Is the Toyota GR Supra a good first car?

If a first-time car buyer can afford the Toyota GR Supra and is happy with the space and comfort, the Japanese sports car is a good first car. However, we do recommend completing an advanced driving course as the model does have a powerful engine with high-performance figures.

Is the Toyota GR Supra a good family car?

Considering that the model only offers two seats and 320-litres of luggage space, it is not quite cracked up to be a good family car. 

 

Is there a Hybrid Toyota GR Supra?

At the time of writing this article, both derivatives of the Toyota GR Supra are powered by a 3.0-litre, turbocharged, 6-cylinder petrol engine capable of 250 kW and 500 Nm of torque. No plans to introduce a hybrid variant have been shared by Toyota as of yet.

What’s it like to drive? 

Reviewer's opinion

This is where the new Supra makes its strongest case, because it’s an absolute joy to drive. It’s actually strange that such an overtly sporty car could ride with such fluency when desired, but that just proves how well-calibrated the suspension tuning really is. Adaptive dampers obviously play their part here, but the basic setup strikes a near-perfect balance between comfort and composure anyway.

What does it look like?

Interior

What is the Toyota GR Supra like inside? 

The Toyota GR Supra is a sports car and should be taken as that, however, it returns a compliant drive while the seats are supportive yet comfortable. The interior is well specified with a mixture of leather and Alcantara trimmings with the odd dash of carbon fibre to match the character of the vehicle. Owners will also quickly not the clever and intuitive touchscreen infotainment system and digital instrument cluster as well as the head-up display which comes as standard on the higher specified GR Supra 3.0T derivative. 

Style

Upon closer inspection, Supra enthusiasts will quickly notice design choices that pay homage to the Mk IV Supra such as the headlamps and elongated taillamps and the general shape of the bonnet. There is also no doubt regarding the purpose of the GR Supra, especially when looking at the silhouette as the elongated bonnet and short boot and coupe configuration certainly make it a performance vehicle. While aesthetic considerations are very much subjective, the Toyota GR Supra demands attention from onlookers and it gets it.
