2025 Model Updates vs. 2024
What’s New in the 2025 Toyota GR86?
At Route 22 Toyota, we’re thrilled about what the 2025 GR86 brings to the table especially if you love spirited driving. Toyota made subtle but meaningful updates this year that sharpen the GR86’s edge without taking away what makes it so much fun.
Sharper Handling, More Control
You’ll notice the difference the moment you take a turn. The shocks have been retuned and the electric power steering refined especially in manual models to give you tighter, more confident cornering and a quicker throttle response. It’s all about precision and feel.
Upgraded Brakes on Special Editions
Want even more performance? Toyota’s limited-edition trims like the Hakone and Yuzu Edition take things up a notch with Brembo brakes and Sachs performance dampers the kind of hardware that’s built for carving up twisty roads or track days.
Two Unique New Looks
- The Hakone Edition brings a deep Ridge Green finish, bronze wheels, and an exclusive interior that feels as sporty as it looks.
- The Yuzu Edition is bold and bright, with eye-catching yellow paint and a performance package that backs up its attitude.
These are the kinds of upgrades that show Toyota is listening to enthusiasts and we think drivers here in Hillside will love what they’ve done.
