Toyota’s new “GR86” partial improvement 2023 model
TOYOTA GAZOO Racing made some improvements to the new “GR86”, started taking pre-orders on September 22, 2023, and released the car on November 1, 2023. In addition, a special edition vehicle commemorating the 40th anniversary of the AE86, the “RZ “40th Anniversary Limited”, will be sold in limited quantities of 200 units from around February 2024.
The EyeSight for manual transmission vehicles on the improved “GR86” model (Japan spec vehicle) is based on the EyeSight for automatic transmission vehicles on the “SUBARU BRZ”. It is equipped with pre-crash braking, cruise control with following function, lane departure and sway warning function, preceding vehicle departure notification function, and clearance sonar with rear sonar warning function. EyeSight is controlled according to the characteristics of manual transmission vehicles, and its high performance in collision avoidance, collision damage reduction, and driver load reduction realizes stable operation in various real-world scenes, achieving a high level of both driving enjoyment and peace of mind.
The new GR86 comes standard with a hands-free switch on the steering wheel, allowing hands-free calls while driving. In addition, a blind spot monitor is available as an additional option on the SZ grade and as standard on the RZ grade. In addition, the optimization of the VSC (Vehicle Stability Control) system has improved driving stability and safety performance when cornering.

A word from the editorial department
The GR86, along with Subaru’s BRZ, has been improved every year and is steadily evolving. The current model has been on the market since 2021, so it is now in its third year, but the previous model was sold from 2012 to 2021, so the current GR86 can still be considered an early model. We are looking forward to seeing it continue to evolve with annual improvements in the future.
