And for those craving even more performance, there’s the new Performance Package, delivering top-notch Brembo brakes and SACHS suspension dampers, elevating the car’s agility and handling to new heights.

2024 Toyota GR86 Specs, Design

The Toyota GR86 is a sporty coupe that can fit four people, but it’s pretty compact at 167 inches long and 70 inches wide. This small size means the back seats don’t have much legroom, and the trunk only has 6.9 cubic feet of space. So, the Toyota 86 works best as a two-seater, with the back seats more useful for extra storage.

This year, Toyota is introducing the Trueno Edition to the GR86 lineup. This special edition pays tribute to the classic AE86 Corolla, made famous by the anime Initial D. It comes with a performance package that includes Sachs dampers and Brembo brakes. According to CarandDriver reports, Only 860 Trueno Editions will be available in the U.S. (catch the number play?).

Good news doesn’t stop there—the suspension and brake upgrades are also available across the GR86 model line. If you have GR86s with 18-inch wheels, you can get the Brembo brake calipers and larger rotors as dealer-installed options.

In the 2024 model, all manual GR86s now come with adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning, and automatic emergency braking.

Interior, Tech, and Infotainment System

The interiors of the Subaru and Toyota models are almost identical, with just a few differences around the dashboard and infotainment display. The new 2024 GR86 keeps the same size and shape as the previous model. Like its sibling, the Subaru BRZ, it seats four, which is rare for affordable sports cars. While the back seats aren’t spacious or comfy, they’re handy.

How about the Infotainment and Connectivity? The 2024 model of GR86 comes with an 8.0-inch touchscreen for infotainment. It also has a 7.0-inch digital gauge display that you can set to Normal, Sport, or Track modes. Standard features include Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and SiriusXM satellite radio with a free three-month trial. The base model has a six-speaker stereo, while the Premium trim upgrades you to an eight-speaker system.

2024 Toyota GR86 Safety Features

Alright, now let’s explore the GR86 safety features! In the 2024 model, every Toyota GR86 comes packed with safety features, no matter which transmission you choose. You get adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, automatic high beams, and automatic emergency braking.

If you go for the Premium trim, you also get blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert, which are super helpful for safer lane changes and parking.

Even though it’s a small car, the Toyota 86 has earned the IIHS Top Safety Pick+ rating, meaning it’s one of the safest cars you can drive.

2024 Toyota GR86 Engine, Power Options

The 2024 Toyota GR86 packs a punch with its lively four-cylinder engine, boasting a 2.4-liter size that pumps out 228 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. Whether you prefer the thrill of shifting gears yourself or the convenience of an automatic, Toyota offers both options with a six-speed manual transmission or a six-speed automatic transmission.

Sure, with 228 horsepower, the GR86 might not make your heart race like a Formula 1 car, but it’s still plenty zippy, especially when you put the pedal to the metal on a straight road.
