The Toyota GR86 is engineered to deliver a thrilling driving experience, and the interior cabin reflects this focus with a cockpit designed around the driver. Stepping inside the GR86, especially the TRUENO Edition, you’re immediately greeted by a low-slung, performance-oriented environment. The digital instrument panel provides essential driving information at a glance, while the push-button start adds a touch of modern convenience. The HVAC system features user-friendly LED dials and piano-key switches, blending functionality with a refined aesthetic. Drivers will appreciate the leather-wrapped steering wheel, complete with integrated controls for the audio system, keeping key functions accessible without taking hands off the wheel.
For those opting for the 6-speed automatic transmission in their Trueno 86 or other GR86 models, steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters are available, enhancing driver engagement and control. The driving dynamics can be further tailored with selectable driving modes, including Normal, Sport, and Snow. Engaging Sport mode sharpens the vehicle’s responses, as the transmission intelligently interprets brake and accelerator inputs, along with overall vehicle behavior, to automatically select the optimal gear for spirited driving. This intelligent system ensures that drivers have the control and responsiveness they desire when pushing the Trueno 86 to its limits.
The GR86 Trueno Edition, along with the Premium grade, comes equipped with an 8-inch touchscreen multimedia system paired with an upgraded eight-speaker audio system. The Base grade features the same 8-inch touchscreen but with a six-speaker system. Seating comfort and style are also prioritized across the GR86 range. The Premium grade, including the TRUENO Edition, boasts Ultrasuede® and leather-trimmed front seats with silver accents. These seats are six-way adjustable and include two-level heating for added comfort in colder climates. The Base grade features six-way adjustable black G-embossed fabric seats with sporty side bolsters, providing a balance of comfort and support. Rear seats in the Premium and TRUENO Edition are finished in Ultrasuede, while the Base grade utilizes sport fabric.
