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.

With 462 listings available, you have a modest amount of inventory to compare before you buy. If you find a listing below $28,149.26, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2023 Toyota GR86 a good car?

The 2023 Toyota GR86 is a strong fit if you want a focused sports coupe and can live with a few everyday compromises. It earns a 3.88/5 user rating and a 7.67/10 expert rating.

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

Owners consistently praise the GR86 for its fun driving experience, nimble handling, and affordability. The expert review reinforces that with blissful handling dynamics, sharp acceleration, and straightforward controls. In practical terms, that makes it especially appealing if you want a car that feels engaging on back roads and still stays approachable on price.

The trade-offs are real: the expert review calls out a dated infotainment system and lots of cabin noise, while owners also note that it can feel underpowered for the price. The GR86’s driver-focused setup makes the most sense if you value road feel and simplicity over rear-seat space or a quiet commute.

With 26.8% of listings marked as good or great deals, the market still gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2023 Toyota GR86 reliable?

The 2023 Toyota GR86 is built around a simple, enthusiast-focused formula, which helps support long-term confidence if you buy a well-kept example. Owners describe it as fun, nimble, and affordable, and the review summary also points to a car that feels like a great sports car for enthusiasts.

The expert review emphasizes that the GR86 keeps just the right amount of technology without getting in the way of the driving experience, which usually means fewer complicated systems to worry about over time. It also notes that the car is designed to be comfortable enough for long drives, suggesting it can handle regular use without feeling fragile.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is choosing a car that has been driven hard or modified without proper maintenance records.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 78.4% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the history report carefully, because a sports coupe like this may have seen enthusiastic use. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that focuses on wear items, signs of abuse, and any evidence of track use or aftermarket changes. Pay close attention to cabin condition, tire wear, brake condition, and whether the car has been maintained consistently.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Base trim includes manually adjustable front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, Ultrasuede upholstery accents, cloth seating, push-button start, power doors and windows, a digital speedometer, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, two USB ports, Bluetooth connectivity, 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, a duckbill rear spoiler, adaptive front headlights, larger brakes, aluminum sport pedals, heated sport bucket seats, and leather-and-Ultrasuede upholstery.
• Powertrain: The GR86 uses a 2.4-liter horizontally-opposed four-cylinder engine with 228 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. It comes with a standard six-speed manual transmission or an available six-speed automatic transmission, and a limited-slip differential is included regardless of gearbox choice.
• Safety package: 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. The 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 returns 21 mpg city, 31 mpg highway, and 25 mpg combined. The manual 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 manual or automatic transmission, an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and the same basic driver-focused cabin layout. It makes the most sense if you care most about the driving feel and less about extra comfort and appearance upgrades.
• Premium: This is the best-value trim if you want the most complete version of the car. It adds the 18-inch wheels, Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires, duckbill spoiler, larger brakes, heated sport seats, and upgraded upholstery, plus blind-spot monitoring and adaptive headlights. If you plan to keep the car for a while and want the richer feature set, this is the trim 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 is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you can shop carefully without expecting a deep bargain on every listing.

• Deal availability: 26.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 462 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have held steady compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 78.4% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $28,149.26, 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 $29,648 sits slightly above last year's $29,445.

That small increase suggests the GR86 has held its value fairly well for a sports coupe. If you buy one in good condition, you should have a reasonable chance of recovering a solid share of your purchase price later.

The stable pricing also points to steady demand from enthusiasts who want a lightweight rear-wheel-drive coupe. For you, that means the car is less likely to feel like a fast-depreciating impulse buy than many niche performance models.

Is the 2023 Toyota GR86 safe?

The GR86 has not been crash-tested by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, but it has been evaluated by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and 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. If you move up to the Premium trim, you also get 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:

• 26.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 78.4% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have held steady compared with last year.
• The 2023 keeps the GR86’s focused, driver-first formula with strong handling and straightforward controls.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $28,293, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $29,648 average.
• It is the redesigned version of the Toyota 86 and emphasizes driving engagement over practicality.

The bottom line: Choose the 2023 if you want the current-year version with stable pricing and a strong mix of enthusiast appeal and market availability. If your priority is saving money upfront, the 2022 is the better value path, especially if you find one in clean condition with the features you want.
