The 2022 Subaru BRZ gets a new instrument cluster layout that's in the shape of the flat-four engine under the hood. Its likely on the GR86 as well but with some minor changes. I think its a cool tribute especially since this time around we get more power and torque than originally expected.

The gauges are also configurable.

Good eye 👁 Didn’t notice that. Makes a lot of sense especially with the 86’s logo. Hope when you start the 86’s engine it could show its boxer logo first as a welcome sign.

Yeah it would be cool to see other boxer engine influenced design elements throughout.
But from the pics so far its just the instrument cluster.

 

[ae86ron]

I’m hoping the new 86 could include some other boxer engine influenced design elements like interior door handles, badge stitching on the seats, heads up display layout, rear view mirror shape, knobs and switches, key shape.

That's quite the easter egg I didn't notice that either. It works really well for the instrument cluster layout.

What I like about the new dash is that its simple and based around 3 colors, red, white and black, and its integrated all the components logically and well proportioned!

Simple always ages well, as does high contrast limited color palettes.

I think this subdued transition to all digital has been done very well, and is extremely easy to screw up because there are so many things you can do when you decide to go with all LCD.

My criticism is that I don't particularly like the 'dyno' chart being in there (even though it looks nice) and would of preferred a different meter like airflow from the MAF sensor, or something else that's not a fixed graph that will only ever indicate the base cars performance at a given rev. That said, I'm very pleased that I don't have to have that on any of my displays if I don't want to - user customisation is a good thing!

Good point.

Anything you hope to see them include in an STi version?
Being digital, I bet they can do something a bit cooler than usual, if the hardware allows.

Perhaps they will add some pink?

Right now the dash follows the Toyota brand colors, so perhaps a pink trailing taco?

It would've been such a miss if they went with a digitial screen and didn't allow us to change certain things.

Something that takes from the 2021 WRX STi instrument cluster would be great...

That's a cool bit of attention to detail! I just love that they've put an oil temp gauge on there which I think should be mandatory for any sort of performance car.

Welcome @VeeFource!
I agree and love how we get some numbers rather than 'H' on one side and 'C' on the other. Anything else you think Toyota/Subaru should include that's not seen here or in any other official photos?

Getting the specific temperature really is a nice touch for Toyota/Subaru to add. Especially as people eventually start adding mods.

I'm hoping this makes it easier to do some aftermarket OBD hack.

 

[HODOR]

The new instrument cluster design looks awesome. Also the mods are cool.

I strongly agree. They got it right with the Boxer engine layout. Hope the 86’s new instrument cluster will be amazing too, and be different from the BRZ’s.

Yeah, now what's left is wondering how it'll look in the GR86. I hope its nothing more than different font, colors, etc.

Its doubtful that it would be any different, perhaps the start-up animation..?

Possible..or probably have something as amazing as Lexus F Sport’s motorized gauge cluster design, in a Boxer style configuration..that’s what I’m hoping for.

 

[Blighty]

I did see a new start-up animation
