Overview
The Subaru BRZ is a four-seat, rear-wheel-drive sports coupe for drivers who want a 234 hp petrol 2.4-litre engine and the choice of a six-speed manual or automatic. The ZD8 generation launched in 2023, and the range starts from RM249,245. It is one of the lower-priced entries in the Sports Car Coupe class.
BRZ in 2026 — what's new
In 2026, the ZD8 Subaru BRZ carries on unchanged in Malaysia after its 2023 launch. The range comprises the 2.4 6MT and 2.4 6AT, each with a 2,387 cc petrol engine producing 234 hp, rear-wheel drive and four seats. Japan received a 300-unit BRZ STI Sport Type RA in 2025 with engine and handling upgrades, while the Malaysian line-up remains the two regular variants.

Which variant to buy
Most buyers should pick the BRZ 2.4 6MT at RM249,245. It has the same 2,387 cc, 234 hp petrol engine, rear-wheel drive and four-seat layout as the 2.4 6AT. The 2.4 6AT costs RM259,245, so the RM10,000 gap is for the automatic transmission rather than extra listed power or a different drivetrain. Buy the automatic only if two-pedal driving is non-negotiable; on paper, check the equipment list before paying more.

Subaru BRZ buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The BRZ keeps its remit simple: a 234 hp, rear-wheel-drive coupe with a manual option, an automatic alternative and four seats. The entry-level BRZ costs RM46,755 less than the Toyota GR86's RM296,000 starting price, while the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT sits in a vastly higher price bracket. Its appeal rests on that straightforward drivetrain layout and the availability of a six-speed manual.
