Used 2022 Subaru BRZ for Sale nearPhoenix, AZ

How much does the 2022 Subaru BRZ cost?

Prices have held steady compared to this time last year, signaling a stable and predictable market for this model year.

There are 131 listings available, which gives you a modest amount of inventory to compare before you buy.

Is the 2022 Subaru BRZ a good car?

Generally — the 2022 Subaru BRZ earns a 4.3/5 user rating and a 7.7/10 expert rating, which points to a well-liked sports car with broad appeal. Owners consistently praise its sporty performance, fun driving experience, comfortable ride, engaging handling, and stylish design. The trade-offs are a desire for more power, a better audio system, and improved seating comfort, while the BRZ’s focused coupe layout makes it best for you if you want a driver’s car rather than a practical daily hauler. The model scores 9/10 across Performance and Cost effectiveness. With 29.8% of listings marked as good or great deals, there’s still room to shop selectively.

Is the 2022 Subaru BRZ reliable?

Owners rate it 4.3/5, a solid signal of long-term satisfaction. The owner feedback also points to a car that feels sporty, fun, and comfortable enough to live with, while calling out the BRZ as a strong value for a sports car. On the expert side, the BRZ is described as quieter than before, more forgiving on the road, and still taut and precise when you push it. Subaru also backs it with a five-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty and three-year/36,000-mile basic warranty. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that this is still a low-volume sports coupe, so condition and maintenance history matter more than they would on a mainstream commuter car.

What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Subaru BRZ?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 77.1% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a history report on any BRZ you’re considering, even if the listing looks clean at first glance. A pre-purchase inspection is especially important on a sports car like this, since you want to know whether the car has been driven hard or modified. Focus on overall condition, including the interior, tires, brakes, and signs of wear that might not match the mileage.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base Premium gets 17-inch wheels with Michelin Primacy tires, while the Limited upgrades to 18-inch wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires, Ultrasuede upholstery with red accent stitching, dual-mode heaters, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. The Limited is the better-equipped choice if you want the more complete cabin and the grippier tire setup.
• Powertrain: The BRZ uses a 2.4-liter boxer-four engine with 228 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque, paired with either a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic with paddle shifters. The larger engine brings stronger low-end torque and quicker acceleration than the previous version.
• Safety package: Subaru’s EyeSight driver-assist tech is standard only on automatic-transmission models and includes adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-sway warning, lead vehicle start alert, and automatic high beams. The Limited adds blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keep assist, and steering responsive headlights, while automatic Limited models also get reverse automatic braking.
• Infotainment: You get a standard 8-inch touchscreen and digital gauge cluster, plus Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth connectivity, and SiriusXM satellite radio. The digital cluster also adds sport and track modes.
• Fuel efficiency: EPA fuel-economy ratings are 25 mpg combined, 21 mpg city, and 30 mpg highway with the automatic, or 22 mpg combined, 20 mpg city, and 27 mpg highway with the manual.

Which 2022 Subaru BRZ trim should I buy?

The 2022 Subaru BRZ is offered in 2 trim levels: Premium and Limited.

Here's the short version:

• Premium: This is the entry point, but it still gives you the core BRZ formula with the 2.4-liter engine, rear-wheel drive, a six-speed manual or automatic, an 8-inch touchscreen, and the digital gauge cluster. It makes the most sense if you want the lowest-cost way into the BRZ experience.
• Limited: This is the best-value trim if you want the more complete package, because it adds 18-inch wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires, Ultrasuede upholstery, dual-mode heaters, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keep assist, steering responsive headlights, and reverse automatic braking on automatic models.

The Limited is the trim to target if you want the most equipment and the strongest safety content, while the Premium is the simpler choice if you’re mainly focused on keeping the price down.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Subaru BRZ?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 29.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 131 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have held steady compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 77.1% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $25,086, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2022 Subaru BRZ's resale value?

The current average of $25,865 sits slightly below last year's $25,878.

That small decline suggests the BRZ has been holding its value fairly steadily rather than swinging sharply in either direction. For a future seller, that kind of price stability is helpful because it points to a market that is still comfortable with this car’s value. The BRZ’s niche appeal also helps keep interest alive among shoppers who want a lightweight sports coupe with a strong enthusiast following.

Vehicles with solid owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.3/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2022 Subaru BRZ safe?

It earns a 7/10 safety score from our experts.

Subaru’s EyeSight driver-assist tech is standard only on automatic-transmission models and includes adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-sway warning, lead vehicle start alert, and automatic high beams. The Limited trim adds blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keep assist, and steering responsive headlights, while automatic Limited models also get reverse automatic braking. Because this is a low-volume sports car, safety ratings from major crash-test organizations have not been released yet.

Should I buy a 2022 Subaru BRZ or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2022 if:

• 29.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 77.1% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have held steady compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.3/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
• The 2022 brings a redesigned exterior, a more powerful 2.4-liter engine, and more tech than the previous generation.

The bottom line: The 2022 is a strong pick if you want the redesigned BRZ with more power, better tech, and a stable used-market price. If you’re mainly chasing the lowest possible purchase price, it’s still worth comparing nearby model years and shopping for the cleanest, best-priced example rather than focusing on the badge year alone.
