On February 3, 2026, Subaru of America, Inc. announced that the 2026 Subaru BRZ has once again earned a spot on the Car and Driver 2026 Editors’ Choice List, marking the third consecutive year the lightweight sports coupe has received this prestigious recognition in the Affordable Sports Cars category.
 
Car and Driver’s Editors’ Choice Awards are determined by expert automotive reviewers who test, rate, and rank more than 450 vehicles across 47 segments. To qualify, vehicles must earn a minimum rating of 9 out of 10 stars, highlighting the BRZ’s standout performance, balance, and driving dynamics.
 
Powered by a naturally aspirated 2.4-liter SUBARU BOXER® engine producing 228 horsepower, the 2026 BRZ delivers power exclusively to the rear wheels for a true sports-car driving experience. A standard 6-speed manual transmission comes equipped on all models, while a performance-tuned 6-speed automatic transmission is available for drivers who prefer it. Standard performance hardware includes a TORSEN® limited-slip rear differential, Michelin® Pilot® Sport 4 summer tires, sharper throttle response, and retuned electronic power steering.
 
Safety remains a priority, with all 2026 BRZ models equipped with standard EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology, including manual-transmission vehicles. Features include Adaptive Cruise Control, Pre-Collision Braking, Lane Departure and Sway Warning, and Lead Vehicle Start Alert. Blind-Spot Detection with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert further enhances driver awareness.
 
New for 2026, the Subaru BRZ Series.Yellow debuts as a limited-production trim, featuring an exclusive Sunrise Yellow exterior color, matte black wheels, and high-contrast yellow interior stitching throughout the cabin. Limited to just 350 units, the Series.Yellow model will arrive later this year with an MSRP of $39,360.
 
The 2026 Subaru BRZ is available now, starting at $35,860 MSRP, offering performance-focused driving and award-winning value for enthusiasts seeking a pure sports-car experience.
