2024 Toyota GR86

Price Range: $29,300 - $35,820

Great

The 2024 GR86 is a back-to-basics sports car in the best way. It's fun to drive whether you're a novice driver or a seasoned pro. It's also reasonably priced and somewhat practical. The GR86 can be a bit noisy and stiff-riding at times, but those downsides are easy to live with considering all of the car's other outstanding attributes.Read full review

Overview

Written by automotive expert Jared Gall

3/9/2026

Elemental motoring at its best, the Toyota GR86 is a throwback to a simpler time when lightweight, affordable cars generated big thrills. It's compact, agile, quick — but most of all it's fun with a big capital F. Technically, the GR86 has a back seat, but it's so small it's really more of a cargo divider. Toyota developed the coupe in cooperation with Subaru, which is why it has a flat-four engine, a type you're most likely to find in a Subaru. And the front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout is typically reserved for much pricier, faster cars. You can spend more money and get a lot more speed, but few vehicles on sale today are as engaging and enjoyable as the Toyota GR86.

Edmunds spotlight: Not that NASA

All buyers of a new 2024 Toyota GR86 get a complimentary one-year NASA membership. That's NASA as in the National Auto Sport Association, not the brainiacs with the rockets. This NASA hosts amateur racing and track days around the country, and included in GR86 buyers' membership is free admission to one High Performance Driving Event (HPDE). Depending on the track hosting a given HPDE, the financial value of that benefit varies from a couple hundred bucks to $500 or more. But the experiential value is the same everywhere. The GR86 is a sports car, and NASA will help you to appreciate it and give you a safe environment to explore its capabilities.

Competitors to consider

The related Subaru BRZ differs primarily from the GR86 in its subtle styling differences and slightly softer suspension tuning. Picking one mostly comes down to personal preference. Otherwise, you might check out the redesigned Ford Mustang, the Mazda Miata or possibly the Nissan Z. Read our Expert Rating below to learn more about what makes the GR86 so great.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

Driven, tested, rated by automotive expert Kurt Niebuhr

Great

8.2

out of 10

We drove the 2024 Toyota GR86 on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Performance

9/10

How does the GR86 drive? The best part of the GR86 is its sublime handling. The steering feel is excellent, and when the GR86 is equipped with the optional high-performance summer tires, grip and confidence are equally impressive. Balance is exceptional as well, but the GR86's somewhat stiffly tuned suspension makes it a bit of a handful on bumpy roads. As for stopping power, our test GR86 stopped from 60 mph in just 104 feet, which is a respectably short distance for a low-priced performance car.

At the Edmunds test track, a manual-equipped GR86 accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in 6 seconds flat, which is respectably quick for this type of car. The shifter feels positive and precise in your hand as you move through the gates, and the pedals are well placed for heel-and-toe downshift rev-matching. The clutch pedal is light and has an easy-to-find catch point. Opting for the automatic transmission results in slower acceleration (6.9 seconds), but it's easier to live with in heavy traffic. It also comes with paddle shifters and provides quick downshifts when you select Track mode.

Comfort

7.5/10

How comfortable is the GR86? Toyota has given the GR86 slightly stiffer suspension tuning than the related Subaru BRZ. Of the two setups, we prefer the BRZ's. The GR86 might feel more exciting at lower speeds, but the constant motion and jittering can start to wear on the driver after an hour or so.

The manually adjustable seats feature improved bolstering for your upper back and manage to hold you in place without being restrictive. Dual-zone climate control for such a small car seems like overkill, but it does the job and keeps both front passengers happy and comfortable.

Unfortunately, the GR86 is a bit on the noisy side. Road and tire noise is near constant and very loud. And engine noise is more annoying than evocative.

Interior

8.5/10

How’s the interior? The interior of the GR86 lets you focus on what matters most: driving. The low, unobtrusive dashboard aids in forward visibility, and the digital instrument panel can be read with a quick glance. Special mention should go to the GR86's small steering wheel, which allows taller drivers to enter and exit the little coupe without issue. Just remember that the GR86's lower ride height and longer doors can make getting in and out a bit more difficult than more practical performance cars such as the Volkswagen GTI.

The GR86's compact dimensions don't give it an abundance of interior room, but front passengers will find it more than comfortable, especially if they're on the taller side. Taller drivers will also appreciate the added space and room for adjustment, especially when compared to the much more cramped Miata. The rear seats, however, are better used as interior storage space than for passengers.

Build & Price

Buying Tips for the 2024 Toyota GR86 for March

Here are some practical tips to help you get the best deal on a 2024 Toyota GR86:

Buyers are typically paying around 10% less than the MSRP on the 2024 GR86. This is a significant saving of about $3,000 to $3,600 across different trim levels, so be sure to use this knowledge during your negotiations.
The TRUENO Edition trim of the GR86 offers the highest savings, with a potential discount of around $3,667 off its MSRP. This makes it a great option if you’re looking for the best bang for your buck.
There’s low new inventory for the Toyota GR86 with only 5 vehicles available nationwide, so if you find one available, you may want to act quickly. This limited supply could mean less flexibility in negotiating the price.
The used Toyota GR86 is selling fairly quickly, with most cars staying on lots for about 17 to 35 days. The lowest displayed dealer price for a used GR86 is around $26,297, indicating that some good deals are available, but be prepared to move swiftly since these cars are selling faster than the average used vehicle.

Technology

7.5/10

How’s the tech? The GR86 comes with a decent number of technology features. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone compatibility is standard, but there's no native navigation system. There are two quick-charging USB ports in the center armrest, allowing you to tuck your smartphone out of the way while driving. The center touchscreen's graphics aren't going to win any awards, but the system is easy to understand and responds relatively quickly to touch commands.

Far less impressive is the audio system. While that's likely not a priority for a sports car, the system can't really keep up with interior noise levels and is easily taxed by moderate volume. We think there's room for improvement here.

The GR86 comes standard with a decent number of advanced driver aids such as adaptive cruise control and lane departure warning. Furthermore, the GR86's traction and stability systems are well calibrated for daily driving. You can also engage the Track mode, which loosens the systems so you can have more dynamic control of the car. Or you can turn them off completely.

Storage

8/10

How’s the storage? You might not think practicality was a consideration with the GR86, but it is surprisingly useful for weekly errands. Its relatively small 6.3 cubic feet of trunk space is hampered by its short height. But when the seats are folded, Toyota says the GR86 can hold a set of its own replacement wheels and tires. For reference, the Miata's trunk can swallow 4.3 cubes, while the substantially larger Mustang holds 13.3 cubes.

Inside, the GR86 offers a small but practical amount of storage. The cupholders reside well behind the driver's right arm, so you're never at risk of bumping them while driving, and the rear seats excel at holding bags, jackets and other items you don't want rolling around in the trunk. The rear seats do have child safety seat anchor points, but getting any reasonably sized safety seat in and out of the car is a major challenge.

Continue reading Edmunds Expert Rating below

Fuel Economy

8/10

How’s the fuel economy? Thanks to its light weight and relatively small engine, the GR86 is capable of decent fuel economy for a sports car. The EPA estimates the car gets 25 mpg combined with its automatic transmission. We were pleasantly surprised to see 28 mpg on our real-world evaluation route. If you select the manual transmission, the EPA's estimate drops to 22 mpg combined; we got 23 mpg on the same route with our manual-equipped test car. Either way, it's fair to assume the EPA's numbers are realistic.

Value

8/10

Is the GR86 a good value? The GR86 is a bargain considering how much fun it is to drive. While we wouldn't go so far as to call the interior premium, it is well put together and the car feels good and solid. To get a similar amount of equipment and optional extras, most competitors would cost thousands more. Warranties for the GR86 are fairly standard, with three years/36,000 miles and five years/50,000 miles offered for bumper-to-bumper and powertrain warranties. Toyota also includes three years/36,000 miles for roadside assistance and two years for free maintenance.

Wildcard

9/10

The GR86 strikes a great balance between cost and performance and opens up fun-to-drive rear-wheel-drive dynamics to a much wider audience. But don't let the lower price make you think the GR86 isn't a serious performance car. Even experienced drivers will enjoy getting the most out of this little sports car every day.

2024 Toyota GR86 trim level differences

The 2024 Toyota GR86 is a four-seat two-door sports car available in three trim levels: Base, Premium and Trueno Edition. A 2.4-liter horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine (228 horsepower, 184 lb-ft) powers the rear wheels through your choice of a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission. Compare the 2024 Toyota GR86 trim levels in-depth.

Which GR86 trim does Edmunds recommend?

For a relatively small upcharge, the Premium trim package nets some meaningful upgrades regardless of your GR86's intended use: 18-inch wheels with performance tires instead of the base trim's 17s and all-seasons, leather and synthetic suede upholstery, and heated seats. Plus, its color-matched duckbill spoiler adds a nice touch of flair.

Toyota GR86 vs. Subaru BRZ

Subaru tuned the BRZ's suspension to be slightly softer than the GR86's, but it takes careful attention and a well-calibrated inner ear to feel the subtle differences between these two platform-mates. We like the BRZ's more compliant ride better and find the softer tune also makes the BRZ's handling ever-so-slightly more playful than the GR86's. See what daily life is like with a Subaru BRZ in our long-term road test.

Toyota GR86 vs. Mazda MX-5 Miata

Fixed-roof coupe or convertible? That's what the decision between these two is likely to come down to. Few other cars at any price are as fun. If connotations of the Miata name threaten your masculinity, note that Mazda claims its little roadster is the most raced car in the world. It's a difficult claim to fact-check, but few who spend their weekends in a racetrack paddock will dispute it. We never turned our long-term test car into a track rat, but we sure enjoyed it on the road.

Compare Toyota GR86 & Mazda MX-5 Miata features

Toyota GR86 vs. Nissan Z

The Nissan Z is a few inches longer, several hundred pounds heavier, and almost twice as powerful as the GR86. It's also about a third more expensive. If it's speed you're looking for, you'll find it in the Z, but that's not necessarily important. You can drive a GR86 just about flat out on a public road without breaking any laws. Faster? No. More fun? Absolutely.
