Exterior
Ride the Wind
As part of its full-body redesign, Toyota’s 2026 GR86 introduces Vertical and Side Air Intakes, a Side Sill Spoiler, and Rear Wheel Arch Fins, all to increase downforce and slice through wind. The result? An unbridled performer that won’t shy away from full-throttle around corners or on straightaways.
Shine Like the Sun
New for 2026, the GR86 refreshes your drive with its bright yellow Yuzu Edition, contrasted starkly with bold black accents across its grille, side mirrors, and 18-inch wheels, and finished with Toyota’s GR Special Edition Badge front and centre.
Interior
Crafted to Support You
A well-designed seat is essential, and the 2026 Toyota GR86’s driver-focused options won’t let you down. Available in alcantara and leather, deeply bolstered Front Sport Seats offer support that staves off backache on longer roads and holds you firm when the drive gets intense.
Keep an Eye on the Action
As soon as the engine starts, the 2026 Toyota GR86 gets you ready to race with a visually-exciting opening animation on its Three-Mode Digital Instrumentation panel, which, once loaded, lets you toggle between three data display types–including a dedicated Track Mode.
Technology
Get Started in Seconds
With handling this good, you’ll want to get straight to driving, which is why the 2026 Toyota GR86 employs a Smart Key System and Push Button Start. Get behind the wheel without fumbling for your keys–you can lock/unlock your doors and trunk with your key fob in your bag or pocket, and activate the engine’s roar at just the touch of a button.
Keep in Touch
Adding a futuristic twist to the cabin of your GR86 is a sophisticated 8-inch touchscreen display housing entertainment options via SiriusXM satellite radio and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto connectivity. Additional features include Bluetooth, a 3-year trial of Remote Connect (on Premium AT models), and two USB ports for charging your devices or connecting accessories like a GPS.
Performance
Ignite the Adrenaline
Under the hood of the 2026 Toyota GR86, a naturally aspirated 2.4 L Flat-Four Boxer engine employs Toyota’s proprietary D-4S dual injection system and an impressive 12.5:1 compression ratio to achieve power heights of 228 horsepower and approximately 3,700 RPM (about 184 lb.-ft of torque), taking you from 0-60 mph in a blistering 6.1 seconds.
Trained to Ride the Wind
To achieve its intense speeds and exceptionally responsive handling, the Toyota GR86 went through a total rebuild under the supervision of Toyota’s global racing division: proven masters of top-speed performance, who cut down the GR86’s chassis weight and sculpted its aerodynamics for the 2026 model.
