You Won’t Believe What Subaru Just Did to the 2026 BRZ and WRX—Meet the Series.Yellow Special Edition
Subaru is adding a splash of sunshine to its performance lineup. For 2026, the BRZ and WRX are gaining a Series.Yellow special edition based on their respective tS trims. These limited editions celebrate Subaru’s sporty heritage with eye-catching styling and unique interior touches.
1. Series.Yellow: A Bold New Look
As the name suggests, both the BRZ and WRX Series.Yellow models feature Sunrise Yellow paint. The bright hue draws inspiration from previous special editions, including the 2015 XV Crosstrek Special Edition and Japan-only BRZ STI Sport and WRX STI S207 models. It’s a color that immediately sets these cars apart on the road.
2. Eye-Catching Interior Details
Inside, the WRX gets Recaro performance seats with yellow contrast stitching and yellow accents in the perforations. The BRZ also stands out with black upholstery paired with yellow stitching on the seats, steering wheel, shifter, and parking brake. These details give each cabin a sporty, premium feel.
3. Manual Transmission Only
Both Series.Yellow models are manual transmission exclusive, emphasizing the driver-focused experience. The rest of the performance metrics are identical to the tS trims, so these editions are as much about fun as they are about style.
4. 2026 Subaru BRZ Specs
The BRZ Series.Yellow continues with a 228-hp naturally aspirated 2.4-liter flat-four engine paired with a six-speed manual transmission. This setup offers precise handling and an engaging driving experience, perfect for enthusiasts who love a lightweight sports car.
5. 2026 Subaru WRX Specs
Meanwhile, the WRX Series.Yellow keeps its turbocharged 2.4-liter flat-four engine, rated at 271 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque, also mated to a six-speed manual. It balances raw power with everyday usability, making it ideal for both spirited drives and daily commutes.
6. Limited Production
Subaru is keeping these editions exclusive, with production capped at just 350 units per model. This ensures rarity and makes the Series.Yellow versions highly desirable for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
7. Pricing and Availability
Subaru has revealed pricing for the 2026 BRZ lineup:
- BRZ Series.Yellow tS: $40,555
- BRZ base manual: $37,055 (up $2,675 from last year)
- BRZ tS: $39,555 (up $2,525)
Final pricing for the WRX Series.Yellow will be announced closer to the on-sale date.
8. Official Reveal
The Series.Yellow editions were officially unveiled at Subaru’s Boxerfest in York, Pennsylvania, on September 14. Fans were treated to a close look at these bright, limited-edition performance cars.
9. Why the Series.Yellow Editions Stand Out
With striking yellow exteriors, unique interior accents, manual-only drivetrains, and limited production, the 2026 BRZ and WRX Series.Yellow models are designed for enthusiasts who value style, performance, and exclusivity.
