How much does the Subaru BRZ cost in today's market?

Used Subaru BRZ prices span a wide range depending on model year. Here's what the market looks like right now:

The Subaru BRZ's current nationwide average price is $27,895, and its year-round low is $22,367.74. That puts the model's pricing in a fairly broad band across the years shoppers are most likely to cross-shop. Recently, prices have come down for the 2022, 2023, and 2024 models, making now a good time to shop recent model years.

Is the Subaru BRZ a good car?

Yes — the Subaru BRZ is a strong pick if you want a fun, engaging sports coupe with broad owner appeal. The all-generations owner rating is 4.59/5 across every model year in the data.

Owners consistently praise the BRZ for its agile performance, engaging handling, and responsive steering. The car also earns praise for its stylish design and strong value, especially among shoppers who want a rewarding drive without moving into a much pricier sports car. Expert reviews rate the 2015 and 2022 models among the highest across all years.

The main trade-offs that come up in recent expert coverage are a cramped back seat, limited power, and technology that some reviewers describe as dated. Those are the kinds of compromises you accept in exchange for the BRZ's lightweight, rear-drive character and driver-focused feel. 32.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.

Are Subaru BRZ models reliable?

For used buyers, long-term ownership risk looks manageable if you choose carefully and verify the vehicle history, especially on older examples.

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

Across all model years, at 71.3% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

Older model years carry meaningfully higher accident rates, so always verify the vehicle history report on pre-2022 models.

Key things to evaluate:

• Safety package: Subaru's EyeSight driver-assist tech
• Infotainment: a standard 8-inch touchscreen and digital gauge cluster with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth connectivity, and SiriusXM satellite radio
• Fuel efficiency: 25 mpg combined (21 mpg city, 30 mpg highway) with the automatic transmission and 22 mpg combined (20 mpg city, 27 mpg highway) with the manual transmission

Which Subaru BRZ trim should I buy?

The 2022 Subaru BRZ offers...

• Premium: This is the best-value trim, with the base BRZ Premium model getting 17-inch wheels with Michelin Primacy tires, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, leather upholstery, a standard six-speed manual gearbox or a six-speed automatic, and the standard 8-inch touchscreen and digital gauge cluster.
• Limited: This trim adds 18-inch wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires, Ultrasuede with red accent stitching, dual-mode heaters, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keep assist, steering responsive headlights, and reverse automatic braking on automatic-transmission models.

What Subaru BRZ do most buyers choose?

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

Higher-volume years tend to be the easiest to shop because you usually get more choices in price, mileage, and condition. They also tend to be the years most buyers gravitate toward when looking for a balance of availability and value.

What is the Subaru BRZ's resale value?

The BRZ's recent price movement is mostly downward, which can work in your favor if you're shopping used. The largest drop in the table is a sharp one, while the other listed years show smaller declines. That pattern suggests recent-model shoppers may find better value now than they did a year ago.

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

Is the Subaru BRZ safe?

• 2022: 7/10
• 2015: 7/10

For the safest used buy, the 2015 and 2022 models both post the highest confirmed score of 7/10.

Should I buy a used Subaru BRZ now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2024 model is at −7.91% versus a year ago, and the 2023 model is at −1.12%.
• Deal availability: The 2024 model has 30.1% good and great deals, and the 2023 model has 30.9%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2023 model has the most listings at a current average price of $27,580. The Subaru BRZ offers a lightweight, rear-drive, enthusiast-focused character that makes it especially appealing if you want a sports coupe built around balance and driver involvement.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: The 2.4-liter BRZ engine makes 228 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque, and Subaru quotes zero to 60 mph times of 6 seconds with the 6-speed manual transmission and 6.5 seconds with the 6-speed automatic.
• Tech: A standard 8-inch touchscreen and digital gauge cluster replace the previous 7-inch touchscreen and analog gauges, and Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth connectivity, and SiriusXM satellite radio are standard as well.
• Safety: The BRZ gets Subaru’s EyeSight driver-assist tech for the first time, albeit only on automatic-transmission models.
• Starting price: Pricing for the 2022 Subaru BRZ starts at $28,955 for the base Premium trim level with the manual transmission.

If you're buying used today, the 2023 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for 2028 inventory to mature.
