Additional new features for the system include "Tune Mix" which mixes songs from music channels stored as presets and "Sports Flash" which provides information and updates on pre-selected sports teams.

The Subaru BRZ, renowned for its ultra-low center of gravity and precision handling, is powered by a 205 hp, 2.0-liter SUBARU BOXER engine, six-speed close-ratio manual transmission and TORSEN^® limited-slip differential (optional automatic transmission model has 200 hp).

The leather-wrapped steering wheel integrates control switches for audio, cruise control and Bluetooth^®.

Front seats on the Limited trim are upholstered with Alcantara^® inserts and leather bolsters, and standard dual-mode heated front seats feature the BRZ logo embroidered in red on the seatbacks.
