The brilliant sporty coupe from Toyota, the GR86, is very affordable, but the 2024 ecological penalty of 60,000 euros literally kills it.
The intention is well-meaning: Toyota is offering its latest units of the fantastic GR86 coupe available in stock starting at €33,900. For a 235-horsepower toy that’s so fun, reliable, and enjoyable, it’s hard to find a better deal. But the enthusiasm doesn’t catch on. How could it, otherwise?
With 200 g of CO2 emitted per kilometer, the small 2.4-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder consumes 8.8 liters of SP98 per 100 km. In 2024, these figures are outdated, and the ecological penalty is set to crush the last affordable small sports cars.
Until the end of 2023, the French government limited the excess cost of the penalty to 50% of the vehicle’s sale price. In the case of the Toyota GR86, this amount was €16,950. Had the GR86 been more expensive, its 200 g of CO2 would have cost up to €21,966 at worst. But this cap was lifted in 2024, and now the penalty follows a very strict scale.
CHECK THE 2024 ECOLOGICAL PENALTY SCALE
This means that for the Toyota GR86, this penalty is nearly twice the initial price of the car: €60,000. An increase of €43,050 since January 1, 2024. For a car sold at €33,900, it no longer makes sense. Might as well have the political courage to ban this kind of automobile, right?
