Which 2027 Toyota GR86 trim fits Atlanta drivers?

For the lowest Toyota-published price, Atlanta buyers start with the GR86, and for the added equipment they choose the GR86 Premium. Pick the automatic if your week is mostly commuting and the manual if you want to shift yourself; both are offered in each trim.

At World Toyota, 5800 Peachtree Blvd, Atlanta, GA 30341, we sell new Toyota, including the 2027 GR86 in both grades.

Keep reading below, then schedule a test drive in Atlanta. Bringing your own numbers to the lot settles this faster than any spec sheet.

Atlanta drivers pick the 2027 GR86 for price, the Premium for equipment

The base GR86 is the lowest-priced way into the 2027 model, with a manual starting at $31,500 (Toyota, 2027). The GR86 Premium starts at $34,400 with a manual (Toyota, 2027). Choose the base car for its price, and choose the Premium for its equipment.

If the Premium’s added equipment matters more to you than the entry price, the Premium is the grade to start with. If the budget is the first question, the base GR86 keeps the number lower. Both grades are sold new at our store on Peachtree Boulevard.

What does each 2027 GR86 trim cost from Toyota?

Toyota’s 2027 starting prices are for the manual. The automatic prices below are Toyota’s 2026 figures.

Every trim comes in both transmissions. A buyer who wants the Premium can choose the automatic ($35,200 in 2026) or the manual at $34,400, so the transmission and the trim are two separate decisions. Start with the trim you want, then choose the transmission that fits how you drive.

What will a 2027 GR86 cost out the door in Georgia?

Georgia does not charge a sales tax on a titled vehicle. It charges Title Ad Valorem Tax (TAVT) instead, at 7.0% of the fair market value of the vehicle, paid once when the vehicle is titled (Georgia Department of Revenue, 2026). That is the number to plan for rather than a monthly sales tax.

The tax base is larger than the sticker price. The Department says the retail selling price includes charges for delivery, freight, doc fees, and other such fees, so a dealer doc fee is part of what gets taxed (Georgia Department of Revenue, TAVT FAQ, 2026).

On a Premium with a manual at its $34,400 starting MSRP, 7.0% is $2,408 in TAVT, and any doc fee adds to the taxable price. Add the state’s $20 plate fee for a regular passenger car (Georgia Department of Revenue, Motor Vehicle Division, 2026), and the costs beyond the sticker are concrete before you sign.

What does the 2027 GR86 Premium add over the base GR86?

Both grades use the same engine. Toyota says the 2027 GR86 comes in the base and Premium grades with the same 2.4-liter four-cylinder boxer engine, and Toyota’s 2026 figures rate it at 228 horsepower and 184 lb.-ft. of torque (Toyota USA Newsroom, 2026). The grade you pick does not change what is under the hood.

The difference is in the cabin and the equipment. Toyota describes the base interior this way: “The base grade comes equipped with six-way adjustable black GR-embossed fabric seats with sport fabric side bolsters” (Toyota USA Newsroom, 2026).

If you want a particular seat or wheel on the car, check the Premium’s trim list when you price one with us. The equipment is what you pay the step-up for, so confirm each item before you choose.

How do the 2027 GR86 manual and automatic compare?

The manual is the choice for a driver who wants to shift gears. The automatic is the choice for a driver whose week is mostly commuting, where the car spends a lot of time in traffic and the gear changes are the chore. BuyaToyota.com lists the automatic for both grades (BuyaToyota.com, 2027), so the automatic is a real option on either trim, not a special order.

Pick the transmission first if you already know how you drive. If you commute most days and want the car to do the shifting, the automatic is the one to choose.

What does the 2027 GR86 Performance Package add?

The Performance Package is an upgrade for the car you already have in mind. CarsDirect describes it as combining 18-inch black alloy wheels with Brembo brakes and SACHS dampers (CarsDirect, 2026). It is the hardware for harder driving, and it is priced separately on each trim.

MotorTrend says the package suits drivers who plan harder use: “Enthusiasts planning harder use should also consider the available Performance Package, which adds Brembo brakes and Sachs dampers for $2,020 on the base trim, and $1,500 on the GR86 Premium” (MotorTrend, 2026). Choose the package if you plan to push the car on track or on winding roads. If the car is mainly for daily driving, the package is a choice you can skip.

Who needs more room than the 2027 GR86 offers?

The GR86 is a 4-seat coupe, with 6.3 cubic feet of trunk space (Car and Driver, 2027). It fits two adults comfortably in the front and suits a driver who mostly drives alone or with one passenger. If you need regular seating for passengers in the back, the GR86 is not the car to choose.

For more seats and cargo room, start with the Corolla Cross, which seats five (Toyota, 2026). The 2027 Corolla Cross L 2WD offers 46.9 cubic feet of cargo space behind the front row (Car and Driver, 2027).
