In the automotive world, the two-door sports car segment is often considered an “exclusive playground” that not everyone can easily enter. The passion for speed, pure driving sensation, and bold design make these vehicles irresistibly appealing, yet they come with a price tag that’s far from affordable.

However, when comparing the Subaru BRZ—a Japanese sports coupe officially distributed in Vietnam—to a popular alternative like the Ford Mustang, many are surprised to find that owning a BRZ in Vietnam is more affordable than expected.
In the U.S., Subaru recently updated the BRZ for 2026. The previous standard Premium trim has been discontinued, raising the starting price to $35,860 (approximately 947 million VND). Opting for an automatic transmission adds $850, bringing the price to nearly $36,710 (970 million VND). Compared to the Ford Mustang in the U.S., the Subaru BRZ’s starting price is about $4,000 (105 million VND) higher.

Conversely, in Vietnam, the Subaru BRZ is priced at roughly half the cost of its American sports car counterpart. The manual transmission BRZ starts at 1.459 billion VND, while the automatic version is 1.549 billion VND. Although these prices are higher than their U.S. counterparts, they are significantly lower than the nearly 3 billion VND price tag of privately imported Mustangs.
Additionally, since the BRZ is officially distributed, customers benefit from full warranty services, maintenance, and readily available spare parts. In contrast, privately imported Mustangs rely entirely on small-scale importers.

The BRZ is a compact two-door coupe, measuring 4,265 mm in length and 1,775 mm in width. Its exterior design is not overly elaborate but exudes a sporty vibe with LED headlights, 18-inch multi-spoke wheels, and a standout dual exhaust system at the rear.
The BRZ’s cabin is minimalist yet distinctly sporty, featuring suede-wrapped seats with red stitching, a combination of analog gauges and a 7-inch screen behind the steering wheel, and an 8-inch center display supporting Apple CarPlay. The handbrake remains a traditional mechanical type.
The Subaru BRZ in Vietnam is powered by a 2.4L engine delivering 234 horsepower and 250 Nm of torque. It pairs with either a 6-speed manual or automatic transmission and features an AWD system.
