Which Subaru BRZ trim should I buy?

The 2022 Subaru BRZ offers these trims:

• Premium: This is the entry trim, and it gives you the BRZ’s core rear-drive sports-car formula with the standard manual transmission or available automatic, plus the 8-inch touchscreen, digital gauge cluster, and the model’s balanced chassis character. It’s the best-value choice if you want the BRZ experience with the lowest starting point.
• Limited: This trim adds Ultrasuede upholstery with red accent stitching, dual-mode heaters, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keep assist, steering responsive headlights, and, on automatic models, reverse automatic braking. It suits you if you want the most complete mix of comfort, tech, and safety equipment.

What Subaru BRZ do most buyers choose?

The Subaru BRZ years with the most listings are 2024, 2023, and 2025.

Higher-volume years tend to be the easiest places to shop because you get more inventory to compare and a better chance of finding the color, mileage, and condition you want. They also tend to be the years most shoppers cross-shop first when looking for a used BRZ.

What is the Subaru BRZ's resale value?

Most of the years shown are moving slightly lower, which can work in your favor if you’re shopping used. One model year is essentially flat, and another is edging up a bit, so the BRZ’s pricing picture is mixed rather than uniformly falling.

The 2022 and 2023 model years are holding steady, with prices close to flat year-over-year.

The 2022, 2023, and 2017 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
