Meet the 2027 Toyota GR86 in Augusta, GA

2027 Toyota GR86 Features Review in Augusta, GA

The 2027 Toyota GR86 gives Augusta, GA, drivers a compact rear-wheel-drive sports coupe built around direct responses, balanced handling, and driver involvement. At Milton Ruben Toyota, shoppers can choose between two trims: GR86 and GR86 Premium. Both offer the same core performance formula, while the Premium adds comfort, styling, and driver-assistance upgrades. A naturally aspirated boxer engine, available manual or automatic transmission, low seating position, and performance-tuned chassis make the GR86 a compelling choice for drivers who would rather enjoy the road than simply get through the commute.

Below, see how the two trims compare across interior comfort, exterior design, performance, technology, and safety before scheduling a test drive at Milton Ruben Toyota.
