Is the BRZ 2 or 4 seater?

The BRZ is a 2+2 sports coupe: two full-size seats in front and two smaller rear seats, giving a four-seat designation on paper while offering limited rear-seat practicality.


As of the current model years, the BRZ remains marketed as a four-seat vehicle, but the rear seats are compact and best suited for children or for occasional passengers. This distinction matters for buyers who need genuine back-seat comfort or frequent adult seating.


Seat layout and practicality


The BRZ’s interior is designed around a driver-first, sporty cockpit, with a two-abreast front row and a compact rear bench. The following points summarize how the seating works in everyday use.



  • Two front seats: spacious, supportive, and comfortable for daily driving or longer trips for the driver and passenger.

  • Two rear seats: a small bench designed to accommodate two occupants, but with very limited legroom and headroom; adults will likely feel cramped on longer rides.

  • Rear-seat versatility: the rear seatbacks typically fold down to expand cargo space, which helps offset the small rear cabin for certain trips.

  • Overall seating capacity: officially four seats on paper, but the rear seats are best used by children or for short-distance, occasional use for adults.


In short, the BRZ is a 2+2 configuration: it has four seating positions, but the rear seats are not a practical option for most adult passengers on longer journeys.


Summary


The BRZ is a four-seat vehicle in designation (2+2), yet its rear seats are compact and best suited for children or brief trips. For frequent adult back-seat passengers or genuine four-seat practicality, buyers may prefer other options or the related GR86/BRZ models with more interior space.

How many seaters is a Subaru BRZ?


The Subaru BRZ has two rows of seats with a total capacity of four people, but the rear seats are very small and not suitable for adults on longer trips. The rear seats are best used for children or for folding down to expand cargo space.
 

  • Front seats: There are two seats in the front. While the base models have cloth seats, higher trims may offer leather and Ultrasuede with heating. 
  • Rear seats: The two rear seats are extremely compact and are only truly practical for small children or very short trips with adults. 
  • Cargo space: The rear seats can be folded down to significantly increase the trunk's cargo capacity, which makes the BRZ more practical for carrying luggage for two people.
