2024 Subaru BRZ gains price hikes, tS grade

Subaru’s BRZ hasn’t escaped the current wave of inflation, with prices for the 2024 model year rising sharply.

The base BRZ Premium grade is now priced from $31,315, including a $1,120 destination charge, or $1,700 higher than 2023’s pricing which itself was up $660 on pricing for 2022, when the BRZ was redesigned.

Helping to justify the price hike is the addition of Subaru’s EyeSight suite of electronic driver-assist features as standard. It brings handy features like adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, and lane departure warning.

Additional standard features for the Premium grade include a Torsen limited-slip differential, LED headlights, 17-inch wheels, a 7-inch digital gauge cluster, and a stability control system with a track mode. Part of the digital gauge cluster includes a customizable meter that can display amps, coolant temperature or lateral g forces. When the track mode is selected, the tachometer switches from a conventional circular design to a linear graph.

New for 2024 is the addition of the BRZ tS grade which is slated to reach dealerships early next year. Unveiled in July, the tS, the name signifying the model as “tuned by STI,” features mild performance tweaks like upgraded suspension with Hitachi dampers, plus Brembo brakes, 18-inch wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires, as well as some exterior accents. The BRZ tS is the range-topping grade and is priced from $36,465, including destination.

Serving as the middle of the range is the BRZ Limited which is priced from $33,815. This grade adds some luxury items over the base grade, including Ultrasuede trim with red leather accents, an enhanced sound system, heated side mirrors, and additional driver-assist features. Unlike the Premium and tS which come exclusively with 6-speed manual transmissions, the Limited can be fitted with a 6-speed automatic for an additional $950.

All 2024 BRZ grades come with a 2.4-liter flat-4 engine rated at 228 hp. The 0-60 mph time is six seconds with the manual and seven seconds with the automatic.
