Is the Toyota 86 Fuel Efficient?
2 Answers
Toyota 86 fuel consumption is 8.6-9.6 liters (per 100 kilometers). Here are the relevant details: 1. In terms of appearance, the 86 was designed by TOYOTA's European Design Center ED2 located in Nice, France, and it evolved from the FT-HS concept car released by Toyota in 2007, so the design style of the 86 has some European influences. However, in the overall feel, it is still clearly recognizable as a TOYOTA. 2. In terms of body dimensions, the 86 measures 4240mm in length × 1775mm in width × 1285mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2570mm, which is clearly a short-body, short-wheelbase design centered on handling. Such body dimensions and proportions help the 86 achieve a good weight distribution, thereby maintaining its most important handling characteristics. According to previously revealed configuration information, the new car will offer 7 body colors and 2 interior colors to choose from.
I've driven quite a few sports cars, and the Toyota 86 is one with average fuel consumption among the models I've experienced. According to official test data, its fuel consumption is around 8 to 9 liters per 100 kilometers in mixed driving conditions. In city traffic jams, it can easily spike above 10 liters, while highway cruising can bring it down to about 7 liters. The 86's 2.0-liter horizontally opposed engine is designed for driving pleasure, which means it lacks power at low RPMs, often requiring you to rev it higher—this is why it's a bit thirstier than your average family sedan. However, compared to other sports cars in its class, like the MX-5 or Subaru BRZ, it's not particularly fuel-hungry. Fuel consumption also depends on how you drive—the more aggressively you push it, the more fuel it will guzzle. For those considering buying an 86, I'd suggest first thinking about your daily driving frequency. If you're a weekend warrior, the extra fuel cost won't add up to much, and the driving pleasure is what really counts.
