2019 Subaru BRZ vs. 2020 Toyota 86
Even without the tS trim level, the 2019 Subaru BRZ still impresses after including a limited edition Series Gray as part of its list of offerings. On top of that, it also offers cozy seats that can accommodate up to four passengers, instead of the usual two for a sports car.
When it comes to the 2020 Toyota 86, expect that Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are now standard for its technology features. It also debuts its Hakone Edition, and offers an optional Handling package.
Design & Style
The 2019 Subaru BRZ combines a level of sportiness with its modern qualities on the exterior. Its well-designed body has the toughness that you want to define solid construction. Inside the car, you will find the well-bolstered front seats adding comfort to passengers. The no-nonsense layout of the cabin gives passengers a reason to love this car even more.
When it comes to the Toyota 86, you will find a total of four seats in the cabin. There are standard front sport seats which have also been well-bolstered supposedly to provide comfort. Once you experience the ride, you will find out that it can only hold two people, and that the seats are not comfortable enough during long rides. The hard plastic surfaces in the cabin is a letdown as well.
Technology & Safety
The 2019 Subaru BRZ gets plenty of praises for its technologies. Since it upgraded its infotainment system display, the car gives you a better experience navigating the road, while also getting the hang of all functionalities that it has been equipped with. There is also a Bluetooth interface and integrated support both for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. It also has a rearview camera.
While the 2020 Toyota 86 includes a seven-inch touch screen display in its infotainment interface, it is noticeable that it does not really have that same vibe that you are looking for in a modern technology. It does not respond as expected as well. The rearview camera is the only feature that you can count on in this ride.
Performance
The 2019 Subaru BRZ pairs a six-speed manual transmission with its four-cylinder engine. As a result, it yield up to 205 horsepower. The same numbers go for the 2020 Toyota 86. When it comes to fuel efficiency, both are tied at 24mpg for city driving and 32mpg for highway driving.
The Bottom Line
The 2019 Subaru BRZ has many characteristics that are deserving of praises and commendations. It defeats the 2020 Toyota 86 in a lot of aspects, especially when speaking of technologies. This car has been designed with carefully chosen materials too.
