Subaru BRZ Performance Overview
Subaru’s rear-drive BRZ has been tracked across 23 verified tests spanning 2013 to 2024, defining a compact, naturally aspirated gasoline-coupe profile focused on balanced acceleration rather than outright output. Early first-generation cars opened with a wide spread in results, from the 2013 Limited at 7.7 seconds to 60 mph to the outlier 2013 Crawford Engineering build at 4.4 seconds and 12.8 seconds at 116.8 mph in the quarter-mile, the quickest figures recorded for the nameplate. Production examples from the early years typically clustered closer to the mid-six-second range, establishing the baseline for the model’s first performance era.
The major change came with the 2022-on ZD8 second generation and its FA24D 2.4-liter flat-four, raising output to 228 hp while retaining a naturally aspirated gasoline layout. Across nine tests, ZD8 cars average 5.89 seconds to 60 mph, showing a measurable step forward over the earlier cars. Specific anchors include the 2022 Premium at 6.0 seconds, the 2022 Limited at 5.5 seconds, and the current-generation best, the 2023 Limited at 5.4 seconds. As it stands today, the BRZ remains a single-powertrain model with no hybrid or electric variants, and its recent results place it consistently in the mid-five-second range for 0-60 performance.

How we verify Subaru BRZ performance data
Records and averages on this page cover verified production runs only; modified and prototype results are listed by year but never folded into them. We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Subaru BRZ trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.
