New 2022 Toyota 86 Turbo Price, Interior, Dimensions – The 2022 Toyota 86 is widely regarded as Toyota’s return to form. It belongs to a select group of modern cars that are both affordable and offer a pure driving experience. The 86 shares turf with its Subaru cousin, BRZ, due to Honda’s withdrawal from the market. They compete for the top spot in the affordable rear-wheel-drive thrills category with the Fiat 124 Spider and convertible Mazda MX-5 Miata. The 86, however, is practical and has token rear seats. The 86’s 2.0-liter Boxer four-cylinder engine, which is naturally aspirated, produces 205 horsepower, but that’s the only problem. Are the coupe’s lack of power justified by its playful chassis or are they simply a step away from perfect? To find out, we received a Hakone Edition for just a few days.
2022 Toyota 86 Redesign
Exterior And Interior Design
The 86 is a beautiful vehicle with a curvaceous wheel arch, a short trunk, and a long hood. The front features LED headlights with DRLs and LED headlights. The rear has a more round style but still retains the shark-like look. The twin-exit exhaust is enclosed within a fake diffuser. All models except the base gain a spoiler and LED fog light. Standard wheels are 17 inches. GT models have 18 inches. Bronze wheels and a unique paint choice make the Hakone Edition stand out. The upper pair receives front foglights as well as a spoiler for the rear decklid.
The 2022 Toyota 86 sports car is compact and has small dimensions. The total length of the car is 166.7 inches and its wheelbase is 101.2 inches. The width measures just 69.9 in across. The height is 52 inches. The curb weight can vary depending on trim and transmission. However, even the heaviest model, an automatic Hakone weighs only 2,841 lbs. Predictably, the lightest model is the base model with a manual transmission. It weighs in at 2,776 lbs.
The interior of the Toyota 86 is not extravagant. It’s quite bland with many hard plastics that look like brushed aluminum. The positive side is that everything is ergonomically designed and the driving position is perfect. However, heated seats or dual-zone climate control can only be obtained by upgrading from the base model. Although it is very intuitive, the standard seven-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto is a welcomed addition. The interior design budget was robbed of the time and money spent on the chassis.
2022 Toyota 86 Engine
The 2022 Toyota 86 is a joy to drive on twisty roads. The 2022 Toyota 86 has the best positive steering feel available. It also features a quick-ratio steering system that is precise and sharp mechanically. The combination of the taut chassis and the quick steering makes changes in direction as easy as possible. The frame is stable through corners, even with heavy hands, and can eat up transitions to the next curve. The chassis balance is neutral, so oversteer will not be a problem when driving on the edge. Oversteer is a gradual and controlled shift that you can feel as the back tires slide out. Long, controlled slides can be achieved by the enthusiast driver while performing a backroad ballet.
The 86’s 2.0-liter Boxer four-cylinder engine, which is naturally aspirated, produces 205 horsepower, but that’s the only problem. Its backroad abilities come at a price that many will gladly pay for pure driving enjoyment. The 86 has very little driver assistance for dealing with morning and evening traffic. There is also minimal sound deadening to keep the chassis from letting in road noises. The ride quality is an area that you might expect a car that handles so well would suffer. However, the ride is firm but not harsh.
