2022 Toyota GR86 Review

Take it Slow? Oh, No!

Resist any urge to go slow in the GR86. This car is made for speed with its exclusive 2.4L flat-4 boxer engine. It zooms from 0 to 60 MPH in just 6.1 seconds for a rocket blast of energy. It produces 228 horsepower supported by 184 lb-ft of torque.

As you careen on winding roads, power surges to the rear wheels to help you take the corners with mastery. The engine placement in the front serves to direct that power where you need it. To enhance the ability to expertly turn, the front fenders contain functional air vents. This distributes the air around your car like armor to cement your road stability.

This aerodynamic and aggressive vehicle makes the moves with the help of either an optional 6-speed automatic or a standard 6-speed manual transmission for deft shifting. With the automatic’s paddle shifters located aside the steering wheel, your fingertips can dance toward the switch.

Back in Black Leather

An optional leather-laden cabin keeps your GR86 dark and dangerous. The seats, steering wheel, and parking brake handle can be swathed in smooth leather. Accenting the racy interior, available aluminum sport pedals complete the effect.

The seats can include two stages of heat to provide extra coziness before you take off. The cabin also features turbine-style air vents and a standard dual zone automatic climate control system.

Before we forget, a standard multi-function in-key remote keyless entry streamlines your ability to get started. With the key fob in hand or your pocket, engage the GR Push Button Start for a quick getaway.

Safety While Sprinting

While you’re sprinting ahead, behind the scenes, you’re secure to go. Several driver-assistive systems curb your GR86 from going too far off the rails. The available Pre-Collision Braking System pulls out the stops, while the optional Pre-Collision Throttle Management can hold you back when an object appears.

Give yourself a breather by ceding control to your car through the available Adaptive Cruise Control with Lead Vehicle Start Alert. With the guidance of the standard backup camera and optional Blind Spot Detection with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, you’ll know when it’s safe to proceed.
