The Subaru BRZ is a two-door sports car made in Japan. Sports cars tend to draw a wider spread of insurance prices than family cars, and the BRZ is no exception. This page covers list price, COE, road tax and insurance.
The insurance figures are examples for one stated driver, as of 1 November 2026. They show the range, not your premium.
The BRZ on the new-car list
The new-car list read on 2026-10-10 shows the BRZ as a sports body type. It lists one version at two prices:
- BRZ 2.4 EyeSight: petrol, 2,387cc, 231bhp, listed at S$271,800
- BRZ 2.4 EyeSight: petrol, 2,387cc, 231bhp, listed at S$276,800
Both prices are as listed on 2026-10-10 and included COE that day. The two entries may differ in trim or options. Ask the dealer what separates them, and for a current figure.
The Subaru BRZ price page prices the 2.4 EyeSight, the version most of our insurers quote.
COE
The price page places the BRZ's 2,387cc engine above 1,600cc. That means a Category B COE, which closed at S$131,901 in the October 2026 2nd round.
The COE page has the latest round. Dealers usually update list prices after each round.
Road tax
LTA's formula gives the 2,387cc engine S$1,666.06 a year before any surcharge.
After ten years:
- Over 10 years: +10%
- Over 11 years: +20%
- Over 12 years: +30%
- Over 13 years: +40%
- Over 14 years: +50%
The road tax page shows the formula for other engines.
Insurance: a very wide spread
The price page prices:
- Car: BRZ 2.4 EyeSight, registered 3 years ago, private use, comprehensive cover
- Driver: aged 40, married, office job, 10 years of driving
- Record: 50% NCD, no claims
- Workshop: authorised, no options
8 insurers price it online. The lowest premium is S$1,195.53 a year. The insurer whose lowest plan costs most asks at least S$3,320.39. That is S$2,124.86 more, or 178% on top. The dearest plan on the page is S$4,742.69. Prices include 9% GST.
A gap that wide is unusual. It shows how differently insurers can rate a sports car.
Excess and premium together
The lowest premium carries a S$600 excess. The second, at S$1,225.76, carries S$3,000. The third, at S$1,310.79, carries S$2,500. The fourth, at S$1,323.71, carries S$500. The three dearest plans carry S$300. So among the lower prices, the excess swings from S$500 to S$3,000.
What changes the price
The lowest price for each change:
- No NCD (0%): S$2,337.17, S$1,141.64 more
- 20% NCD: S$1,870.88, S$675.35 more
- Driver aged 27, 3 years' driving, 30% NCD: S$1,797.78, S$602.25 more
- Driver aged 65, 20 years' driving: S$1,225.76, S$30.23 more
- New car this year: S$1,231.50, S$35.97 more
- Car 8 years old: S$1,137.96, S$57.57 less
Here the biggest jump comes from losing NCD, at 95% more. The young driver adds less than that, which is not the usual pattern. For both the young and older driver, a different insurer has the lowest price.
Why a sports car prices this way
On this page the order of insurers changes from one driver to the next. For the page's driver, one insurer is lowest. For a younger or older driver, another takes its place. Some insurers appear to price the BRZ close to a normal car. Others price it far higher. That is why one renewal notice tells you little on its own. Comparing the whole list matters more for a car like this than for a family saloon.
Against six cars
The price page compares the BRZ with six cars of similar engine size, same driver and car age:
- Alfa Romeo 159: S$1,028.09
- Toyota Camry: S$872.39
- Toyota Alphard: S$832.53
- Mitsubishi Outlander: S$783.81
- Toyota Vellfire: S$763.00
- Honda Odyssey: S$763.00
Their average lowest price is S$840.47. The BRZ costs 42% more, and all 6 are cheaper to insure on these details. Most of them are family cars, which helps explain the gap. Other Subaru models are on the Subaru car insurance page.
What to check on a BRZ quote
- The excess: a S$3,000 excess sits on the second-lowest premium. Picture paying it after a claim.
- Named drivers: name everyone who drives the car, as the insurer with the lowest price changes with the driver.
- Modifications: tell the insurer about any change to the car. An undeclared change can affect a claim.
- Workshop: authorised workshops are assumed here.
- Estimates: confirm any estimated figure with your details.
Owner-dependent costs
- Parking: season parking, plus the height of ramps and kerbs in car parks you use.
- Petrol: set by distance and pump prices.
- ERP: depends on routes and timing.
- Servicing and tyres: follow the maker's schedule. Ask what the warranty covers.
- Depreciation: what you pay now against the value later.
