Driver-Focused Interior with Smart Touches

The 2026 Toyota GR86 may be compact, but it’s designed with real-world comfort and function in mind.

From track-inspired displays to leather-trimmed touchpoints, the interior feels upscale and purposeful. The GR86 Premium and Yuzu Edition come with heated Ultrasuede®-trimmed sport seats and aluminum pedals, while all trims feature a 7-inch digital gauge cluster with Track and Sport modes.

Pure Sports Car Performance

At the heart of the 2026 Toyota GR86 is a naturally aspirated 2.4-liter 4-cylinder boxer engine that produces 228 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 184 lb-ft of torque at 3,700 rpm. Choose between a six-speed close-ratio manual transmission or a six-speed automatic with paddle shifters and rev-matching for a different kind of thrill.

Rear-wheel drive comes standard, supported by a Torsen® limited-slip differential and a near 53:47 weight distribution for razor-sharp handling. The sport-tuned suspension features MacPherson struts up front and a double-wishbone rear, and Yuzu Edition models come with Brembo® brakes and SACHS dampers for upgraded track capability.

Fuel economy ranges from an EPA-estimated 20 city/26 highway mpg with the manual to 21 city/30 highway mpg with the automatic.
