Overview
The Subaru BRZ is a four-seat, rear-wheel-drive petrol sports coupe for drivers who want a 234 hp 2.4-litre car with a choice of six-speed manual or automatic transmission. This ZD8 generation launched in 2023. Prices start at RM249,245, placing it below the Toyota GR86’s RM296,000 entry point.
BRZ in 2026 — what's new
For 2026, the Malaysian BRZ carries on unchanged as the ZD8 generation launched in 2023. It remains a two-variant, 2.4-litre petrol rear-wheel-drive coupe, offered with a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic and four seats. The latest BRZ development is the 2027 US-market ZC15 anniversary model, which receives design and handling tweaks.
Which variant to buy
The RM249,245 2.4 6MT is the default pick: it has the same 2,387 cc 234 hp petrol engine, rear-wheel drive and four-seat layout as the automatic. Pay RM10,000 more for the RM259,245 2.4 6AT only if an automatic is essential. On paper, that gap changes the transmission rather than the engine output or driven wheels.
Verdict
The BRZ keeps the brief focused: a petrol-powered, rear-wheel-drive coupe with 234 hp, four seats and a real manual option. It costs less than the RM296,000 Toyota GR86 and is far removed from the RM1,882,888 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT on price. On paper, the automatic costs more but does not add power, so the transmission is the material split in the local line-up.
