2026 Toyota GR86

The 2026 Toyota GR86 is a raw, rear-wheel-drive brawler that proves you don’t need a six-figure price tag to own the track. As your performance headquarters at Smart Toyota—located right here in Davenport—we know that Quad Cities drivers from Bettendorf and Eldridge to Moline and Rock Island crave a machine that talks back. The 2026 GR86 delivers with a legendary 2.4-liter boxer engine and a lightweight chassis that’s been dialed in for surgical precision. Whether you’re carving the backroads toward Clinton or unleashing its fury on a weekend track day, this is the analog thrill ride the Midwest has been waiting for.

Interior

Step inside the 2026 GR86 and you’ll find a driver-centric cockpit designed for pure combat. The cabin is anchored by a 7-inch reconfigurable digital gauge cluster with a dedicated "Track Mode" that puts your oil temp and G-forces front and center. Because we know Iowa summers and Illinois winters are relentless, the available heated Ultrasuede®-trimmed sport seats with leather bolsters keep you locked in place and comfortable during high-G maneuvers. New for 2026, the Yuzu Edition brings a punch of attitude with exclusive yellow interior stitching and accents. With an 8-inch touchscreen featuring Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, you have the tech you need without the distractions that get in the way of a perfect shift.

Exterior

The 2026 GR86 commands respect with a low-slung, wide-track silhouette that honors its AE86 bloodline. Its "Hammerhead" front fascia and functional air vents aren't just for show; they’re designed to channel airflow and keep the machine planted at speed. The head-turner for 2026 is the Yuzu Edition, finished in a vibrant, high-voltage Yuzu Yellow that screams for attention in downtown Davenport. Sitting on available 18-inch matte-black alloy wheels and featuring a signature duckbill rear spoiler, the GR86 projects an image of athletic aggression. Whether it’s parked at a local meet in East Moline or cruising through McClellan Heights, this car looks like it’s doing 100 mph even when it’s standing still.

Performance

Under the hood, the 2026 GR86 is powered by a formidable 2.4-liter naturally aspirated boxer engine, unleashing 228 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. This isn't just about the numbers; it’s about a 7,500-rpm redline and a 0-60 sprint in just 5.4 seconds (with the manual). For the purists, the 6-speed manual transmission features revised throttle mapping for easier "blipping," while the 6-speed automatic with paddle shifters offers lightning-fast response. For those who demand maximum grit, the available Performance Package adds Brembo® brakes and SACHS Dampers to tame the rough Midwest pavement with absolute authority. With a curb weight under 2,900 pounds, it’s a surgical instrument designed for those who know how to drive.

Safety Features

A true warrior always watches its six. Every 2026 GR86—regardless of transmission—now comes standard with a digital fortress of protection. This includes a Pre-Collision Braking System, Lane Departure Warning, and Adaptive Cruise Control to take the edge off the long haul through the Quad Cities. For those navigating the tight streets of Rock Island or Bettendorf, the available Blind Spot Detection and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert act as an extra set of eyes. It’s high-tech armor for a high-performance machine, giving you the confidence to push the limits safely while protecting your most precious cargo.
