2027 Subaru BRZ Prices Rise Slightly, Few New Extras

Small price bump for the 2027 BRZ, little else changes

Subaru has announced pricing for the 2027 BRZ, and the update is modest but notable: both available trims are roughly $300 more expensive than the previous model year. For buyers who hoped a higher sticker would bring meaningful new features, the offerings are light — the changes are evolutionary rather than transformative.

Trim lineup and pricing

The 2027 BRZ continues with a focused two-trim strategy: Limited and the sportier tS. Powertrain and core mechanical hardware remain the same across the range, preserving the BRZ’s driver-first recipe.

• BRZ Limited (manual): $36,140
• BRZ Limited (automatic): $36,990
• BRZ tS (manual only): $38,770

That roughly $300 increase depends on trim and gearbox choice, and while modest, it continues a steady upward trend in pricing since the car returned to showrooms more than a decade ago.

Performance and drivetrain details

Under the hood sits the familiar naturally aspirated 2.4-liter Subaru boxer engine, producing 228 horsepower and sending torque exclusively to the rear wheels. Driving purists will be glad the six-speed manual remains standard on both trims, while the Limited can also be specified with an electronic direct-control six-speed automatic that includes steering-wheel paddle shifters.

A Torsen limited-slip differential is standard equipment, helping the BRZ maintain the sharp handling and balanced feel that enthusiasts expect. The tS elevates the chassis hardware further with STI-tuned Hitachi dampers and Brembo brakes, aimed at buyers seeking more track-capable performance.

What’s new and what carries over

Subaru hasn’t overhauled the BRZ for 2027; instead it carries over recent updates such as a Sport driving mode and revisions to the electronic power steering system. The latest EyeSight suite is onboard as well, now using a wide-angle mono camera to broaden the system’s field of view.

Visual and equipment highlights include matte-gray alloy wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires on both trims. The tS adds mechanical upgrades and, as a small concession for the price hike, Subaru has included rear parking sensors on that trim for 2027.

• Engine: 2.4-liter naturally aspirated boxer, 228 hp
• Transmissions: 6-speed manual (standard), 6-speed direct-control automatic (optional on Limited)
• Drivetrain: Rear-wheel drive with Torsen LSD
• Suspension/Brakes (tS): STI-tuned dampers, Brembo brakes

Market positioning and takeaway

The BRZ remains a compact, driver-oriented sports coupe competing in a niche that prizes balance and steering feel more than horsepower wars. Its most direct rivals focus on similar virtues, which keeps Subaru's strategy sensible: incremental improvements rather than wholesale redesigns. For buyers craving more creature comforts or tech on top of performance, competitors sometimes provide richer equipment lists at nearby price points, but few match the BRZ's pure rear-wheel-drive engagement.

With arrival expected this fall, dealers will start receiving the 2027 BRZ soon. At the time of announcement, online configurators still reflected 2025 and 2026 models, so final ordering and accessory pricing may follow in the coming weeks.

For prospective buyers, the choice comes down to priorities: the manual Limited remains the best value for steering feel and driver involvement; the tS offers enhanced hardware for those wanting sharper handling and stronger brakes. The modest price increase won't deter die-hard fans, but shoppers seeking new bells and whistles might feel the 2027 update is underwhelming.

"It's a minor price adjustment for a model that still prioritizes driving dynamics over gadgetry," says one market observer. "Subaru has kept the BRZ focused, but that also means buyers shouldn't expect sweeping changes this year."
