Toyota 86 in more detail

More detailed context

What stands out

At around 28,000, the Toyota 86 offers good value in its segment, pairing AWD traction with 200 hp and a 0–100 time of 7.4 seconds.

A 5-star safety rating and a reliability score of 82 support confident daily use.

Everyday practicality

With seating for four and a 237-liter trunk, it handles light travel and weekend plans, though cargo-heavy use will feel tight.

Combined consumption of 8.6 helps keep running costs predictable and efficient for its class.

Performance and confidence

AWD adds grip in varying conditions, supporting performance driving without sacrificing control.

A top speed of 226 is more than sufficient for highway use, even if straight-line acceleration isn’t class-leading.
