Just like its sibling, the Toyota GT86, the BRZ went through a facelift in 2016, four years after the model's introduction on the market.

With the updated version, Subaru tried to keep up with its competition. Apart from the car's exterior, the Japanese automaker tried to create an even better handling vehicle. Yet, even though the engine was more powerful, those five more extra ponies were far from being convincing. Still, for those who wanted an all-around vehicle, a daily sports car, the BRZ was a very suitable option.

The car's front was enhanced with the introduction of the C-shaped headlights that were brighter than those installed on the non-facelifted version, thanks to the new LED system. Moreover, the blinkers were incorporated inside the headlamps together with the daytime running lights. These were the first LED headlights for Subaru. The design team also created a new front bumper and flared front fenders. Finally, at the back, a body-colored aluminum spoiler was fitted as standard for the entire range. Last but not least, the lower ground clearance and the new 17" light-alloy wheels emphasized the car's sporty character.

Inside, Subaru offered an option for a 4.2" LCD placed on the right side of the tachometer. To further increase the sport designation of the car, the automaker installed a new steering wheel fitted with paddle shifters behind it for the Limited trim level version equipped with an automatic transmission. One of the most significant upgrades to the car's interior was the 6.2" Multimedia System that featured Subaru Starlink smartphone integration.

Under the hood, the revised flat-four engine provided 205 hp (208 PS), which were sent to the rear axle. All versions received a limited-slip differential.
