How much does the 2025 Toyota GR86 cost?

Prices have softened 2.58% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 348 listings available, which suggests you have some room to compare prices and equipment.

Is the 2025 Toyota GR86 a good car?

The 2025 Toyota GR86 earns an expert rating of 7.83/10.

The standout strength is Performance at 10/10.

It is built for you if you want an affordable two-door coupe that feels at home on a twisty mountain road and still works for weekend errands. The trade-offs are clear: the back seat is cramped, and the technology is outdated.

The market also looks reasonably accessible, with 25.3% of listings priced as good or great deals.

Is the 2025 Toyota GR86 reliable?

The GR86 is positioned as a simple, driver-focused sports car, and that helps keep the ownership formula straightforward. Its 2.4-liter boxer-four sends power to the rear wheels through either a six-speed manual or automatic, and the car’s mechanical setup is centered on engagement rather than complexity.

Toyota also includes scheduled maintenance for two years or 25,000 miles, which is a useful ownership perk if you want some early running costs covered. For long-term ownership, the main risk is that a used GR86 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 79.3% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the report carefully, because a sports car like this may have seen spirited use even if it has no accident history. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that focuses on tires, brakes, suspension, and signs of track or autocross abuse. Pay close attention to interior wear and the condition of the infotainment system, since the cabin is a key part of the ownership experience here.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base trim uses cloth seats, while the Premium and Hakone special edition get Ultrasuede and leather-trimmed seats. The base model also misses blind-spot monitoring, which is offered on Premium and Hakone Edition models.
• Powertrain: The GR86 uses a 2.4-liter boxer-four with 228 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque, and you can choose a six-speed manual or automatic. The automatic is quicker to live with, but the manual is the enthusiast choice.
• Safety package: Each 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.
• Infotainment: The GR86 has an eight-inch touchscreen, standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a one-year trial of remote services. The system is basic, and there is no native navigation.
• Fuel efficiency: The automatic is rated at 21 mpg city, 30 mpg highway and 24 mpg combined, while 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: base, Premium, Hakone Edition.

Here's the short version:

• base: This is the entry point, and it gives you the core GR86 experience at the lowest price. It still delivers the same 2.4-liter engine and rear-wheel-drive fun, but you give up blind-spot monitoring and the upgraded seat materials found higher up the range.
• Premium: This is the best-value trim if you want the most complete everyday package. It adds blind-spot monitoring and the nicer Ultrasuede and leather-trimmed seats, making it the smarter pick for most shoppers.
• Hakone Edition: This is the special-edition choice if you want the most distinctive look and the top-end presentation. It adds the Ridge Green exterior and bronze wheels, along with the Premium-style interior upgrades.

Blind-spot monitoring is only offered on Premium and Hakone Edition models, so the base trim is the one to skip if that feature matters to you.

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

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer's market, so you can shop carefully without expecting every listing to be a bargain.

• Deal availability: 25.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 348 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 2.58% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 79.3% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $32,031, 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 $32,791 sits slightly below last year's $33,659.

That softer pricing suggests the GR86 is currently more buyer-friendly than it was a year ago. If you buy at the right price and keep the car in clean condition, you should have a reasonable shot at holding value well, especially because enthusiast demand tends to support cars like this. The key is to avoid overpaying for a heavily modified or hard-driven example, since that can hurt future resale appeal.

Is the 2025 Toyota GR86 safe?

The 2025 Toyota GR86 earns Good ratings from IIHS in crashworthiness and crash avoidance and mitigation, and an Acceptable rating for child seat anchors.

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

Each GR86 comes with 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 available on Premium and Hakone Edition models, and the adaptive cruise control does not have stop-and-go functionality. The forward collision warning system is also described as sensitive, so you may notice alerts more often than expected.

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:

• 25.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 79.3% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 2.58% compared with last year.
• It adds performance upgrades and the Hakone Edition special model.

Consider the 2026 if:

• It sharpens driver engagement and emphasizes fun even more.

The bottom line: If you want the better shopping opportunity right now, the 2025 is the safer bet because pricing has eased and inventory is available. If your priority is the newest version of the formula and you care most about driving enjoyment, the 2026 is worth a look; if you’re price-sensitive, the 2025 gives you the stronger value case.
