Too sexy! 2024 Subaru BRZ sports car gains tS grade, but the Toyota GR 86 twin also gets a price hike

A few visual flourishes headline the BRZ tS, like badging and a red logo.

Subaru has increased pricing on its BRZ sports car for 2024 as it adds the flagship tS grade to the expanded line-up.

Order books have opened for the 2024 BRZ and deliveries are expected to commence in January 2024.

Differentiating it from the standard BRZ and BRZ S are visual tweaks like tS badging at the front and rear, an integrated red BRZ logo in the front headlights, and crystal black silica door mirrors.

Inside, the BRZ tS gains bordeaux and black 'Ultrasuede' and leather-accented upholstery, STI-embossed front seats, an STI red start button and an exclusive instrument cluster with the STI logo.

The tS was part of the first-generation BRZ line-up from 2017 and the new version mirrors some of those performance tweaks.

As recently reported, manual versions of the BRZ now come with Subaru's EyeSight safety suite. Initially, only the automatic versions had the safety tech. The suite includes features like autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, pre-collision braking and lane departure warning.
