2022 Subaru BRZ vs 2022 BMW 2-Series Comparison.

Prioritizing affordability and lightweight agility over high horsepower and high-priced exclusivity, the 2022 Subaru BRZ continues to be a pure sports car for everyone. The completely redesigned rear-drive-only coupe remains a unique entry in Subaru's otherwise all-wheel-drive lineup. The same is in store for its mechanical twin, the Toyota 86. With a 228-hp naturally aspirated flat-four, the BRZ is more powerful than before, which at least partly addresses one our biggest complaints. Combine that with a lower center of gravity as well as a feathery curb weight and this assertively styled 2+2 hatchback is set up to deliver the seat-of-your-pants feeling that defines all great sports cars. With a new interior design that brings modern tech but preserves its predecessor's practicality, the 2022 BRZ is prepared to take on the king of affordable sports cars, Mazda MX-5 Miata.

What's New for 2022?

The 2022 BRZ introduces the second generation of Subaru's lightweight sports cars. Not only does the coupe sit about 0.5 inch lower and span about 1 inch longer, its bodywork is more distinguished than before. Its interior is reimagined with more technology without sacrificing practicality. Driving enthusiasts will also welcome a new 2.4-liter flat-four-cylinder engine that's more powerful than the 2.0-liter version it replaces.

Driving enthusiasts can rejoice at BMW's decision to still build the next-generation 2-series coupe on a rear-drive platform. Along with an available xDrive all-wheel-drive system, the two-door Bimmer will be offered with two turbocharged engine options: a 2.0-liter four-cylinder (230i models) and a 3.0-liter straight-six (M240i). While the convertible body style is being discontinued, we can only hope the same fate doesn't befall the manual transmission. If the new BMW M3 sedan and M4 coupe are any indication, a stick-shift 2-series seems likely. Apart from leaked photos of its modern rear end and official images of a heavily camouflaged model, we don't know what the coupe's exterior or interior will look like. Those details and more will have to wait until later this year when the 2022 BMW 230i and M240i coupe are officially revealed.

What's New for 2022?

The 2022 BMW 2-series will mark an all-new generation for one of the German automaker's most entertaining models. While we're happy to report it will still come standard with rear-wheel drive, a drop-top option is being dropped and a manual transmission hasn't been confirmed. Thankfully, the even racier M2 coupe will also return.
