Toyota Japan has updated its offering of the rear-wheel-drive sports coupe model Toyota GR86 for the 2025 model year with the anticipated upgrades for its enthusiasts.

Compared to the previous GR86, Toyota claims the 2025 model is able to offer sharper handling and a more connected driving feel with the road.

 

 

Based on input obtained from racing circuits, Toyota has retooled the characteristics of the suspension system and the Electric Power Steering (EPS) control of this vehicle for more precise response and control without sacrificing stability.

For the manual transmission model, the traction control has been recalibrated to facilitate throttle blipping, in addition to offering smoother traction control response.

Toyota engineers also adjusted the engine speed tolerance aspect on the automatic transmission-equipped GR86 for a more sporty driving experience based on feedback from customers involved in motorsports.

Furthermore, the Toyota GR86 2025 has been updated with new features such as tire pressure warning system and Daytime Running Lights (DRL).

 

 

For those seeking something more exclusive, Toyota Japan has introduced the GR86 “RZ Ridge Green Limited” edition, limited to just 200 units.

It features an exclusive green color on the exterior, 18-inch silver-colored rims, Brembo vented brake rotors, SACHS shock absorbers, two-tone black/tan leather and suede upholstery, as well as special embroidery on the door panel.

The Toyota GR86 Ridge Green Limited edition is priced starting from ¥3,897,000 (RM114,560) and can only be purchased through a lucky draw system, with applications closing on July 28.

Those who miss out can still get the standard Toyota GR86 with a starting sales price of ¥3,195,000 (RM93,923) for the manual version, while the automatic version starts from ¥3,293,000 (RM96,804).
