Subaru has unveiled the BRZ tS Kiiro Limited Edition, a striking new variant of its popular sports car that emphasizes the brand’s performance-focused DNA. With only 95 units allocated to Australia, this model is set to be one of the most exclusive BRZ editions available locally.
The Kiiro, based on the flagship tS variant, boasts a series of distinctive visual and trim enhancements, most notably its exclusive Sunrise Yellow exterior paint. Priced at $53,590 plus on-road costs, the vehicle offers both manual and automatic transmission options, catering to purists and everyday drivers alike.
Distinctive Features and Design
The BRZ tS Kiiro Limited Edition is named after the Japanese word for yellow, reflecting its unique color scheme. Key highlights include 18-inch matte black alloy wheels, Ultrasuede and leather-accented seat trim with black and yellow perforation, and yellow stitching on the leather steering wheel and shift boot. An interior ‘Kiiro’ badge with the limited edition number further sets it apart.
Externally, the model features a rear matte black ‘Kiiro’ badge. Like the rest of the 2026 BRZ range, it will soon be available for order from local dealerships, with updates to the Subaru Australia website expected in the coming weeks.
Comparative Pricing and Market Position
For context, the base BRZ Coupe is priced at $47,890, while its S sibling costs $49,190, both excluding on-road costs and regardless of transmission. The standard tS, the non-limited edition range topper, is priced at $52,790 plus on-roads. The Kiiro edition, therefore, represents a premium but offers unique features and exclusivity.
“BRZ continues to play a key role in Subaru’s performance story, defined by its engineering precision and authentic sports-car credentials,” Subaru Australia general manager Scott Lawrence stated. “The BRZ tS Kiiro builds on that foundation by expressing those qualities through distinctive visual and trim enhancements.”
Subaru’s Performance Legacy
The announcement comes as Subaru continues to solidify its reputation for producing affordable yet high-performance vehicles. The BRZ has long been a favorite among sports car enthusiasts, known for its agile handling and balanced design. The Kiiro Limited Edition further enhances this legacy, offering a unique blend of style and performance.
Subaru’s strategy of releasing limited edition models has proven successful in the past, drawing attention from collectors and enthusiasts who value exclusivity and unique design elements. The Kiiro is expected to follow this trend, appealing to those looking for a standout vehicle in the sports car segment.
Looking Forward
With the automotive industry rapidly evolving, Subaru’s focus on maintaining its performance heritage while introducing innovative designs is noteworthy. The BRZ tS Kiiro Limited Edition is a testament to the brand’s commitment to offering vehicles that not only perform well but also stand out visually.
As the Kiiro Limited Edition makes its way to dealerships, it will be interesting to observe its reception among Australian consumers. With its limited availability and unique features, the model is poised to become a coveted item for car enthusiasts and collectors alike.
Meanwhile, Subaru continues to innovate and expand its lineup, ensuring that it remains a key player in the competitive sports car market. The Kiiro Limited Edition is just one example of how the brand is adapting to meet the demands of modern drivers while staying true to its roots.
