Toyota’s reputation for practicality is well-earned, but the brand also has a dynamic side. Leading this charge is the GR Supra, a bold two-door sports car built for pure driving enjoyment. Sharing much of its DNA with the BMW Z4 convertible—its production sibling—the Supra opts for a sportier, street-focused aesthetic.
Both vehicles are powered by a 382-hp turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine, as Toyota has discontinued the four-cylinder Supra for 2025. A rear-wheel-drive platform underpins the car, and enthusiasts will appreciate Toyota’s commitment to driving engagement, offering a six-speed manual transmission at no additional cost alongside the standard eight-speed automatic.
Inside, the cabin is well-constructed and functional, though many components are sourced from BMW. The snug interior reflects classic sports coupe proportions, yet most drivers can achieve a comfortable seating position with some adjustment—just pack light. The Supra shines on twisty back roads and occasional track days rather than long highway journeys. As one of the top contenders in its class, the Toyota GR Supra earns a spot on our Editors’ Choice list for 2025.
Pricing and Which One to Buy
The 2025 Toyota GR Supra is available with a starting price of $57,345, with the top trim reaching $60,495:
- 3.0 – $57,345
- 3.0 Premium – $60,495
With the four-cylinder no longer available, the six-cylinder Supra is now the sole option. The manual transmission, offered at no extra cost, enhances the Supra’s driving character and remains our preferred choice. Each GR Supra purchase includes a complimentary one-day high-performance driving experience and a one-year membership to the National Auto Sport Association.
Engine, Transmission, and Performance
With 382 horsepower, the turbocharged inline-six delivers thrilling performance, making it the only engine available for 2025. While the automatic transmission offers quicker acceleration, the manual transmission provides a more engaging driving experience. The Supra’s suspension is firm but forgiving enough for daily use, and its precise, well-weighted steering enhances the car’s fun-to-drive nature. However, we did note that our long-term GR Supra struggled with traction in snowy conditions.
Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
The Supra’s driver-centric cabin is compact, with a double-bubble roof providing slightly more headroom. Taller drivers may find it a tight fit, but standard 14-way power-adjustable seats help maximize available space. Cargo capacity is limited but practical for a sports coupe—the hatchback-style trunk accommodates a couple of carry-ons or a week’s worth of groceries for two. In testing, we managed to fit four carry-on suitcases behind the seats. Many interior components are borrowed from BMW, making the Supra familiar to those accustomed to the Z4’s switchgear and infotainment system.
Infotainment and Connectivity
The GR Supra features an 8.8-inch central display running a lightly customized version of BMW’s iDrive interface. A digital gauge cluster, with a unique design distinct from BMW models, comes standard. While Apple CarPlay and navigation are available, Android Auto is notably absent. Buyers can opt for a 12-speaker JBL premium sound system, though the standard 10-speaker system should suffice given the car’s small interior.
