2025 Subaru BRZ

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2025 BRZ.

Transmission Automatic (S6)

The 2025 Subaru BRZ arrives as the latest iteration of Subaru’s rear‑wheel‑drive sports coupe, carrying forward the platform and inline‑four engine that have defined the model since its debut. It is equipped with the six‑speed automatic (S6) transmission and posts EPA fuel‑economy figures of 21 mpg city, 30 mpg highway, and a combined 25 mpg, positioning it among the more efficient offerings in its segment. Across the 2013‑2024 span, the BRZ’s complaint record has trended downward, dropping from a peak of 63 complaints in its inaugural year to a low of just one in 2018, suggesting that the 2025 version benefits from a decade of incremental refinements and is situated at a point of mature reliability within the model’s history.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 6,000 mi; spark plugs every 60,000 mi; coolant every 6,000 mi. The big-interval services (every 6,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.
