Today, Subaru of America announced pricing on the entire lineup of 2017 BRZ models, scheduled to arrive in dealer showrooms this September with, according to Subaru, "improved handling, increased performance, more aggressive styling and new convenience features."

Handling improvement are the result of updated coil springs and dampers and a larger rear stabilizer. Reinforcements to the chassis were added at critical points including the strut tower braces, transmission cross-member plate and rear wheel housings for improved rigidity. The BRZ's stability control software was also reprogrammed to raise system thresholds.

Under the hood, the 2.0-liter Boxer engine has received a number of internal updates including new valves, camshaft and cylinder heads. Along with a new aluminum intake manifold and redesigned exhaust manifold for better airflow, engine output in 6-speed manual models has been bumped to 205 hp and 156 lb.-ft. of torque – an increase of 5 hp and 5 lb.-ft. of torque over the 2016 model. The final drive ratio was lowered from 4.1 to 4.3:1, also on manually-equipped models, to improve acceleration.

Outside, the front bumper has been redesigned and positioned lower, resulting in better control, stability and aerodynamics. Above the bumper, the headlights are now "kono-ji" style LEDs with integrated Daytime Running Lights and incorporate both the turn signal and position lights. The optional fog lights are also LED units.

In back, both trim levels now come equipped with a body color- and black-finished aluminum rear spoiler, improving downforce, while the taillights have been updated to full-LED. Both Premium and Limited trims arrive with a revised garnish above the license plate and new 10-spoke, 17-in. aluminum alloy wheels.

Inside, Limited models receive a new 4.2-in LCD multifunction display to the right of the tachometer with a readout that can display lateral Gs, accelerator pedal position, braking force, steering angle, oil and water temperature, and battery voltage - plus an integrated stop watch for recording lap times. The new leather-wrapped steering wheel contains audio controls and multifunction display switches, while paddle shift control switches are standard with the optional automatic. Limited upgrades also include a wrapped meter visor, updated HVAC control panel and "BRZ" embroidered in red on the front seatbacks.
