Which Toyota model has a manual transmission?
In 2025, the Toyota models that currently offer a manual transmission are the GR86 and the GR Corolla in the United States; in other markets, the GR Yaris also uses a manual gearbox.
Current manual-equipped Toyota models in the United States
Two models in the U.S. market provide a manual transmission, both under Toyota's GR performance banner.
- GR86 — A rear-wheel-drive sports coupe powered by a 2.4-liter flat-four; available with a 6-speed manual (with an automatic option on some trims).
- GR Corolla — A high-performance hatchback with a turbocharged 1.6-liter three-cylinder and all-wheel drive; offered exclusively with a 6-speed manual transmission.
These two cars showcase Toyota's current emphasis on driver engagement within its GR lineup, giving enthusiasts a hands-on shifting experience.
Global landscape: manual transmissions outside the United States
Beyond the U.S., Toyota maintains manual options in select regional models. The most notable is the GR Yaris (sold as Yaris GR in several markets), which comes with a 6-speed manual and all-wheel drive. The GR86, known as the Toyota 86 in some regions, is also offered with a 6-speed manual in many countries. The GR Supra, by contrast, is not available with a manual transmission in the current generation.
- GR Yaris (Yaris GR in some markets) — 6-speed manual, turbocharged 1.6L three-cylinder; all-wheel drive; designed for performance and homologation purposes.
- GR86 / Toyota 86 — 6-speed manual widely available in global markets; rear-wheel drive; part of the same GR family as the US-spec GR86.
Taken together, Toyota’s manual-transmission offerings remain concentrated on GR performance models, with the two core U.S. options (GR86 and GR Corolla) supported by regional variants like the GR Yaris elsewhere.
Summary
As of 2025, Toyota’s manual-transmission lineup is narrow but active. In the United States, the GR86 and GR Corolla are the primary models offering a manual gearbox, while globally the GR Yaris provides a regional manual option. The GR Supra remains automatic-only in the current generation. Prospective buyers should check local dealer listings for availability by trim and year, as transmissions can vary by market and model refresh.
