Toyota’s fifth-generation Supra has had a rocky road in terms of sales. Despite being a halo sports machine, it hasn’t achieved the success the company hoped for. In the first quarter of this year, Supra sales plummeted by 44 percent compared to the same period in 2023, with only 484 units sold. The competition, including Nissan’s more affordable and more powerful Z, has been outselling the Supra.
To address this, Toyota is making some changes for the 2025 model year. The most significant update is that every 2025 Toyota GR Supra will now come equipped with a 6-cylinder engine. Let’s dive into the details:
The Engine
The heart of the 2025 GR Supra is a 3.0-liter inline-6 turbocharged engine. This powerplant churns out an impressive 382 horsepower and 368 lb-ft of torque. Whether you opt for the manual transmission or the automatic, you’ll experience the thrill of those six cylinders firing in harmony.
Trim Levels
Toyota offers two trim levels for the 2025 GR Supra: the base 3.0 and the upmarket 3.0 Premium. Both trims are available with either the manual or automatic transmission. The 3.0 Premium, as the name suggests, comes with additional features and a higher price tag.
Exterior and Interior
The 2025 GR Supra is available in four striking colors: Stratosphere Blue, Absolute Zero White, Nocturnal Black, and Renaissance Red 2.0. Inside, you can choose between black leather or hazelnut leather upholstery. The latter, in particular, looks quite appealing.
Pricing
With the discontinuation of the four-cylinder model, the starting price for the GR Supra 3.0 has jumped nearly ten thousand dollars to $56,250. The 3.0 Premium, with its added features, will set you back $59,400. However, when compared to competitors like the 400-horsepower Nissan Z ($42,970) and the 486-hp 5.0-liter Mustang ($42,460), the Supra still faces a tough sell among enthusiasts.
The Alternative: GR86
If you’re seeking a sporty Toyota that won’t break the bank, consider the GR86. Although it doesn’t pack as much power as the Supra, it’s more nimble and fun to drive. Plus, with a starting price of $29,300, the GR86 is outselling the Supra five to one.
