The 2026 Subaru BRZ Coupe S Auto is a lightweight, rear-wheel-drive sports car built for driving enthusiasts who prioritise handling and engagement over practicality, with its 1282kg kerb weight and 2.4-litre engine delivering 174kW and 250Nm through an eight-speed automatic. The standout strength is its agile chassis and balanced weight distribution, combined with respectable fuel economy of 8.8L/100km that keeps annual running costs around $3432, making it genuinely affordable to own and drive daily. One consideration: the 4-star ANCAP safety rating and modest 284-litre boot mean you'll want to prioritise modern safety features and accept limited storage for longer trips.
Configure the Coupe S AutoThe 2026 Subaru BRZ Coupe S Manual is a lightweight, rear-wheel-drive sports car built for driving enthusiasts who value handling and engagement over practicality, weighing just 1278kg with a 2.4-litre naturally aspirated engine producing 174kW and 250Nm. Its standout strength is the chassis dynamics and manual transmission combination-genuinely fun on twisty roads-though the 4-star ANCAP safety rating is worth noting if collision protection is a priority alongside performance. Running costs of around $3653 annually are reasonable for a petrol sports car, though the 284-litre boot limits luggage capacity for longer trips.
Configure the Coupe S ManualThe 2026 Subaru BRZ tS is a lightweight rear-wheel-drive sports coupe delivering 174kW from its 2.4-litre boxer engine, making it ideal for drivers who prioritise engaging, mechanical driving over outright performance. Its standout strength is the combination of a featherweight 1280kg kerb weight with a slick manual gearbox, offering genuine driver involvement that's increasingly rare in modern sports cars. One consideration: the 4-star ANCAP safety rating is respectable but trails some competitors, so safety-conscious buyers should weigh this against its thrilling on-road characteristics.
Configure the Coupe tS ManualThe 2026 Subaru BRZ Coupe tS Auto is a lightweight, rear-wheel-drive sports car that delivers genuine driving engagement for enthusiasts seeking affordable fun rather than outright performance. Its standout strength is the combination of a nimble 1284kg kerb weight with a responsive 2.4-litre boxer engine producing 174kW and 250Nm, resulting in sharp handling dynamics and an enjoyable 8.8L/100km fuel economy. One consideration is the modest 4-star ANCAP safety rating-while acceptable, it trails newer competitors-so safety-conscious buyers should factor this into their decision-making.
Configure the Coupe tS AutoThe entry-grade BRZ Coupe manual brings the same 2.4L naturally aspirated boxer (174kW/250Nm) and rear-wheel-drive coupe thrills as the S, with a 6-speed manual and a sharper price. It trades some of the S grade equipment for value, keeping the pure driving focus intact.
Configure the Coupe ManualThe entry-grade BRZ Coupe with the 6-speed automatic offers the same 174kW 2.4L boxer and rear-drive coupe character as the S, paired with paddle-shift convenience. It is the most affordable way into a BRZ in Australia.

Honda Australia reopens Civic Type R order books today at midday with just 98 cars for the entire country at $85,000 driveaway, the same figure as the February batch but without the carbon-fibre rear wing that ran as a $5,300 option and then a standard fitment on earlier allocations. A $5,000 refundable deposit locks a build slot, first customer deliveries in December 2026. Mechanicals unchanged: 235kW/420Nm 2.0L VTEC turbo, six-speed manual with rev-matching, helical LSD, front-wheel drive. Honda has been running roughly 80 Type R deliveries a month and the August 2025 batch cleared inside an hour, so 98 cars is a rounding error against national demand. Cross-shop against the Toyota GR Yaris GTS Aero at ~$72k driveaway, Hyundai i30 N Premium at ~$58k, VW Golf R at ~$77k and Subaru WRX tS at ~$63k. ANCAP not yet rated on the FL5 body.

Subaru Australia drops pricing for the new seventh-gen Outback. Range opens at $48,990 for the 2.5L AWD, the off-road Wilderness lands at $59,690 and Wilderness Apex at $62,690 before on-roads. Turbo 2.4L boxer making 194kW/382Nm returns under the Wilderness pair, with 240mm clearance, ZF adaptive dampers, ACT-4 AWD and a 2,100kg braked tow rating. ANCAP not yet rated. Customer deliveries Q2 2026.

Subaru's smallest, cheapest EV opens for orders from $59,990 before on-roads. Single dual-motor AWD spec, 255kW, 0-100 ~5.0s, 74.7kWh battery, 522km WLTP range, 150kW DC charging and V2L. Deliveries mid-2026.
