History/Overview
The car that started out as the Scion FR-S in 2013 and was renamed the Toyota 86 in 2017 is now called the GR86. The new letters stand for Gazoo Racing, the name of the motorsports engineering team that builds the brand’s race cars.
What’s New/Key Changes From Last Year
The 2022 GR86 marks the arrival of the second generation of Toyota’s entry-level sporty coupe. Along with its new styling and interior, the GR86’s engine is larger and more powerful than its predecessor’s.
Available Trims
Toyota offers the GR86 in base and Premium trims. Both use the 2.4L engine and come standard with a six-speed automatic transmission and can be optioned with a six-speed automatic.
Standard Features
The base GR86’s key standard features include 17-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, heated side mirrors, a 7.0-inch digital gauge display, dual-zone A/C, passive keyless entry, and a six-speaker stereo.
Premium trim’s additions are 18-inch wheels with performance tires, a rear spoiler, eight-speaker audio, leather/Alcantara upholstery, heated front seats, aluminum pedals, blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and adaptive headlights.
In both trims, the automatic transmission comes bundled with a suite of driver safety assists comprising forward collision warning with automatic braking, radar cruise control, lane departure/sway warning, and lead vehicle start alert. Premium trim cars with the automatic also get automatic high beams.
Fuel Economy
Toyota’s fuel consumption estimates are 11.1/7.7 L/100 km (city/highway).
Competition
The affordable sporty car segment is not rife with choice as we write this, with the GR86’s closest competition being the Mazda MX-5, and entry-grade versions of the Chevrolet Camaro and Ford Mustang. Soon, however, you’ll be able to count the Nissan 400Z as another potential competitive choice.
