red STI start button and STI logo in the digital instrument cluster.

"The BRZ has earned a reputation as a driver's car thanks to its superb engineering", said Blair Read, Managing Director of Subaru Australia. "We are therefore excited to add to the BRZ offering for Australian drivers the best performing and handling BRZ ever with the tS."

The rest of the BRZ range is unchanged with the 174kW/250Nm 2.4-litre flat-four petrol engine driving the rear wheels via a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission and limited-slip differential.

Spending the extra $1300 on the BRZ S brings 18-inch alloys, natural and synthetic leather trim and Ultrasuede for its seat material, plus heated front seats.

However, the base car is still well equipped with LED headlights, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto capable head unit, dual-zone climate control and navigation.

Seven paint colours are available across the BRZ range, including the tS.

The tS and 2024 BRZ range are available to pre-order online or in Subaru dealers now.
