How much does the 2023 Toyota GR86 cost?

Prices have held steady compared to this time last year, signaling a stable and predictable market for this model year.

There are 492 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2023 Toyota GR86 a good car?

The 2023 Toyota GR86 is a strong fit if you want a focused sports coupe that prioritizes driving feel over everyday practicality. It earns a 3.9/5 user rating and a 7.7/10 expert rating, which lines up with its enthusiast-first mission.

The model scores 10/10 across Performance and Cost effectiveness.

Owners consistently praise its fun driving experience, nimble handling, and affordability. The review summary also points to its appeal as a great sports car for enthusiasts, with the kind of performance that makes it feel rewarding on back roads.

The main trade-offs are a lack of power for the price, a small rear seat, and lots of cabin noise. That means you should think of it as a weekend-friendly driver’s car rather than a roomy all-purpose coupe.

The GR86 is aimed at shoppers who want tactile performance and straightforward controls, and that use case fits the car well. With 29.3% of listings marked as good or great deals, there’s also a decent chance of finding a competitive price.

Is the 2023 Toyota GR86 reliable?

The 2023 Toyota GR86 is built around a simple, enthusiast-focused formula, and owners describe it as fun and affordable to live with. The user review summary emphasizes its nimble handling and overall appeal as a sports car for enthusiasts, while also suggesting it can be a car you can count on for enjoyable driving.

The expert test-drive data highlights a low center of gravity from the boxer engine layout, which supports the car’s balanced, dependable road manners. It also notes that the powertrain is designed for carving up winding roads rather than chasing gimmicks, which reinforces its straightforward character.

For used buyers, the biggest long-term ownership risk is that a car this focused may have been driven hard, so condition and maintenance history matter a lot.

What should I look for when buying a used 2023 Toyota GR86?

At 74.2% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and confirm whether any prior damage was repaired properly. A pre-purchase inspection is especially important on a sports car like this, since hard use can show up in brakes, tires, suspension, and interior wear. Focus on overall condition, not just mileage, because a well-kept example will matter more than a lightly used but neglected one.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Base trim includes manually adjustable front seats, cloth seating, push-button start, a digital speedometer, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, an 8-inch touchscreen, and 17-inch alloy wheels. The Premium trim adds 18-inch alloy wheels, Michelin Pilot Sport 4 all-season performance tires, adaptive front headlights, larger brakes, heated sport bucket seats, leather and Ultrasuede upholstery, and an upgraded stereo.
• Powertrain: The GR86 uses a 2.4-liter horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine with 228 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. Power goes to the rear wheels through a standard six-speed manual or available six-speed automatic transmission, and a limited-slip differential is included regardless of gearbox choice.
• Safety package: On automatic-transmission models, the car includes pre-collision braking, adaptive cruise control, pre-collision throttle management, lane-departure warning, a lead-vehicle alert system, and high-beam assist. Premium trim adds blind-spot monitoring and adaptive headlights that turn with the steering wheel.
• Infotainment: You get an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus a fully digital instrument panel and a six-speaker stereo. The Premium trim upgrades the stereo to an eight-speaker unit.
• Fuel efficiency: The automatic transmission-equipped model returns 21 mpg city, 31 mpg highway, and 25 mpg combined. The manual-equipped model returns 20 mpg city, 27 mpg highway, and 22 mpg combined.

Which 2023 Toyota GR86 trim should I buy?

The 2023 Toyota GR86 is offered in 2 trim levels: Base and Premium.

Here's the short version:

• Base: This is the value play if you want the GR86 experience at the lowest entry price. You still get the core enthusiast formula: rear-wheel drive, a 228-horsepower boxer engine, an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and the simple, driver-focused cabin layout. It’s the trim to choose if you care most about the driving feel and want to keep costs down.
• Premium: This is the best-value trim if you want the most complete version of the car. It adds 18-inch wheels, Michelin Pilot Sport 4 all-season performance tires, adaptive front headlights, larger brakes, heated sport bucket seats, leather and Ultrasuede upholstery, and an upgraded stereo. If you want the GR86 to feel a little more special without moving into a different price bracket, this is the one to target.

The Premium trim also adds blind-spot monitoring and adaptive headlights that turn with the steering wheel.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2023 Toyota GR86?

This looks like a moderate, selective-buyer market, so you have room to shop carefully without expecting a deep bargain on every listing.

• Deal availability: 29.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 492 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have held steady compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 74.2% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $28,149, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2023 Toyota GR86's resale value?

The current average of $28,756 sits slightly above last year's $28,530.

That small increase suggests the GR86 has held its value fairly well in the used market. For a future seller, that’s a positive sign because it points to steady demand rather than a sharp drop in interest.

The current pricing also suggests the car is not being discounted heavily, which can help support resale strength over time. If you keep the car in good condition and avoid accident history, you should be in a better position when it’s time to sell.

Is the 2023 Toyota GR86 safe?

The 2023 Toyota GR86 has not been crash-tested by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), but it has been evaluated by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), where it earned top marks across the board, including a best score of Superior for its crash-prevention technology.

It earns a 6/10 safety score from our experts.

The automatic-transmission model includes pre-collision braking, adaptive cruise control, pre-collision throttle management, lane-departure warning, a lead-vehicle alert system, and high-beam assist. Premium trim adds blind-spot monitoring and adaptive headlights that turn with the steering wheel.

One important caveat is that these advanced driver-assistance features are tied to the automatic transmission, so manual-transmission shoppers give up some safety equipment.

Should I buy a 2023 Toyota GR86 or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2023 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2023 if:

• 29.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 74.2% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have held steady compared with last year.
• The 2023 keeps the driver-focused formula intact while offering a stable used-market setup.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $27,383, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $28,756 average.
• The 2022 is the redesigned version that brought a more powerful engine and more tech features.

The bottom line: If you want the strongest balance of current-market stability and enthusiast appeal, the 2023 is the safer pick. If your priority is saving money up front, the 2022 is the better value-oriented alternative.
