A 2022 Toyota GR86 costs $28,725 for the base manual including destination, and about $32,825 for a Premium automatic. Add dealer accessories and the total creeps toward $35,000, which is still modest for a rear wheel drive sports car with real power.
2022 Toyota GR86 price by trim
Prices include the $1,025 destination charge.
| Trim | Manual | Automatic |
|---|---|---|
| GR86 | $28,725 | $30,225 |
| GR86 Premium | $31,325 | $32,825 |
The automatic adds $1,500 to either trim. Before destination, the starting prices were $27,700 for the base car and $30,300 for the Premium.
What every 2022 GR86 includes
Both trims share the same hardware, which is why the base car is such good value.
- A 2.4 liter horizontally opposed four cylinder making 228 hp and 184 lb ft of torque
- Rear wheel drive with a Torsen limited slip differential
- A 7 inch digital gauge display and an 8 inch touchscreen
- A one year National Auto Sport Association membership
Toyota rates the manual at 0 to 60 mph in about 6.1 seconds and the automatic at about 6.6 seconds.
What the Premium adds
The Premium moves up to 18 inch wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires and a rear duckbill spoiler, along with extra comfort and convenience content. If you plan to drive hard on a track or twisty road, the wheels and tires are the most useful change. If you mostly commute, the base car gives up very little.
What extras cost
Dealers and Toyota offered Gazoo Racing accessories on top of the sticker price. Typical launch era examples included fender vent inserts around $159, a GR shift knob around $149, an all weather cargo tray package around $364 and a 10 inch subwoofer around $699. Loading a car with these items pushed a manual to roughly $33,700 and an automatic to just over $35,000. Treat those totals as estimates, since accessory prices and dealer packages vary.
Why it is still good value
The price barely moved. The 2022 car cost only a few hundred dollars more than the model it replaced, while gaining more power and a larger engine.
It undercut its twin. The Subaru BRZ shares the platform and powertrain and launched about $295 higher than the base GR86.
The best parts are standard. You do not need to buy the top trim to get the engine, the differential or the manual gearbox.
Ownership is simple. It is a front engine, rear wheel drive coupe with naturally aspirated power, so there is little complexity to worry about. We cover this in more detail in our [Toyota GR86 reliability guide].
Should you buy a 2022 GR86 today?
If you want the cheapest way into a pure driver’s car, a clean base manual is the smart pick. Choose the Premium if you want the larger wheels, better tires and extra equipment. Today most 2022 cars are sold used, so see our [Toyota GR86 for sale guide] for what to check and how to compare prices.
