Yellow, mate: Subaru BRZ tS Kiiro edition arrives in Australia
Following its appearance in New Zealand, the special edition BRZ tS Kiiro gets a run in Australia priced from $53,590 BOCs.
The limited-edition Subaru BRZ tS Kiiro has been officially confirmed for Australia after images of the bright-yellow model surfaced throughout the week.
In social media posts by multiple dealers, the specifics of the BRZ tS Kiiro edition have been revealed, and Subaru Australia has now confirmed details in a new release.
The new special edition follows in the footsteps of New Zealand’s BRZ tS Kiiro edition, and will be priced from $53,590 before on-road costs in manual or automatic form.
The limited-run model features exclusive Sunrise Yellow paint and features the Japanese kanji script for yellow on the bootlid, among its matte-black badging.

Other Kiiro features include matte-black 18-inch alloy wheels, leather and Ultrasuede seat trim with yellow perforations, yellow contrast stitching on the steering wheel and gearshift boot, and an individually-numbered interior Kiiro badge.
The BRZ tS Kiiro will be limited to 95 units in Australia, with 10 units offered in New Zealand as part of a global production run of 350 cars.
Mechanically, the BRZ tS Kiiro matches the regular BRZ tS with STI-tuned suspension, a front strut brace, and Brembo brakes.

The Kiiro edition also shares the black mirrors and black sharkfin antenna from the regular BRZ tS.
Power from the 2.4-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder boxer engine is the same as other BRZ variants, with 174kW of power at 7000rpm and 250Nm of torque at 3700rpm.
New Zealand customers also get a numbered keybox and engraved keyring, but there’s no word on whether Australian-delivered Kiiros will get the same treatment.

The regular BRZ tS offers a choice of manual or automatic transmission in Australia, with the Kiiro edition for Australia offering a choice of manual or automatic, while NZ tS Kiiro is manual only.
For reference, the Kiiro sits $800 upstream of the tS grade upon which it is based.
