The new Toyota GR86 is a rear-wheel-drive sports coupe built by Toyota GAZOO Racing with a 2.4-liter naturally aspirated boxer engine rated at 228 horsepower, a low center of gravity and a choice of six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission. It seats four, comes with Toyota Safety Sense on automatic models and is one of the most affordable ways to own a true driver's car. If you want balance and feedback over brute force, this is it.

What Makes the GR86 Fun to Drive?
Light weight, rear-wheel drive and a flat-four engine mounted low in the chassis. That combination gives the GR86 quick, natural steering and a playful balance you can feel on the first on-ramp. The 2.4-liter boxer produces 228 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque, with peak torque arriving low enough to make the car lively around town, not just at the track.
Picture an early morning run through the Palos Verdes hills. The GR86 is built for exactly that kind of road.
Should You Choose the Manual or the Automatic?
This is the big decision for most GR86 buyers:
- Six-speed manual: short throws, a mechanical feel and the most engaging version of the car
- Six-speed automatic: paddle shifters, Sport mode and Toyota Safety Sense driver-assist features for easier daily use
If you are shopping a specific car, the transmission is listed on the vehicle detail page. Manual cars tend to move quickly, so if you see one you want, contact us with the stock number right away.
Which GR86 Grade Should You Compare?
The GR86 is offered in base and Premium grades, with special editions appearing from time to time. The base car gives you the complete driving experience with 17-inch wheels and a Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen. The Premium adds 18-inch wheels, Ultrasuede and leather-trimmed heated seats, a rear duckbill spoiler and an upgraded audio system. Confirm the grade and any limited-edition content on the listing before you decide.
How Does the GR86 Compare With the GR Corolla?
Both wear the GR badge, but they take different approaches. The GR86 is a rear-wheel-drive coupe that rewards smooth inputs and clean lines through a corner. The GR Corolla is a turbocharged, all-wheel-drive hatchback with 300 horsepower, five doors and more practicality. If you want the purest sports car feel, choose the GR86. If you need back-seat space and all-weather grip with serious power, compare the GR Corolla.
