The Toyota GR86 has been known as a drivers car at a low cost for a while now. Entering 2024, Toyota steps up the GR86 in to the next level with reviewed performance, style and features without losing any of its elements Here’s a closer look at why we think the 2024 Toyota GR86 is a dream for driving enthusiasts.
Design That Demands Attention
Overall, the 2024 GR86 retains its low, slippery silhouette, made all the more svelte thanks to subtle changes to the front fascia and rear spoiler. It wears a sporty but unadorned suit of clothing and is a clear indication that Toyota is trying hard to stuff performance and fit into one piece of property. The LED headlights with the most minimal of shoulder shrugs at each end, wide stance and 18-inch alloy wheels tell you this coupe means business when it comes to off-road tarmac.
The GR86 also offers new vivid hue colors like the Trueno Blue offered on the original AE86 pairing.
On board, you are met by a driver focused cabin with bolstered sports seats, higher quality materials, low switch gear and a simple, yet modern dash.
Performance That Thrills
Giving the GR86 life under the skin is, of course, the same feisty 2.4-liter flat-four that provides 228 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque. These numbers may not sound silly, but it’s how the power is delivered that defines the GR86. With a final curb weight of299,000 pounds and a low center of gravity, the GR86 offers razor-sharp handling and an engaging driving experience few competitors can match.
Toyota also has new suspension tuning for 2024, which has improved overall ride comfort and stability without sacrificing the car’s playful behavior. Six-speed manuals for purists, and an optional with paddle shifters for convenience.
Technology Meets Tradition
The 2024 GR86 isn’t all about performance, as it also comes loaded with modern tech to make the driving experience even better. An all-new 8-inch infotainment system supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for seamless smartphone integration. The driver has digital screens that double as customizable displays, giving critical performance data at a glance.
Toyota’s active safety suite — which includes adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and automatic emergency braking — is now standard on automatic models, so the GR86 is as practical as it is exhilarating.
Toyota GR86 2024: Infotainment System to Keep You Connected
2024 Toyota GR86 brings a performance powerhouse with modern infotainment system The GR86 is equipped with a slightly upgraded 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system that aims to combine simple functionality. The display is easy to use and compatible with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for a seamless smartphone experience when it comes to navigation, music, and hands-free communication.
Toyota also wanted the system to be intuitive, with clear menus and fast operation so as not to distract the driver. The GR86s controls are similarly practical—physical knobs for volume and tuning help keep you from taking your eyes off the road even if the road you’re on is curvy and triggering your fight-or-flight response.
Improvements have also been made to the sound system, with premium audio options available to ensure your favorite driving playlist sounds as good as your car feels. A configurable digital driver’s display works in conjunction with the infotainment system to provide real-time performance information, directional guidance, and multimedia details.
