The four-seat 2027 Toyota GR86 puts essential controls within easy reach while maintaining the low seating position buyers expect from a sports car. The GR86 includes sport front bucket seats with black side bolsters, G-embossed fabric inserts, a six-way adjustable driver’s seat, and a four-way adjustable passenger seat. GR86 Premium upgrades to two-stage heated sport seats with leather-trimmed bolsters and Ultrasuede® inserts.

Automatic-transmission models add paddle shifters to the steering wheel, while Premium models receive aluminum sport pedals and available black interior treatments.
For child safety, LATCH includes lower anchors and tether anchors for the outboard rear seating positions. The trunk provides an exact 6.26 cubic feet of cargo volume, giving commuters usable space for groceries, work bags, or compact weekend luggage.
At 167.9 inches long, 69.9 inches wide, and 51.6 inches tall, the 2027 Toyota GR86 maintains compact sports-car proportions. Its wheelbase measures 2,575 mm, minimum running ground clearance is 130 mm, and its coefficient of drag is 0.276. Functional details include a black G-mesh front grille with air inlet ducts, front-wheel-arch air outlet vents, a black rear bumper lower valance, dual chrome-tipped exhaust, and black heated power outside mirrors.
The base GR86 uses auto-leveling projector LED headlights with Automatic High Beams, while Premium adds an Adaptive Front-Lighting System and a color-keyed duckbill rear spoiler. Standard GR86 wheels wear 215/45R17 Michelin® Primacy HP summer tires, while Premium receives 215/40R18 Michelin® Pilot® Sport 4 performance summer tires. A tire repair kit is included.
An available GR Aero Kit for GR86 Premium adds a front splitter, side skirts, and rear diffuser for buyers who want a more track-inspired appearance.
Every 2027 Toyota GR86 uses a naturally aspirated 2.4-liter FA24 horizontally opposed 4-cylinder boxer engine with Toyota D-4S direct injection. Output is 228 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 184 lb-ft of torque at 3,700 rpm, with a 12.5:1 compression ratio and DOHC 16-valve design. Toyota specifies 93-octane-or-higher gasoline. The six-speed manual is standard, while a six-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission with paddle shifters is available.
Toyota refined accelerator input and torque delivery for 2027 to create a smoother, more linear response. Manual-transmission models also receive a revised fourth-to-fifth-gear shifter interlock intended to improve shift feel. The manual GR86 reaches 60 mph in a Toyota-stated 6.1 seconds, and Toyota lists a maximum speed of 140 mph.
The package is available for both grades, while GR86 Premium can combine Brembo® brakes, SACHS® dampers, and its 18-inch matte-black wheels. Standard braking hardware consists of two-piston front calipers with 11.6-inch ventilated rotors and one-piston rear calipers with 11.4-inch solid rotors.
At only 2,811 pounds in base manual-transmission form, the GR86 emphasizes low weight and responsive handling rather than relying on extreme power. Aluminum is used for the hood, front fenders, and roof panel, while strategic high-strength steel, structural adhesives, and reinforced suspension mounting points support chassis rigidity.
The 2027 GR86 combines dedicated performance displays with familiar smartphone connectivity. Its standard GR86 Audio system includes an 8-inch touchscreen, six speakers, Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility, and a SiriusXM® three-month trial. GR86 Premium upgrades to an eight-speaker system with an amplifier.
Remote Connect can support compatible Toyota app and smartwatch functions such as door locking and unlocking, vehicle location, vehicle-status checks, and guest-driver monitoring. Feature availability can vary by configuration, and connected functions require compatible service and network availability.
Every 2027 Toyota GR86 includes the GR86 Active Safety Suite, giving drivers assistance beyond the sports coupe’s mechanical handling systems. Toyota says the stereo camera’s recognition range has nearly doubled for improved preceding-vehicle detection while using cruise control, and a monocular camera has been added to help detect nearby objects at intersections.
Hill Start Assist Control, a Tire Pressure Monitor System, anti-theft alarm and immobilizer, Track Mode, and the projected-path backup camera are also included. GR86 Premium adds Blind Spot Detection and Rear Parking Sonar with Reverse Automatic Braking.
