A comprehensive update to the 2017 BRZ includes improved handling, increased performance, more aggressive styling and new convenience features.

These enhancements continue the company’s original mission of offering enthusiasts a pure sports car with an unmatched driving experience.

Priced from $25,495, the 2017 BRZ Premium trim model increases just $100 from previous model year.

The BRZ, known for its ultra-low center of gravity and precision handling, offers several updates to increase its performance on the track and the open road.

For improved responsiveness, stability and comfort, BRZ adds updated coil springs and dampers as well as a larger rear stabilizer bar.

Additional reinforcements added to the chassis are behind the strut tower braces, and to the transmission cross-member plate and rear wheel housings to increase rigidity.

The stability control system thresholds are raised to allow the driver to experience more of the car’s improved handling, and in “Sport” mode the results were dramatic enough for Subaru to change the name of “Sport” mode to “Track”.

A new aluminum intake manifold and redesigned exhaust manifold increase air flow, upping the engine output in models with the 6-speed manual transmission to 205-hp and 156 lb-ft of torque.

Also, a lower final drive ratio from 4.1 to 4.3:1 paired with the standard Torsen® limited-slip differential, improves acceleration on models with the manual transmission.

In addition to LED headlights and rear combination lights and Daytime Running Lights, all trims receive Incline Start Assist that holds the vehicle momentarily in position while the driver accelerates to prevent roll back on an incline. Also new to BRZ are steering wheel control switches for audio, cruise control and Bluetooth®.

A new aluminum rear spoiler in matching body color and black finish is now standard on all lines. The new pedestal design improves the vehicle’s downforce, which in turn improves stability and control. The Premium and Limited models receive a new 10-spoke, 17-in aluminum alloy wheel with a high-contrast black and machined finish.
