Comparison: 2022 Toyota GR86 vs 2022 Mazda MX-5 Miata / Battle of the Affordable Sports Cars
- 2 years ago
The last Toyota GT86 (Scion FRS / Subaru BRZ) felt underpowered and was one of the biggest criticisms of the car. This new GR86 addresses that by giving drivers a bigger and more powerful engine. It has a 2.4L flat-4 boxer engine that was developed with Subaru and this new engine produces a healthy 228 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque (170 kW & 249 Nm). The 0-100 km/h time (62 mph) is down to the 5.5 second mark. This is the engine that the Toyota 86/FRS should have always had.
2022 doesn’t see any changes to the engine. The MX-5 is still powered by a 2.0L naturally aspirated 4-cylinder that can produce 181 hp and 151 lb-ft of torque (135 kW & 205 Nm). The engine is able to accelerate the car from a stop to 100 km/h in around 5.7 seconds.
The 2022 Toyota GR86 starts at just $31,490 CAD ($27,700 USD) with the 6-speed manual transmission. This particular vehicle is the Premium GR86 which will set you back $34,490 CAD ($30,300 USD). The automatic version will cost an additional $2,400 CAD ($1,500 USD).
The 2022 Mazda MX-5 soft-top starts at a very reasonable $33,300 CAD ($27,650 USD). But from then on, things get expensive. This GS-P trim (MX-5 Club as it's known in the US) costs $37,300 CAD ($31,150 USD) but it doesn’t feel complete without the Sport Package which will cost you an additional $4,400 CAD ($4,470 USD). When it’s all said and done, a properly equipped Mazda MX 5 GS-P with the Sport package can cost as much as $50,000 CAD with taxes & fees in. That’s a lot especially considering that a fully loaded Toyota GR86 2022 is $10,000 CAD less (taxes & fees included).
