Toyota U.K. today announced that the 2022 GR86 coupe will come at launch with an on-the-road price tag of £ 29,995 (US$ 39,344). At that price point, customers will get a manual transmission while those who opt for the automatic gearbox will, instead pay £ 32,085 (US$ 42,086). Both transmissions feature six gears.
The coupe, Toyota’s entry-point into the
“pure-bred GR sports car” model range, will be offered with just one model
grade. It comes with 10-spoke 18-inch black alloy wheels wrapped in Michelin
Pilot Sport 4 tires, an eight-inch infotainment screen, Apple CarPlay and
Android Auto, a backup camera with cross-traffic alert, a blind-spot monitor,
LED adaptive headlights, illuminated entry, and a seven-inch instrument
display.
As far as amenities go, GR86 customers in
the U.K. will get leather upholstery, heated front seats, cruise control,
dual-zone climate control, push-button start, and more as standard. Those who
opt for the more expensive automatic model are paying for more than just the
transmission, though, as they also get a collision-avoidance system with
automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, automatic high-beam
assist, and lane-keeping assistance.
No matter which model go for, it will be
powered by a 2.4-liter, four-cylinder boxer that drives the rear wheel and
makes 228 hp and 250 Nm of torque, according to
Toyota, though dyno testing suggests that may be a conservative estimate. That
engine is good enough to get the manual version of the car up to 100
km/h in 6.3 seconds and the automatic variant up to the same speed in 6.9
seconds. U.K. deliveries of the new Toyota GR86 will commence in July 2022.
