Toyota Drops Enticing 2025 GR86 Lease Deal For August originally appeared on Autoblog.
Toyota’s iconic enthusiast offering gets a little more enticing to lease
The Toyota GR86 is one of the most affordable driver-centric cars currently on the market, and its August lease deal reflects that. For August, qualified shoppers can enjoy Toyota’s entry-level sports car for just $465 per month with $3,115 due at signing. The 36-month term allows for 12,000 miles annually, and includes ToyotaCare scheduled maintenance for two years or 25,000 miles, whichever comes first. Note that this estimate doesn’t include local taxes, fees, and other charges that might impact your payment.
What does a $0 down lease look like on the GR86?
We know what a lease looks like with some money down, but what if you don’t want to part with your $3,115 when you take your GR86 home? We can spread that figure across the 36-month term for a rough idea of what a Toyota GR86 lease looks like in August with nothing down. It works out to an additional $86.53 on top of the monthly payment, bringing the new total to $551.53. Remember, this figure also excludes taxes and fees, so your payment will probably be higher. Check with your ZIP code on Toyota’s website to discover the most current and applicable Toyota GR86 deals and incentives.
More about the Toyota GR86
The Toyota GR86 is an approachable sports car that offers high excitement with few frills. The recipe is simple and delicious: a standard six-speed manual transmission, Torsen limited-slip differential, and a Subaru-sourced 2.4-liter boxer four-cylinder engine making 228 horsepower. While you could, theoretically, also get an 86 with an automatic transmission, we think that’s kind of missing the point and also costs a little bit of extra dough. That, again, is part of the car’s charm, as the Toyota GR86 starts at a meager $30,400.

It's also worth mentioning that, at this price point, there is really only one competitor: the Mazda Miata, which has arguably been the definition of “affordable sports car” for decades. The two share a lot of driving characteristics and offer similar running gear, with base MSRPs only being separated by around $1,000. The Toyota GR86 makes more power but weighs around 400 pounds more. Of course, the Toyota GR86 is also a coupe with a real roof as opposed to the open-top Miata. No bad choices here; just a matter of taste.
Final thoughts
While the GR86 isn’t really very fast by modern standards, it’s one of the most authentic driving experiences available in today’s marketplace. That alone makes it worth considering, especially if you’re at all concerned with how your car drives. A cramped backseat and trunk make it a dubious choice for those looking to haul additional people or cargo. That said, it makes a great weekend driver, and you could probably cut down the monthly payment by reducing your annual miles, making it a somewhat affordable weekend cruiser (or potentially track toy). Enthusiast-centric cars with a warranty don’t get much better — or affordable — than this.
