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 477 listings available, which gives you a modest amount of inventory to compare before you buy.

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 enjoyment over everyday practicality. It earns a 3.88/5 user rating and a 7.67/10 expert rating, which lines up with its enthusiast-first mission.

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

Owners repeatedly praise its fun driving experience, nimble handling, and affordability. The review summary also points to its strong sports-car character and engaging performance, which matches the car’s driver-focused setup.

The main trade-offs are its underwhelming power for some shoppers, along with the small rear seat and dated infotainment system. The overview also makes clear that this is not meant to be a practical all-rounder, so you should expect compromises if you want a daily driver with more space and refinement.

With the GR86 framed as a stylish, inexpensive performance coupe, it makes the most sense if you want a fun car rather than a detached commuter. The market shows 29.4% of listings as good or great deals, which suggests there are still some attractive buys out there.

Is the 2023 Toyota GR86 reliable?

The 2023 Toyota GR86 is built around a simple, enthusiast-friendly formula, and owners describe it as fun, affordable, and enjoyable to live with. The user review summary also points to a car that many drivers see as a great sports car for enthusiasts, which supports the idea that it can be a dependable choice for the right buyer.

The expert performance notes reinforce that impression by describing a well-weighted, direct steering setup and a chassis that is meant for winding roads rather than hard use without control. The cost-effectiveness section also notes that Toyota recommends premium fuel for the GR86, so you should factor that into long-term running costs.

For used buyers, the biggest ownership risk is that this is a specialized sports coupe, so condition and maintenance history matter more than they would on a mainstream commuter car.

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 start with a history report and then focus on how the car was used, because a sports coupe like this is more likely to have seen spirited driving. A pre-purchase inspection should pay close attention to wear items, cabin condition, and any signs that the car has been modified or tracked. You should also compare trim equipment carefully, since the lower trim leaves out some comfort and convenience upgrades.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Base trim gives you manually adjustable front seats, cloth seating, an 8-inch touchscreen, and 17-inch alloy wheels, while the Premium trim adds heated sport bucket seats, leather and Ultrasuede upholstery, 18-inch wheels, larger brakes, adaptive front headlights, and the duckbill rear spoiler. If you want the best balance of equipment and value, the Premium trim is the one to target.
• Powertrain: You get a 2.4-liter boxer four-cylinder with 228 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque, plus a standard six-speed manual or available six-speed automatic. The limited-slip differential is included regardless of gearbox choice, and the setup is tuned for rear-wheel-drive handling rather than straight-line drama.
• Safety package: The automatic transmission brings 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, while the manual misses the advanced driver-assistance bundle.
• Infotainment: You get an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus Bluetooth, a digital speedometer, and real buttons and dials for key functions. The Premium trim upgrades the stereo to an eight-speaker unit.
• Fuel efficiency: The automatic returns 21 mpg city, 31 mpg highway, and 25 mpg combined, while the manual returns 20 mpg city, 27 mpg highway, and 22 mpg combined. In testing, the car averaged 29.9 mpg.

Which 2023 Toyota GR86 trim should I buy?

The 2023 Toyota GR86 is offered in 3 trim levels: Base, Premium, and 10th Anniversary Special Edition.

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 hardware, the 8-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and the lightweight rear-wheel-drive formula that defines the car.
• Premium: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it adds the heated sport bucket seats, leather and Ultrasuede upholstery, larger brakes, 18-inch wheels, adaptive front headlights, and the duckbill rear spoiler. It also gets the upgraded eight-speaker stereo and blind-spot monitoring, making it the most complete everyday version.
• 10th Anniversary Special Edition: This is the appearance-and-collectibility choice, with forged matte 18-inch wheels, exclusive paint, black exterior accents, and a performance exhaust. It makes sense if you want the most distinctive GR86, but it is not the value pick.

The Premium trim also gets the added safety equipment mentioned above, while the automatic transmission is the one that brings the full driver-assistance bundle.

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

This is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop patiently and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 29.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 477 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 $28,150, 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 $29,409 sits slightly above last year's $29,315.

That small increase suggests the GR86 has held its value fairly well, which is a good sign if you plan to sell later. The market is not showing a sharp drop, so you are not looking at a car that is rapidly losing appeal.

For a future seller, that stability can help you avoid a steep depreciation hit if you keep the car in good condition. It also means well-kept examples should remain attractive to enthusiast buyers who want a fun, affordable sports coupe.

Is the 2023 Toyota GR86 safe?

The 2023 Toyota GR86 has not been crash-tested by NHTSA, but it has been evaluated by IIHS 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 comes with 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.

The main safety caveat is that the manual transmission does not get the same advanced driver-assistance bundle, so you should check the exact equipment on any used listing before you buy.

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:

• 29.4% 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.
• It keeps the GR86 formula focused on performance, value, and driver engagement.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $28,099, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $29,409 average.
• It introduced the redesigned GR86 formula with more power and more tech.

The bottom line: If you want the stronger current-year market picture and a well-rounded enthusiast coupe, the 2023 is the safer default. If your priority is saving money up front, the 2022 is the better price-sensitive path, especially if you find a clean example with the right equipment.
