The NHTSA hasn't provided a safety review of the Subaru BRZ for this model year or the previous one, but the IIHS has put the sexy coupe through its paces and found it to be pretty darn good - all crash tests yielded top scores of Good and the authority rated the BRZ as a Top Safety Pick+ for 2022, but only when equipped with the EyeSight technology that comes as standard with the auto 'box.
NHTSA safety ratings are not available at this time.
Both cars have obligatory safety features, including seven airbags, LED lights, a rearview camera, ABS, tire pressure monitoring, and adaptive traction and stability control.
The Premium does not have any driver assistance features but the Limited at least adds blind-spot monitoring, lane keep assist, rear cross-traffic alert, and headlights that move with the steering wheel. The full EyeSight safety suite is only available on models equipped with an automatic transmission. It adds adaptive cruise control, pre-collision braking, lane departure intervention, sway warning, and lead vehicle start alert.

The BRZ was all-new last year, but it came with a relatively clean recall history, with the last model that was recalled being the 2019 version. All years subsequent to this are recall-free.
The BRZ will likely maintain Subaru's generic limited warranty of three years/36,000 miles, powertrain warranty of five years/50,000 miles, and general wear item warranty of three years/36,000 miles.
