JAKARTA - Subaru released BRZ STI Sport with a new trim to offer in its home country with almost the same feature as Subaru BRZ TS 2024 which debuted in North America in July.

The Japanese model is also equipped with 17-inch Brembo brakes with ventilation disks on the front and rear which are equipped with gold caps behind a dark 18-inch wheel wrapped in a 215/40 R18 high-performance tire.

Launching Motor1, September 22, Subaru upgraded the suspension by installing Hitachi Astemo's sensitive frequency response spring which has been muted by STI (Suluu Tecnica International) at the front, along with the rear spring which is also being adjusted by STI.

Another change, side mirror caps and black roof antennas, while the BRZ logo on the headlights is now equipped with a red touch of cherries. Inside, BRZ STI Sport has a chair wrapped in a red brown shirt, dark accent, and a red STI labeled start/stop button.

STI Sport's local debut is scheduled for September 24 at the FUJI 86/BRZ STYLE 2023 event which will be held at Fuji Speedway.

Not only STI Sport, all the Japanese version of the BRZ 2024 Subaru trim is offered with an EyeSight driver assistance system even on cars equipped with manual transmission. The Japanese model will also get an updated vehicle dynamics control system (VDC) and different tires for the R-base trim level.

There is no change under the engine hood where 2024 BRZ which is sold in Japan still uses a natural 2.4 liter boxer gasoline engine that sends power to the rear wheels.

Subaru Japan expects to sell 350 units per month at the lowest price starting at 3,762,000 yen or around Rp390 million while STI Sport is the most expensive among others, with a highest price of 3,817,000 yen or Rp395 million for automatic transmission.
