What features does the Toyota Supra get?

The 2024 Toyota Supra GR has an unmistakable design. The car’s exterior look hasn’t changed since its introduction in 2020. It looks brilliant, though the plethora of fake vents is a downer. It gets a double bubble roof, while the A-pillar is borrowed from the original Toyota Mk 1 Supra. The squared-off nose resembles the Toyota Mk 3. The sweeping hood and body lines are from the Toyota Mk 4. Toyota has balled up a lot into a modern package. The exterior proportions are somewhat deceiving though. The 2024 Toyota Supra GR’s size is smaller than what it looks from the outside. The car shares a number of underpinnings with the BMW Z4. The front grille is placed lower down on the bumper. The car gets all-around LED lighting. There’s a spoiler flick at the back which reminds me of the famous fourth-generation Supra of the 1990s. Other exterior features include body-colored door handles, a dual-exhaust system, auto leveling headlights, and retractable powered door mirrors. The car runs on 19-inch forged black wheels, wrapped in Michelin Pilot Super Sport tyres.

Inside, the 2024 Toyota Supra GR feels well-built and solid. There are plenty of smart-looking plastics and gloss-black trims that lift the interior’s ambience. The higher models get Alcantara leather. The cabin’s styling appears subdued than the rather extrovert sweeping lines on the outside. The cabin itself is very well laid, with all controls and the switchgear within the hand’s reach. The dashboard gets an 8.8-inch touchscreen infotainment unit that runs on a slightly reskinned version of BMW’s iDrive system. The unit is connected to a 12-speaker audio system. The display is crisp and responds quickly. The graphics is sleek. The rotary controller on the central console is easy to use. The multifunction steering wheels has all the audio controls. The digital dials on the driver’s information system may not have Audi-levels of configurability, but the graphics look clear. 

How spacious is the 2024 Toyota Supra?

With 4,379 mm length, 1,854 mm width, and 1,292 mm height, the 2024 Toyota Supra is a spacious sports car. All seats get lumbar support. The seating position is low but the double-bubble roof means there’s enough headroom. The seats slide back and forth and tall occupants won’t have any problem with their legroom. The steering wheel offers plenty of adjustment. Settling into a comfortable driving position isn’t an issue. It’s a two-seat car and the boot start right behind the seats. With the absence of a divider, items in the boot are easily reachable from between the two seats. The boot itself is awkwardly shaped with a high-load lip. Packing in heavy items is a bit tricky. Removing the load cover does free up more space. The 2024 Toyota Supra comes with 290 litres of boot space.

What engine and transmission options are available?

The 2024 Toyota Supra’s entry-level model is hauled by a turbocharged, six-cylinder, 3.0-litre petrol engine that produces 382PS/500Nm. The motor is mated to a six-speed manual. All models get an electronically controlled limited-slip differential. It helps to keep power down on the road. But the Toyota Supra breaks traction more readily. While driving, forward visibility is good over the sprawling bonnet. In town, the Toyota Supra has sharp response. Large pillars around the rear window may restrict the outward view a bit. The ride quality is on the firmer side. But the standard adaptive suspension smoothens out bumpy roads in comfort setting. On highways, the 2024 Toyota Supra’s quiet cabin keeps most of the tyre and wind noise away. The steering wheel is quicker than most sports cars and promptly responds to driver commands that make city overtaking easy.

What’s the mileage of the Toyota Supra?

Sports cars aren’t known to offer mileage and the 2024 Toyota Supra is no different. It’s all about performance. The combined mileage is around 10kmpl. Mileage of course increases on highway travel.   

How safe is the Toyota Supra?

All versions of the 2024 Toyota Supra come with a number of driver-assist features and safety equipment that includes a rearview camera, cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, lane-change assist, lane departure warning, antilock braking, and pre-collision system. Built-in satellite-based navigation comes as standard.

How many colour options are there for the Toyota Supra?

Should you buy the Toyota Supra?
