For all the thrill seekers out there, the 2024 Toyota GR86 is as sporty as they come, complete with a fierce 2.4L boxer engine that brings excitement to every corner on the road. The baseline GR86 comes with a manual transmission, rear-wheel drive, and a whopping 228 HP, making it a great daily driver for the aspiring racer in all of us.
4 Reasons to Love the 2024 Toyota GR86
1. High-end Performance
Hitting 0-60 mph in as fast as 6.1 seconds, the GR86’s 228 horsepower 2.4L four-cylinder boxer engine is designed with peak sports performance in mind. Rear-wheel drive and a manual transmission on the baseline (and highest) trim take this focus to the next level, pushing the GR86’s performance to the edge for thrill-seeking drivers. One thing to note is that the mid-tier trim comes with an automatic transmission, and manual is not an option.
2. Sporty Aesthetic
It’s plain to see that the GR86 is a real looker, but wait till you get inside. Aside from its fierce profile and dial-chrome tipped exhaust, the baseline GR86 also features sport front bucket seats with side bolsters and a fabric insert with a signature G-embossed design. Functional front bumper air inlet ducts and front-wheel-arch air outlets also contribute to the look while also boosting driving performance.
3. Active Safety Suite
Toyota’s GR86 Active Safety Suite includes a whole host of advanced features to keep you and your GR86 safe on the road. For both the manual and automatic models, the GR86 comes standard with a lead vehicle start alert system, adaptive cruise control, and a pre-collision braking and throttle management system.
The GR86 also features distinct LED daytime running lights to increase your visibility in all conditions. The available adaptive front-lighting headlights can also turn in conjunction with the front wheels so you can negotiate corners at night with confidence.
4. The Latest Interior Tech
The GR86 is as much of a joy on the inside as it is on the outside. If you’re an especially connected driver, you’ll appreciate the GR86’s standard 8-inch color touchscreen with support for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay capabilities as well as a one-year trial for Toyota’s Service Connect app. This app lets you view vehicle info, see maintenance reminders, and receive important alerts about your vehicle’s status.
Remote keyless entry with push-button start also comes standard, allowing you to access door lucks and the trunk while the fob is still in your pocket.
From high-end performance and a clean aesthetic to safety and connectivity features that pave the way into the future, the GR86 is a sports car that’s as smart as it is fierce. Contact us here at Rochester Toyota in Rochester, MN to schedule your GR86 test drive today!
