The 2017 Toyota 86 facelift has finally been unveiled, and will make its debut at the 2016 New York International Auto Show soon. It’s quite a major update, this, featuring exterior and interior changes, along with engine and suspension upgrades.
On the front, it takes on a more fluid, aggressive styling with new headlamp graphics and a heavily reshaped bumper. The 86 logo now appears on the front fenders (no longer on the side vents) and there are new LED headlights. A more angular rear bumper, LED taillights and new-design wheels complete the visual makeover.
Inside, changes are limited to a new steering wheel (now with audio controls), soft-touch “Grandlux” material on the instrument panel surround and door cards and contrasting silver stitching on the seats. The original wheel looks like this.
What’s even more interesting, perhaps, can’t be seen in photos. “Enhanced control and agile performance” is promised though revised spring and dampers, while the manual version (with revised ratios) gets more power and torque. Outputs are now rated at 205 hp and 214 Nm, compared to the current 200 hp and 205 Nm. A Hill Start Assist Control (HAC) feature is also new.
In the US, the new model will replace the Scion FR-S, as the spin-off brand is put to rest. Meanwhile, the Scion iM and iA models will soon be rebranded as the Toyota Corolla iM and Yaris iA over there.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
OMG……214nm lol.
Currently all new engine with 240-250Nm@1500 rpm
That’s very GOOD news for GT86 endeavors
When the proton fans can’t afford this 86, they simply pretend Toyota has no sport cars. Why this 86 so expensive in Malaysia, thanks to Proton’s protection!
Toyota 86 no doubt a good car, however you have tarnish the brand by humiliating other brands, cheat on RV and since you are sales man at Toyota, people avoid giving you the business.
77% sales drop, u still wanna break ur rice bowl by trolling here kah?
Civic 10th gen hatch back is a better buy. Cheaper yet more stylish. Sadly Nissan don’t have any contender in this segment.
Proton has not related to that Toyota 87 Sam, don’t simply judge other car price hike is proton’s fault. Blame gov and not carmaker. I drive proton and that 86 price I can afford very well honestly. Just that I don’t feel want to own 86 at the moment.
If you needs more torque there’s option going to Subaru force-induction package
Mazda MX5 can run rings around this car.
and this can’t?
This facelift can pass. Better buy current version and install header and pipe to get the burp burp boxer noise with at least 5hp and 5Nm increased.
no matter what, this car will still be on the list of “want” cars of many people….don let it die toyota
Wasting time, need more power at lower RPM.
This is only state of art if it is launched 15 years ago.
Looks nice but damn it sounds slow lol
This isn’t good news for Toyota. They are still going to sell the same vehicle 5 years after it was launched. Hopefully the new gearbox would be better at engaging cold than the current one. HAC is only required for drivers who don’t use heel-toe. What are LED headlights? The current models use LED DLR, HID low beam and Halogen main beam(high beam). I don’t think that is accurate as LEDs are never used as the low beam headlights (only halogen, xenon, HID and laser are used).
hill assist would replace the handbrake, not any heel and toe would it not?
and i think you have your low beam and high beam confused. many manufacturers have moved to low beam led. laser that you mentioned has been used for high beam.
Hi there, the car still has to have E-brake, Hill start assist bassically means that you wont need to put as much effort while starting on a hill or slope, if you live in a mountainside. So E-brake would still be in use in manual trans vehicles. Hope this helps. :) regaurds. .
bro theres plenty of cars that uses LED’s for their low beams..hrv,accord,facelifted 5 series,latest mercs..however HID still has the output in terms of lumens
Always like the concept look. This is overdone.
250Nm is the minimum, otherwise, again a sportskura-kura.
86k i will consider to buy, hahaha
this car and brz are better car to buy than overpriced lotus
Both are sports kura kura. Avoid at all cost.
At last they changed the steering wheel. The old one looks like some old momo I used to.
the front finally looks better now
power bump is too little and won’t feel anything.
toyota better go back to the drawing board.
really takut to drive this car out on a normal road, ppl otr want to challenge all the times, but i know my muscle just for show only.. unless on a proper track day I more confident to accept challenge..
Hi all, can i roughly to know that when will this coming to malaysia? Anyone any ideas lol? or it wont ? have to special order?
