Model & Year Overview

Subaru BRZ 2022

The 2022 Subaru BRZ is a complete second-generation redesign on the wider and stiffer GA-MC platform, sharing its development with the Toyota GR86. The new FA24 2.4L naturally aspirated flat-four produces 228 hp and 184 lb-ft — a 23 hp and 28 lb-ft improvement over the FA20D — and critically delivers better torque across the mid-range, addressing the first generation's primary powertrain criticism. The 6-speed manual adds a revised short-throw shifter; the 6-speed automatic gains paddle shifters with improved response. Structural rigidity improves approximately 50% over the first generation via additional spot welds and structural adhesive. The interior is redesigned with a standard 8-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and improved seat bolstering. Canadian trims are Sport and Sport tech RS, with the RS adding a Torsen limited-slip differential, Brembo six-piston front brakes, and Sachs performance dampers. The BRZ remains exclusively rear-wheel drive — Subaru confirmed no AWD variant is planned.

Frequently Asked Questions

01

What are the specifications of the second-generation 2022 Subaru BRZ in Canada?

The 2022 Subaru BRZ marks the arrival of the fully redesigned second generation, co-developed with Toyota (2022 Toyota GR86). The naturally aspirated 2.4L FA24 Boxer four-cylinder produces 228 hp at 7,000 rpm and 184 lb-ft of torque at 3,700 rpm — an increase of 23 hp and 30 lb-ft over the previous generation. Available transmissions are a standard 6-speed manual with Sachs clutch or a 6-speed automatic with steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters. Rear-wheel drive is maintained, true to the car's sporting philosophy. The 2022 BRZ sits on a revised platform with a stiffer chassis (50 percent improvement in torsional rigidity), refined MacPherson front and multi-link rear suspension, and a lowered centre of gravity. The EyeSight safety system (automatic braking, adaptive cruise) is available only with the automatic transmission. In Canada, the 2022 BRZ was offered in two trims: Sport-tech RS and Limited. MSRP started at approximately $31,995 for the Sport-tech RS with manual, and approximately $34,995 for the Limited automatic. The body is a two-door four-seat coupe with symbolic rear seats. The standard audio system supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

02

Is the 2022 Subaru BRZ practical as a daily driver in Canadian winters?

The 2022 Subaru BRZ is a reasonable compromise as a Canadian daily driver, with significant caveats concerning winter. As a sport-oriented rear-wheel-drive coupe, the BRZ is not naturally suited for harsh Canadian winters. The rear-wheel drive, with manageable (but configurable) electronic stability control, requires winter driving experience to remain controlled on snow and ice. Installing quality winter tires is absolutely essential and significantly transforms behavior: tires like the Michelin X-Ice Snow or Bridgestone Blizzak in 215/45R17 (recommended winter size) radically change the safety margin. The limited ground clearance (130 mm) is problematic on unplowed streets in Montreal or Ottawa after heavy snowfall. The 237-litre trunk is sufficient for two travel bags or weekly groceries. The rear seats are usable only for young children or short trips. On the other hand, for daily commutes in well-maintained urban environments, the BRZ is economical to run: combined fuel consumption is approximately 9.5 L/100 km, maintenance is affordable, and insurance is generally accessible (approximately $1,600 to $2,400 in Ontario for a driver over 25). Many Canadian BRZ owners use a second vehicle in winter.

03

Does the 2022 Subaru BRZ offer good value compared to the Toyota GR86 in Canada?

The 2022 Subaru BRZ and the 2022 Toyota GR86 are mechanically nearly identical — same platform, same naturally aspirated 2.4L FA24 engine, same transmissions — with differences residing mainly in suspension tuning (the GR86 being slightly sharper according to some road tests), standard equipment content, and dealer networks. In Canada, the 2022 BRZ was generally offered at an MSRP similar to or marginally lower than the equivalent GR86. The GR86 benefited from access to the Toyota Canada Advantage program with sometimes more aggressive financing offers. The BRZ advantage may be for buyers located in cities where the Subaru network is denser or better positioned than the Toyota network. The base warranty is identical (3 years/60,000 km base, 5 years/100,000 km powertrain at Subaru; 3 years/60,000 km base, 5 years/100,000 km at Toyota). Resale value for both models is very similar — naturally aspirated rear-wheel-drive sport coupes are prized by enthusiasts, holding their value well on the Canadian used market. The choice between the two often comes down to the local dealer network, any promotions available at the time of purchase, and aesthetic preference — the GR86 having a slightly different exterior design from the BRZ.
