BRZ in 2026 — what's new

For 2026, the Malaysian Subaru BRZ carries on unchanged. The current range remains the 2.4 6MT and 2.4 6AT, both using a 2,387 cc petrol engine with 234 hp. Recent BRZ headlines have centred on special editions and overseas models, including Japan’s STI Sport Type RA, the STI Sport Purple Edition, Kuala Lumpur Editions and the US-market tS with upgraded brakes, dampers and EyeSight for manual variants.

Which variant to buy

The 2.4 6MT costs RM 249,245 and is the one to buy if you want the cheaper BRZ and a manual gearbox. The 2.4 6AT is RM 259,245, so the RM10,000 gap buys the conventional automatic transmission rather than more power; both variants are listed with the same 2,387 cc petrol engine, 234 hp output and four-seat layout. Pay more only if you want the automatic.

Verdict

The BRZ keeps its brief simple: a 234 hp 2.4-litre petrol coupe with either a manual or conventional automatic gearbox. It is also priced below the listed sports coupe rivals in Malaysia, with the Toyota GR86 starting from RM 296,000 and the Ford Mustang from RM 461,271. The catch is that the Malaysian range has not received the newer special-edition hardware seen in recent overseas BRZ headlines.
