Our Opinion - 2026 Toyota GR Supra Review As a sports car, the GR Supra roadster does exactly what it sets out to do. The GR Supra is all about performance and getting the driver involved. It has a rakish double-bubble roof, sculpted sides and back, and a standard 382-horsepower inline six-cylinder engine with a six-speed manual gearbox. The Supra was built at the same time as the BMW Z4 convertible. Its sleek shape gives it a more modern and sporty look than the Bavarian model, but most of its technical parts and engine are shared with the BMW. Most drivers will find the room inside to be enough, but bigger drivers may feel squished. This is also true for similar cars like the Nissan Z and Lotus Emira. Those gymnastics will be forgotten as soon as the road opens up, your eyes find the next turn, and you tap into the huge power for some motorized me time. This is true even if you have to fold yourself awkwardly to get into the Supra. What's New? After the GR Supra 3.0 and 3.0 Premium models, the GR Supra MkV Final Edition will come out in 2026. The MkV Final Edition is different from its siblings in a number of ways. It has bigger Brembo brake discs, stronger suspension bushings, a special tune for adaptive dampers, and better differential mapping. A gloss-finished carbon fiber ducktail rear spoiler, carbon fiber mirror caps, new 19-inch matte black wheels, the word “GR” stitched on the driver’s seat, red seatbelts, and accent stitching are some of the changes to the outside. The MkV Final Edition also comes with a cover for your car. Pros and Cons Pros A strong drivetrain. That comes with a map. Affordably priced sports cars. Cons Tendency to move too much. The house looks small because the roof isn’t very high. The MKV Supra model’s last year on the market. Engine, Transmission, and Performance It will be the only engine choice until 2026, and no one has ever questioned how well its 382-hp turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine works. Even better, all of them, even the new MkV Final Edition, come with either an eight-speed automatic or a six-speed manual transmission. Even if the automatic is faster, numbers can’t fully capture how exciting and rewarding it is to drive a car with a manual gearbox and rear-wheel drive. The GR Supra’s suspension is soft enough that it can be driven every day, even though it can go fast. The straight, accurate, and well-weighted steering makes driving it a great experience. The only problem we found with our long-term GR Supra was how easy it was for it to get stuck in the snow, even with winter tires on. Safety Toyota’s GR Supra series contains various driver-assistance systems as standard, including automated emergency braking. With the optional Driver’s Assist package, you can get extra features like adaptive cruise control and blind-spot tracking. Visit the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) websites to learn more about the GR Supra’s crash test findings. The following are important safety features: Typical automated emergency braking recognizes people. Normal warning for leaving your lane. Automatic highlights come as standard. Internal and External Cargo Capacity The double-bubble canopy gives taller drivers a little more headroom, but the driver-focused cabin will still feel tight for them. The 14-way power-adjustable seats that come standard help make the most of the small room. Even though the hatchback opens to a small luggage area, it can fit a lot of carry-on bags or enough food for two people for a week. We were able to fit four pieces of carry-on luggage under the back seats while we were trying. Even though the Toyota’s interior looks nothing like the Z4’s, it shares a lot of hardware with it, so people who are used to BMW infotainment controls and buttons will feel right at home. Fuel Economy and Actual MPG If you drive an automatic, the GR Supra 3.0 gets 22 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway. If you drive a manual, it gets 19 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway. For a sports car, these gas mileage numbers are pretty good. The 2020 Supra we used for a long time got 36 mpg on our 75 mph highway fuel economy test route, even though it only had 335 horsepower. That number can be reached with the present model. Infotainment and Connectivity The GR Supra’s 8.8-inch center display features a slightly modified version of BMW’s latest iDrive interface. All of the models have a digital gauge panel that looks different from the Bimmers. You can use Apple CarPlay and Navigation, but not Android Auto. The GR Supra’s interior is very small, so the 10-speaker JBL sound system in the base 3.0 will be enough for most buyers. A 12-speaker system comes standard on the 3.0 Premium and higher, though. A head-up display comes with the 3.0 Premium and MkV Final Edition. All of them, except for the base 3.0 with automatic drive, can be charged wirelessly. Range, Charging, and Battery Life With a manual gearbox, the current six-cylinder Supra with 382 hp can go from 0 to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds. It’s interesting to note that the C/D version with an automatic transmission hit 60 mph in 3.7 seconds in 2020, even though the six-cylinder Supra had 47 fewer horsepower than it does now. The manual, on the other hand, makes driving a lot more fun and interesting. We also drove a 2023 Toyota Supra 3.0 as part of a 0-to-150-to-0 speed test. It stopped from a standing start in 31.1 seconds with smooth, controlled brakes. Price and How to Choose The 2026 Toyota GR Supra could cost anywhere from $58,035 to $69,085, depending on the options and specs. We’ve always liked the base 3.0 trim the most, but the “Final Edition” makes us think that the GR Supra won’t be around for much longer. Because of this, buying the MkV Final Edition is a great idea if you can afford it. Without a doubt, get the manual gear, no matter what trim level you choose.
