Subaru of America, Inc. announced that the 2022 BRZ sport car was named a 2022 TOP SAFETY PICK+ by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). The 2022 BRZ achieved IIHSâs highest honor for the first time thanks to the addition of EyeSightÂź Driver Assist Technology as standard equipment on models with an automatic transmission. The 2022 BRZ joins six other Subaru models in receiving an IIHS award this year including:

Subaru Ascent (TSP for five consecutive years)*
Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid (TSP+ for four consecutive years)*
Subaru Legacy (TSP for 17 consecutive years)*

The 2022 BRZ received the highest possible rating for all crashworthiness and crash avoidance evaluations. Headlights on all models achieved the top rating for their performance. Models equipped with EyeSight Driver Assist Technology earned superior ratings in both the vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-pedestrian evaluations.
To earn a 2022 TOP SAFETY PICK or TOP SAFETY PICK+ award, vehicles must receive âGoodâ ratings in each of IIHSâs six crashworthiness evaluations; âGoodâ or âAcceptableâ headlight ratings, and available front crash prevention that achieves âAdvancedâ or âSuperiorâ ratings in both vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-pedestrian evaluations. The âPlusâ is awarded to models that come exclusively with âGoodâ or âAcceptableâ headlights.
âWe are thrilled the all-new BRZ received a TOP SAFETY PICK+ award right out of the gate,â said Thomas J. Doll, President and Chief Executive Officer, Subaru of America, Inc. âOur top priority with BRZ is to provide customers with an exciting and engaging sports car with the highest standards in safety.â
The 2022 BRZ is powered by a 2.4-liter (naturally aspirated) 228 hp SUBARU BOXERÂź engine paired with a six-speed close-ratio manual transmission or a six-speed electronic direct-control automatic transmission. For 2022, the BRZ is offered in two trim levels, Premium and Limited, and has a starting price of $27,995.
