Our analysis

The 2025 Toyota GR86 belongs to the Small cars class. This class has an above-average driver death rate compared with the national average of 38 deaths per million registered vehicle-years, which usually reflects lighter weight and smaller size in multi-vehicle crashes. The class figure is adjusted for driver age and sex, which removes a large part of the selection effect in raw death rates. It is still a class average, not a measurement of this model.

The Toyota GR86 has no IIHS Top Safety Pick award for 2025. That can mean a result below the award threshold in one test, or tests IIHS has not completed. Absence of an award is not evidence that the vehicle is unsafe.

Across the 3 IIHS rating categories reported, the Toyota GR86 earned 2 Good ratings. One result sits below Good; the verdict at the top of the page names it.
