See what’s changed between the first and second generation Toyota 86/GT86/GR86 in this side by side comparison.
20222016
The new Toyota GR 86 (and the Subaru BRZ) share the same RWD platform as the OG models, but have a slightly longer wheelbase and a lower roof.
20222016
The new front is cleaner with simpler and sportier grille and bumper design. The new headlamps are nice too.
20222016
Every exterior panel is different, and the front fenders have a large vertical vent to emphasize power!
20222016
The rear has a more dynamic design that's also more anonymous (if that makes sense).
20222016
It's mainly down to the new tail-lights, which is a bland. You probably don't need the diffuser, but it's there (again).
20222016
The dashboard is all new, and probably has better materials, but the design is still ugly. The infotainment does support Apple CarPlay and Android Auto (finally). There's also digital instruments and steering wheel buttons (yes, finally!!)
20222016
The engine has grown from 2L to 2.4L. The means more power and (more importantly) more torque. It's still a boxer too, which is good.
