What’s New?
Subaru’s EyeSight advanced driver-assist suite was already standard on BRZs equipped with an automatic transmission, but for 2024, it’s standard across the line, even on cars with a manual transmission. EyeSight includes forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control and lead vehicle start alert, which tells the driver that the vehicle ahead has moved at least 10 feet.
The more focused tS trim returns to the BRZ lineup for 2024. It gets Brembo brakes featuring larger rotors and pads and gold-painted calipers with four pistons in the front and two in the rear. The tS also comes with Hitachi dampers at all four corners, plus unique dark-gray 18-inch wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 4 high-performance rubber. Externally, the tS is only distinguished by trim-specific badging, as well as a black shark-fin antenna and mirrors. Inside, it gets blue stitching on the seats, steering wheel, parking brake boot and shifter boot.
