Buying tip
features & specs
The 2025 Toyota Supra is agile, fast, and loads of fun, even though it speaks Japanese with a Bavarian accent.
What kind of vehicle is the 2025 Toyota Supra? What does it compare to?
The Supra is a two-seat sports car. Compare it to Toyota’s own 86, plus the Chevrolet Corvette, Porsche 718 Cayman, and the BMW Z4.
Is the 2025 Toyota Supra a good car?
The latest Supra is tremendously fun, but it’s not particularly practical and it has a stiff ride. It’s a 6.2 on the TCC scale. (Read more about how we rate cars.)
What's new for the 2025 Toyota Supra?
For 2025, the GR Supra drops the previously available turbo-4 option. The 3.0-liter turbo-6 sticks around, offering 382 hp via either a 6-speed manual or an 8-speed automatic transmission.
The Supra’s exterior styling lacks the finesse we came to expect of this nameplate back in the 1990s, but it’s certainly dramatic. There’s just so much going on, from the manic front fascia with myriad scoops and inlets to the choppy side profile. It’s a lot.
We like it better inside, where the cabin is appropriately Teutonic in its simplicity. That’s no accident since it’s a close cousin to the BMW Z4 with BMW components.
The Supra’s turbo-6 vaults it to 60 mph in the sub-four-second range, regardless of gearbox. Any pairing here is wonderful, but the manual is just so perfect in its snick-snick responses and its just-right clutch.
Supras ride firmly, but they’re not excessively harsh. Opt for a version with the available adaptive dampers and you’ll find a ride almost tolerable for daily driving; other Supras are perhaps a bit too firm for such duty. All Supras handle with aplomb, snaking through corners with unflappable poise. Sure, the steering could be a tad more communicative, but it’s very good. In contrast to the smaller, less powerful, but more agile 86, the Supra is a proper touring coupe ready to make mincemeat out of the pavement below.
Given its power output, the GR Supra is reasonably frugal. Figure as high as 26 mpg combined with the automatic, or an EPA-estimated 21 mpg combined with the manual.
The Supra’s trim cabin has comfortable seats, but little in the way of cargo space. Its materials and designs are straight out of the BMW parts bin, including an infotainment system with some Toyota graphics mixed in with BMW’s iDrive menus and center control knobs. It’s a good system, albeit one that has nothing to do with what’s used in the rest of the Toyota lineup.
Another BMW holdover is the fact that adaptive cruise control is optional here, while it’s standard on the rest of the Toyota lineup. Automatic emergency braking comes standard, at least.
How much does the 2025 Toyota Supra cost?
The Supra starts at $57,245, which buys a decent amount of features including 8.8-inch instrument cluster and touchscreen infotainment displays, synthetic suede upholstery, and basic crash-avoidance features.
Where is the 2025 Toyota Supra made?
In Graz, Austria, not too far from where the Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen is built. There’s your pub fact for the week.
2025 Toyota Supra Styling
The 2025 Toyota Supra’s busy exterior will garner plenty of attention.
Is the Toyota Supra a good-looking car?
Even though it’s now been around for over half a decade, the 2025 Toyota GR Supra manages to look fresh and interesting, if not exactly cohesive from every angle.
The Supra gets a 7 here, with one point each for its overt exterior and its tame interior.
Toyota previewed the Supra with the sublime, California-penned Lexus FT-1 show car back in 2014, but some of its elegance was lost in the transition to reality due mostly to a shorter wheelbase and overall length. The GR Supra has so many styling themes, starting with its gaping front fascia with conventional headlights over massive LED running lamps. Bulbous fender flares match the roof, which sits like a lumpy tophat over bodysides with seemingly unnecessary strakes. It’s neater and cleaner at the rear, even though there’s still too much going on.
Still, the Supra’s downright interesting. There’s nothing else quite like it. But it makes us miss the gorgeous, purposeful A80 model from the mid-1990s even more.
It’s another whole car inside, where the design, switchgear, and materials are all BMW rather than Toyota. You’ll find a high-mounted 8.8-inch touchscreen, a smattering of logically arrayed buttons and knobs, and muted hues (aside from the available tan upholstery) all straight out of BMW’s Munich operations. It’s among the dressiest interiors in the Toyota portfolio.
2025 Toyota Supra Performance
The 2025 Toyota Supra is a proper performance coupe.
The latest GR Supra is a lot of fun to drive. Its short wheelbase makes it nimble on an autocross course, its steering is quick, it accelerates quickly, and its 6-speed manual gearbox is at the top of its game. The Supra is a 9 here.
Is the Toyota Supra 4WD?
Nope. These are rear-wheel-drive coupes, albeit without the giddy tail happiness of the smaller GR 86.
How fast is the Toyota Supra?
It’s fast, that’s for sure. The Supra’s BMW-sourced turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-6 puts out 382 hp and 386 lb-ft of torque, good for a 3.9-second run to 60 mph. This smooth, silky engine reaches its torque peak at 1,600 rpm, which makes highway (or track) passing a cinch.
The 8-speed automatic transmission behaves wonderfully, with rapid-fire shifts even in Drive. Perfect paddle shifters work great on track or simply out on the open road. The top choice here is the 6-speed manual transmission, though, which has an ultra-slick operation and a just-right clutch pedal feel. The pedals are well spaced, too, for heel-toe shifting.
The electronic rear differential ensures that power is distributed in a predictable manner for slicing your way out of a corner. A tap of a button calls up Sport mode, which tightens up the steering and standard adaptive dampers, plus it sharpens throttle response.
Underneath, the Supra has double-jointed struts up front and a five-link rear suspension paired with firmly tuned springs. The standard adaptive dampers help cushion things a bit, but with standard 19-inch wheels wearing a narrow band of Michelin performance rubber, the Supra inevitably rides firmly. It’ll wear you out on a long roadtrip, but the Supra comes into its own on a winding road—or, better yet, a track.
Toyota also includes a free track day with purchase, and the automaker says its warranty covers use on a closed course.
2025 Toyota Supra Comfort & Quality
Practicality is not a strength of the 2025 Toyota Supra.
While comfortable enough for two, the 2025 Toyota Supra won’t accommodate much more than a meager grocery store run.
It’s a 4 here, with a point added for its comfy seats but two points removed for its trim cargo capacity and lack of rear seats.
The GR Supra has supportive, bolstered seats with generous 14-way power adjustments. Some drivers find the legs-out driving position to be a bit uncomfortable, and the low position makes climbing in and out particularly cumbersome even by sports car standards. The full leather trim and carbon-fiber bits on the top-end Premium trim impart a dressier feel, though all materials inside are in line with pricing.
Out back, the cargo area can hold up to 10.2 cubic feet of stuff, but the well and the opening are awkwardly designed. Two rollaboard suitcases will fit in a pinch, though.
2025 Toyota Supra Safety
The 2025 Toyota GR Supra has not been crash tested.
How safe is the Toyota Supra?
The Supra has yet to be crash tested by either the IIHS or the NHTSA, which isn’t unusual for a sporty car. Accordingly, we can’t assign it a score.
It comes with active lane control and automatic emergency braking, while models with the automatic transmission can also be equipped with adaptive cruise control, parking sensors, and rear cross-traffic alerts.
2025 Toyota Supra Features
The 2025 Toyota Supra got a lot more expensive this year.
The 2025 Toyota GR Supra lineup starts off at $57,245 for the base trim level. That’s a huge $10,000 hike over last year’s cheapest point of entry, but it also includes a lot more power since the formerly base turbo-4 has been dropped. The base Supra 3.0 has an 8.8-inch instrument cluster screen and a matching 8.8-inch touchscreen for infotainment, as well as keyless ignition, 18-inch alloy wheels, Apple CarPlay (but not Android Auto), and seats wrapped in synthetic leather and real leather upholstery.
It includes a 3-year/36,000-mile warranty, and Toyota kicks in two years of basic maintenance. All in, that’s not a bad buy. It’s a 6 on the TCC scale. Note that manual and automatic transmissions cost the same (go for the manual).
Which Toyota Supra should I buy?
Eh, the base model’s good enough for us. The Premium adds heated and leather-covered seats, a head-up display, 12 JBL speakers, wireless Apple CarPlay (but still no Android Auto), and beefier brakes for $60,395.
How much is a fully loaded Toyota Supra?
Dress up a Supra with the optional Driver Assist package that adds blind-spot monitors, adaptive cruise control, and rear cross-traffic alerts, and it’ll set you back around $62,500.
2025 Toyota Supra Fuel Economy
The 2025 Toyota Supra gets decent fuel economy for a sports car.
Is the Toyota Supra good on gas?
As a relatively small sports car, the 2025 Toyota Supra is fairly fuel efficient. It’s estimated as high as 23 mpg city, 31 highway, 26 combined with the available automatic transmission. The 6-speed manual checks in at just 19/27/21 mpg, though.
All Supra models need premium fuel. Note that the figures we’ve quoted are based on the 2024 model year.
