How much does the 2025 Toyota GR86 cost?

Prices have softened 2.69% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 331 listings available, which gives you a decent amount of inventory to compare before you buy.

If you find a listing below $32,100.23, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2025 Toyota GR86 a good car?

The 2025 Toyota GR86 earns a 7.83/10 expert rating.

The standout strength is Performance at 10/10.

You’re looking at an affordable two-door sports coupe that’s meant to deliver cheap thrills, good looks, and a manual transmission option. The GR86 is also described as nimble and comfortable enough for weekend errands, so it works best if you want a driver-focused car that still has some everyday usability.

The main trade-offs are the cramped back seat and outdated technology. Those compromises are part of the package, especially if you care more about handling and engagement than passenger space or modern infotainment polish.

Only 26.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so the market is selective rather than flooded with bargains.

Is the 2025 Toyota GR86 reliable?

The GR86 is presented as a straightforward sports car with average warranty coverage for the class, plus scheduled maintenance coverage for two years or 25,000 miles and roadside assistance for two years. Its performance focus is clear, but the car is still built around a conventional gasoline powertrain and a relatively simple formula.

The expert review also points to strong handling and accessible power, which usually makes the car feel easy to live with when you’re driving it within its limits. Toyota’s one-year NASA membership and free high-performance driving event credit are nice ownership perks if you plan to use the car the way it was intended.

For used buyers, the biggest long-term risk is that a car like this may have been driven hard, so condition and maintenance history matter more than mileage alone.

What should I look for when buying a used 2025 Toyota GR86?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 82.2% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the history report carefully, because a sports car can hide hard use even when it looks clean on paper. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that focuses on tires, brakes, suspension, and signs of track or aggressive driving. Pay close attention to interior wear and infotainment behavior, since the cabin tech is already dated and any extra wear can make that feel worse.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base trim uses cloth seats, while the Premium and Hakone Edition add Ultrasuede and leather-trimmed seats. The base model also misses blind-spot monitoring, which is offered on Premium and Hakone Edition models.
• Powertrain: You get a 2.4-liter boxer-four with 228 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque, paired with either a six-speed manual or automatic transmission. The automatic is quicker to shift, but the manual is the more engaging choice.
• Safety package: Every GR86 gets forward collision warning, pre-collision braking, lead vehicle start alert, lane departure warning, automatic high beams, and adaptive cruise control. Blind-spot monitoring is not standard on the base trim.
• Infotainment: The cabin uses an eight-inch touchscreen with standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. There’s no native navigation system, and the system is described as basic and slow to respond.
• Fuel efficiency: The automatic is rated at 21 mpg city, 30 mpg highway, and 24 mpg combined. The manual is rated at 20 mpg city, 26 mpg highway, and 22 mpg combined.

Which 2025 Toyota GR86 trim should I buy?

The 2025 Toyota GR86 is offered in 3 trim levels: GR86, GR86 Premium, Hakone Edition.

Here's the short version:

• GR86: This is the entry point if you want the core GR86 experience at the lowest price. You still get the same 2.4-liter boxer-four, the manual-transmission option, and the car’s sharp handling, but you give up the nicer seat materials and blind-spot monitoring found higher up the range.
• GR86 Premium: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it adds Ultrasuede and leather-trimmed seats and blind-spot monitoring while keeping the same fun driving character. If you want the sweet spot between price and equipment, this is the one to target.
• Hakone Edition: This is the special-edition choice if you want the most distinctive look, with Ridge Green paint and 18-inch satin bronze wheels. It also gets the Premium’s upgraded seat materials and blind-spot monitoring, but it’s more about exclusivity than value.

Blind-spot monitoring is only offered on Premium and Hakone Edition models, so the base trim is the one with the biggest safety-equipment gap.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2025 Toyota GR86?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you can shop carefully without expecting every listing to be a bargain.

• Deal availability: 26.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 331 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 2.69% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 82.2% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $32,100.23, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2025 Toyota GR86's resale value?

The current average of $32,925 sits slightly below last year's $33,835.

That price movement suggests the GR86 has softened a bit in the used market, which can help you buy at a better entry point today. For a future seller, that also means you should expect resale value to depend heavily on condition, mileage, and trim, especially because enthusiast cars can vary a lot in how they’ve been used.

If you keep the car clean, well maintained, and unmodified, you’ll be in a better position when it’s time to sell. A well-kept GR86 should remain appealing to shoppers who want an affordable sports coupe with a manual option.

Is the 2025 Toyota GR86 safe?

The GR86 earns Good ratings from IIHS in crashworthiness and crash avoidance and mitigation, and Acceptable for child seat anchors.

It earns a 5/10 safety score from our experts.

Every GR86 gets forward collision warning, pre-collision braking, lead vehicle start alert, lane departure warning, automatic high beams, and adaptive cruise control. Blind-spot monitoring is only offered on Premium and Hakone Edition models, so the base trim leaves you without that extra layer of awareness.

The review also notes that the forward collision warning can be overly sensitive, and the adaptive cruise control lacks stop-and-go functionality. That means you should treat the safety tech as helpful support, not a substitute for attentive driving.

Should I buy a 2025 Toyota GR86 or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2025 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2025 if:

• 26.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 82.2% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 2.69% compared with last year.
• The 2025 adds performance upgrades and the limited-production Hakone Edition.

Consider the 2026 if:

• It sharpens driver engagement and offers tire choices for different driving styles.

The bottom line: Choose the 2025 if you want the current-year car with a softer price trend and a strong mix of fun and value. If you’re mainly chasing the sharpest driving experience and don’t mind looking at the next model year, the 2026 is worth a look; if you’re price-sensitive, the 2025 remains the smarter buy.
