The stiffness in the suspension ensures precision performance just like one would expect from a sports car.
Coming to its interior, the GR86 is functional and composed. The cabin gets noteworthy GR-inspired trims like GR leather-trimmed manual tilt/telescopic three-spoke steering wheel with contrast stitching, and GR Engine Start/Stop button, to name some of them. These special trims add a touch of exclusivity to the vehicle. The base GR86 variant gets sport front bucket seats with a GR-embossed design. The Premium variant takes it up a notch with two-stage heated front seats along with leather-trimmed bolsters and Ultrasuede® inserts. The GR86 is comfortable and balanced even with all the performance stats it holds.
Even with all the performance, it has to offer, the GR86’s interior offers a cozy and comfortable seating experience and the infotainment system works seamlessly as well.
