The new 2022 Toyota GR86 is a unique and versatile sports car that comes to us from a trusted brand we know and love. With an updated engine that’s more powerful than ever and a smooth driving experience, it’s no wonder this model is so popular. Some vehicles are sporty and others are made for daily driving, but the GR86 possesses the best of both worlds.
Basics About the 2022 Toyota GR86
Under the Hood
Six-Speed Transmission
With the GR86 you can either use the short-throw shifter for manual or the paddle shifters for automatic. The onboard Dynamic Rev Management system helps you maximize smoothness, engine response, and, of course, speed.
Boxer Engine
The 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine offers even more displacement than in previous years, making it a real powerhouse. The 0-60 acceleration speeds have also been amped up thanks to an improved curve in the torque. Because of this torque curve, the sports car boasts impressive stats of 228 horsepower and 184-pound-per-feet of torque.
Handling
Not only do the fenders of the GR86 look cool, but they also grant better aerodynamics. These in tandem with the fully functional vents help keep your engine cool. They also improve turning responsiveness and stability on the road.
This year’s GR86 comes equipped with a suspension specifically tuned for the track. The engine is placed in the front so that much of the power goes to the back wheels, putting even more control in your hands.
New/Unique Features of the GR86
Tech
There’s no shortage of newly updated technology to make your drive easier onboard the GR86. With the digital gauge cluster, you’ll have access to well-organized stats on your ride and you can check your performance at a glance. This is where you can toggle between the built-in modes: Normal, Track, and Sport.
Track mode is great for optimizing shifting. Engaging this mode will grant you a focus on your tachometer and shift light so you can adjust as needed. The updated eight-inch infotainment screen has the latest Bluetooth technology and has voice command capabilities so you can keep your hands safely on the wheel.
Safety
The GR86 Active Safety Suite is the program in charge of your car’s safety features. Just a few of these driver assistance programs include Pre-Collision Braking and Throttle Management, Lane Assist with Departure Warning and Sway Warning, Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control, and Auto High Beams.
Blind Spot Detection software is also standard with the 2022 GR86. It watches both sides of your vehicle and alerts you of potential collision objects. It also includes a Rear Cross-Traffic Alert system to watch the front and back of your vehicle as well.
The 2022 GR86 offers more power under the hood, stellar handling, updated style, and all the latest and greatest convenience technologies. Schedule a trip to see us here at Rick McGill’s Toyota today to test out the GR86 and take it home with you!
