How Much Is the 2026 Toyota GR86?

Key Points:

• The 2026 Toyota GR86 has a base price of just $31,995 (all prices include $1,195 destination charge).
• Limited-production Yuzu Edition sports standard performance upgrades.
• Lightweight sports car with standard six-speed manual transmission.

Toyota’s GR86 boasts a purity of purpose nearly unparalleled in today’s vast automotive market. It is a lightweight sports car (just 2,811 pounds) with a manual transmission for shoppers on a budget. Other than its mechanical twin, the Subaru BRZ, only the Mazda MX-5 Miata shares the GR86’s focus.

That’s not changing for the 2026 model year. The limited-production Yuzu Edition pays tribute to the GR86’s forebear, the Scion FR-S, but Toyota’s fun-loving little coupe is otherwise unchanged.

Release Date and Pricing

The 2026 Toyota GR86 is on sale now. Full line pricing is as follows:

• GR86: $31,995
• Premium: $34,595
• Yuzu Edition: $37,560

Trim Levels

The entry-level GR86 is a laser-focused fun machine, but it’s not a penalty box. It rides on 17-inch wheels and has manually adjustable cloth seats, but also sports full LED exterior lighting, keyless entry and start, dual-zone automatic climate control, six speakers, and an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Standard safety tech on the 2026 GR86 includes forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control and automatic high beams. Cars with the automatic transmission also get standard rear parking sensors with automatic braking.

The Premium trim upgrades to matte-black 18-inch wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 4 performance tires, a duckbill rear spoiler, synthetic suede seat inserts, heated front seats, aluminum pedals and an eight-speaker sound system.

Limited to just 860 units for the U.S., the Yuzu Edition features its namesake Yuzu Yellow paint, echoed inside the cabin with yellow contrast stitching and yellow perforations on the seats. The Performance Package, which is a $2,020 option on the base GR86 and $1,500 on the Premium, is standard here. It includes larger Brembo brakes (12.8-inch rotors up front and 12.4 inches in the rear, versus 11.6 and 11.4 without the package) with red calipers and Sachs dampers for even more responsive handling. The Yuzu Edition is otherwise identical to the Premium; both trims also get blind spot monitors.

Powertrain Specs and MPG

The 2026 GR86 is powered by a 2.4-liter flat-four engine making 228 horsepower and 184 pounds-feet of torque. A six-speed manual transmission is standard on every trim level, and a six-speed automatic is available for $1,100. In keeping with its singleness of purpose as a sports car, the GR86 is only available with rear-wheel drive. Official EPA estimates for the 2026 model are not yet available, but Toyota says it returns the same EPA-rated 20/26/22 mpg city/highway/combined with the manual transmission and 21/30/24 mpg with the automatic as the 2025 model.
