Which Toyota GR86 trim should I buy?

The 2026 Toyota GR86 offers these trims:

• Core: The entry trim gives you the GR86’s core rear-wheel-drive sports-car character, standard all-season tires, a six-speed manual or automatic, and the basic sporty cabin setup. It suits you if you want the most affordable way into the lineup.
• Premium: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it adds Michelin Pilot Sport 4 summer-performance tires, black wheels, synthetic suede and leather upholstery, metal-faced pedals, and the stronger visual and dynamic upgrades that make the GR86 feel more special.
• Yuzu Edition: This special edition adds matte-black wheels with gloss-black lug nuts, Brembo brakes, Sachs dampers, yellow interior accent stitching, black interior trim, a commemorative plaque, and Yuzu yellow paint. It suits you if you want the most distinctive appearance and the most performance-focused hardware in the lineup.

What Toyota GR86 do most buyers choose?

The Toyota GR86 years with the most listings are 2024, 2023, and 2025.

Higher-volume years tend to be popular because they give you more inventory to compare, which can make it easier to find the right color, trim, and price. They also often represent the sweet spot between newer features and broader used-market availability.

What is the Toyota GR86's resale value?

Most of the listed years are moving only slightly, which points to a fairly stable used-price picture overall. The newer model years are showing small declines, while the older entries are edging upward, so you can still find some value in recent examples without seeing dramatic swings.

The 2023 and 2024 model years are holding steady, with prices close to flat year-over-year.

The 2022, 2023, and 2024 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Should I buy a used Toyota GR86 now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2025 model is at −2.44% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −0.73%.

• Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $30,654. The Toyota GR86 offers sharp handling and an engaging, lightweight sports-car character that makes it especially rewarding on back roads.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: Power from the 2.4-liter flat-four engine is modest, at 228 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque, but the way it’s delivered makes it fun.
• Tech: The standard eight-inch touchscreen works with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, but they're wired, and Toyota also provides a 7-inch digital instrument cluster with Sport and Track layouts.
• Safety: The GR86’s standard safety suite includes forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, high-beam assist, adaptive headlights, lane-departure warning, and rear cross-traffic alert.
• Starting price: The Core starts at $32,695, including a $1,295 destination fee.

If you're buying used today, the 2024 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
