Toyota’s GR86 is a true track star that offers heart-pumping performance and sleek styling. For the 2022 model year, the sports car has been totally redesigned and boasts improved power and new technology. Here are a few features that you’ll want to know about the 2022 Toyota GR86!
New Powertrain
Fans of the GR86 will be glad to know that the car is even quicker than previous models thanks to its new 2.4-liter flat-four engine. Like its predecessor, the motor is naturally aspirated for maximum responsiveness, but its size has increased and its performance has been improved, peaking at 228 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque.
The engine can be paired with either a six-speed short-throw manual transmission or a six-speed automatic with paddle shifters. Combined with the car’s low gross weight of under 3,800 pounds, the powertrain is capable of propelling the car from 0 to 60 in under six seconds.
Refined Chassis
Not only is the GR86 quicker in a straight line, but it also features sharper handling than ever before. Both the base and Premium models come standard with a Torsen limited-slip differential that improves traction during hard cornering.
The suspension has also been tuned by Gazoo Racing, Toyota’s high-performance division, to deliver incredible agility as you navigate through the most technical track sections. The steering is precise and well-balanced while the brakes deliver impressive stopping power.
Redesigned Interior
Step into the GR86’s cockpit and you’ll be greeted with a stylish interior design and easy-to-use controls. You’ll love unique touches like the turbine-style air vents, available aluminum sport pedals, and a digital instrument panel that dramatically transforms as you shift from normal to track mode.
Deeply bolstered front sport seats provide plenty of support when you’re carving up the twisties and are available with two-stage heating and leather upholstery. Other welcome amenities include dual-zone automatic climate control, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror, and leather trimming on key touchpoints.
Upgraded Technology
The GR86 now comes standard with a larger 8-inch infotainment touchscreen that offers Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration and SiriusXM satellite radio. For added convenience, multimedia options can be accessed through steering wheel-mounted controls and available voice recognition. An enhanced listening experience comes from the car’s available 8-speaker audio system.
There’s also Toyota’s available Connected Services subscription, which lets you remotely check vehicle status reports, provides live traffic updates, and automatically alerts emergency services after an accident.
Having achieved icon status in the world of sports cars, the GR86 returns to provide drivers with even bigger thrills and a slew of convenient features. Even better, it’s still available for a great price! Contact us at DARCARS Toyota of Silver Spring to order your GR86 today!
