2023 Toyota GR86 review

1. Motorsports DNA

Toyota has a long history of making both road and race cars. If you love the high-speed thrills of professional motorsports, you'll love the 2023 Toyota GR86. Toyota's goal was to make a racing-inspired sports car accessible to the everyday driver. You can see this inspiration throughout the GR86 with the choice of a manual gearbox with a short-throw shifter or a six-speed automatic with paddle shifters. The 2.4L boxer engine pumps out 228 hp, but the real joy lies in that power combined with the low center of gravity.

2. A true driver's car

Everything about the 2023 Toyota GR86 is designed to please the driver, from the race-car-like feeling in the cockpit to the way it handles. You'll love the functional aerodynamics with front vents that channel air around the car, as well as track-tuned suspension and a limited-slip differential. This means you can take the GR86 to the track for a few hours of fun, or you can enjoy the noise of the boxer engine on mountain roads. No matter where you are—even if it's just your regular commute—you'll love driving the 2023 GR86.

3. Head-turning style

Naturally, a race-inspired sports car looks great. But if you want to take things to the next level, check out the 2023 Toyota GR86 10th Anniversary Special Edition. It has matte black alloy wheels and a matching duck-bill spoiler, which looks fantastic with the Solar Shift orange paint. No matter which model you choose, this is a car you'll want to look back at in the parking lot.

4. Driver-centric technology

All the engineering technology in the 2023 Toyota GR86 is backed by some great interior features. You'll get an eight-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay^® and Android Auto^™ connectivity as standard, enabling you to connect to your smartphone for directions or your favorite driving playlist. You'll also get a digital gauge cluster behind the steering wheel, with different information as you switch between Normal, Sport, and Track modes.

5. Peace of mind for every drive

Every 2023 GR86 with automatic transmission comes with Toyota's suite of driver-assistance features. This includes pre-collision braking, lane departure warning, and much more. There's also adaptive cruise control for long drives when you want to make life as easy as possible. Plus, blind spot detection is standard from the Premium trim for additional peace of mind.
