The 2025 Toyota Supra we have two main changes to talk about here. The first one is the base 4-cylinder turbocharged engine is no longer going to be an option. Your only engine is going to be that b58 turbo 3L inline 6 with 382 horsepower and 368 lbet of torque. They are still going to offer the six-speed manual for 2025 with that inline six, but you can also get the 8-speed automatic as well, which does pair nicely with that b-58.
There are rumors that this could be the final model year for the Supra. If you have feelings about the discontinuation of the 4-cylinder, share them in the comments below.
Personally, having driven both models, I would go for the inline-6 without hesitation. The 4-cylinder was decent, but the six-cylinder truly completes the Supra experience. Many owners who chose the 4-cylinder have reported no regrets, appreciating the lower price point it offered.
I haven’t tried the manual transmission myself, but owners who have say they enjoy it. So, if it’s available and you prefer a manual, go for it.
There’s nothing wrong with the 8-speed automatic either; it’s a perfect match for the B58 inline-6. Toyota claims the automatic can achieve 0-60 mph in 3.9 seconds, while the manual does it in 4.2 seconds. However, fuel economy drops a bit with the manual, getting 19 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway, compared to 21 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway with the 8-speed automatic.
Another change for 2025 is an increase in MSRP by about $800 to $900 for both the base Supra 3.0 and the 3.0 Premium. This hike is frustrating because there aren’t any significant new features. What’s even crazier is that blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert are still not standard, even in 2025. You have to pay an additional $1,200 for the driver assist package, which is absurd for a nearly $60,000 car.
Fully equipped, the Supra 3.0 Premium will set you back over $60,000 with destination fees included. If you’re considering a Supra, I recommend the Premium model for its added benefits: wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless phone charger, heads-up display, full leather upholstery, and the JBL 12-speaker 500W audio system. Plus, buying a Supra comes with a one-year membership to the National Auto Sport Association.
Is it worth it? If you’re set on a Supra, consider getting the 2024 model to save on the extra cost with no real enhancements in the 2025 version.
As for my opinion on the Supra, I love it. It’s a masterfully tuned sports car that’s a blast on back roads. The handling is superb. However, some might find the BMW M2 a better option for around $66,000. The M2 offers more power and being a BMW, it can be serviced at any BMW dealership.
Supra owners have reported issues getting their cars serviced at Toyota dealerships because, in essence, the Supra is a BMW Z4 modified by Toyota. Toyota mechanics might not be as familiar with it. Plus, BMW offers three years of free maintenance compared to Toyota’s two years.
Another point to consider is pricing. You might get about 4% off MSRP on a BMW M2, while Supras often sell at sticker price. Weigh the pros and cons. While I prefer the Supra for its tuning, steering, and overall feel, the M2 is a solid competitor.
