How much does the 2022 Toyota GR86 cost?

Prices are up 1.89% year-over-year — a sign of continued demand for this model year.

There are 337 listings available, which gives you a modest amount of inventory to compare before you buy.

Is the 2022 Toyota GR86 a good car?

Yes — the 2022 Toyota GR86 earns a 4.86/5 user rating and a 7.67/10 expert rating. The model scores 9/10 across Performance and Cost effectiveness.

Owners consistently praise its fun-to-drive character, strong performance, and good handling. They also like its stylish design and nice interior.

The trade-offs are clear: the back seat is cramped, and advanced safety features are not standard with the manual transmission.

That makes the GR86 a strong fit if you want an engaging sports car that prioritizes driving enjoyment over everyday practicality. It also lands in a market where 30.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.

Is the 2022 Toyota GR86 reliable?

Owners rate it 4.86/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

Owner feedback also points to a car that feels dependable and enjoyable over time, with strong performance and good handling supporting that impression. The expert evaluation reinforces that sense of durability by describing the car as more focused and more planted, with improved rigidity and a crisp manual gearbox.

Toyota also includes two years or 25,000 miles of free scheduled maintenance and roadside assistance, which helps reduce early ownership costs.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about mechanical drama and more about whether the car has been treated carefully, since it’s a performance-oriented coupe.

What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Toyota GR86?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 80.4% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the history report carefully, because a sports car like this may have seen harder use than a typical commuter. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that focuses on wear items, signs of track use, and the condition of the interior and suspension. The cramped rear seat and limited practicality are part of the package, so make sure the car’s condition matches how you plan to use it.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base trim keeps the car simple, while the Premium trim adds a ducktail rear spoiler, leather upholstery, aluminum pedals, and grippier tires. If you want the best value, the Premium trim is the one to compare closely because it adds the most visible upgrades.
• Powertrain: You can choose a 2.4-liter boxer-four with either a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic. Toyota says it makes 228 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque, with quicker acceleration than before.
• Safety package: The car uses Subaru’s camera-based EyeSight system. Standard driver aids include automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, pre-collision throttle management, lane-departure warning, sway warning, automatic high beams, and lead-vehicle start alert. Blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and adaptive headlights are added on the Premium trim, and the manual transmission does not get the full driver-aid set.
• Infotainment: You get an 8-inch touchscreen, a 7-inch digital instrument cluster, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto connectivity, Bluetooth, and SiriusXM satellite radio. The system also includes track-friendly features like a lap timer, data traces, and a digital shift light.
• Fuel efficiency: Toyota estimates 21 mpg combined with the manual transmission and 24 mpg combined with the automatic. It also estimates 19 mpg city and 26 mpg highway for the manual, plus 20 mpg city and 30 mpg highway for the automatic.

Which 2022 Toyota GR86 trim should I buy?

The 2022 Toyota GR86 is offered in 2 trim levels: base and Premium.

Here's the short version:

• base: This is the simpler, lower-cost way into the GR86 formula. It gives you the core rear-wheel-drive sports-car experience, the 2.4-liter engine, and the standard infotainment and driver-assistance basics, but it leaves out some of the nicer appearance and comfort upgrades.
• Premium: This is the best-value trim if you want the most complete version of the car. It adds the ducktail rear spoiler, leather upholstery, aluminum pedals, grippier tires, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and adaptive headlights.

The safety package is more complete on the Premium trim, while the base car keeps the focus on affordability.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Toyota GR86?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop patiently but still move quickly on a strong listing.

• Deal availability: 30.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 337 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices are up 1.89% year-over-year.
• Clean inventory: 80.4% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $26,186, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2022 Toyota GR86's resale value?

The current average of $28,183 sits slightly above last year's $27,660.

That upward move suggests the GR86 is holding buyer interest well for a used sports coupe. Because prices are still rising, a seller with a clean, well-kept example may be able to command stronger attention than a year ago.

The year-round range also matters: values have stayed within a fairly tight band, which points to steady demand rather than sharp swings. If you own one in good condition, that stability should help support resale confidence.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.86/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2022 Toyota GR86 safe?

The 2022 Toyota GR86 has not yet been rated by IIHS or NHTSA.

It earns a 7/10 safety score from our experts.

Standard safety equipment includes seven airbags, stability control, and traction control. The car also gets a set of driver aids, but they are only available with the automatic transmission: automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, pre-collision throttle management, lane-departure warning, sway warning, automatic high beams, and lead-vehicle start alert.

If you move up to the Premium trim, you also get blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and adaptive headlights. The main caveat is that the manual transmission leaves some of the advanced safety tech off the table.

Should I buy a 2022 Toyota GR86 or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2022 if:

• 30.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 80.4% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices are up 1.89% year-over-year.
• Owners rate it 4.86/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The redesign adds a more powerful engine, more tech features, and a more focused driving feel.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $29,591, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $28,183 average.
• It sharpens the driver-focused formula with a more enthusiast-oriented feel.

The bottom line: If you want the better value, the 2022 is the smarter starting point because it already delivers the redesigned engine, updated tech, and strong owner satisfaction at a lower average price. If you’re willing to pay more for the next model year, the 2023 is the better path for buyers who want the freshest nearby alternative and don’t mind the higher asking price.
