(Buzztimes24) Toyota’s Four-Cylinder Supra Discontinued: – Toyota brought back the legendary Supra in 2019, reintroducing enthusiasts to its exhilarating performance with a robust six-cylinder engine. Building on this success, Toyota expanded the Supra lineup two years later by introducing an entry-level four-cylinder model, which garnered positive reviews for its agility and accessibility.

However, Toyota has announced a significant change for the 2025 model year—the discontinuation of the four-cylinder variant. A spokesperson from Toyota confirmed this decision, stating, “Yes, the four-cylinder will no longer be available in our lineup.” This move comes as Toyota assesses market preferences and sales data, revealing that the four-cylinder Supra struggled to gain traction, with just 2,652 units sold in 2023. In contrast, other sports car models saw increases in sales during the same period.
The 2024 Supra 2.0, equipped with a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine delivering 255 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, was lauded for its lively performance. Paired exclusively with an eight-speed automatic transmission, the Supra 2.0 accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in approximately 5.0 seconds, offering a balanced blend of power and efficiency.
Looking ahead to 2025, Toyota’s Supra lineup exclusively features the six-cylinder models. Available in 3.0 and 3.0 Premium trims, these variants retain the acclaimed turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six engine, boasting 382 horsepower and 368 pound-feet of torque. Enthusiasts can opt for either an eight-speed automatic transmission, which propels the Supra from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.9 seconds, or a six-speed manual transmission offering a 0-60 mph time of 4.2 seconds—appealing to drivers seeking a more engaging driving experience.
Despite the removal of the four-cylinder option, Toyota continues to enhance the Supra’s appeal with refinements and updates. For the 2025 model year, customers considering the Supra will encounter a modest price increase for the six-cylinder models. The base Supra 3.0 starts at $57,335, inclusive of a $1,095 destination fee, representing an $840 rise compared to its predecessor. Meanwhile, the more equipped Supra 3.0 Premium is priced at $60,495, offering additional features and enhanced performance capabilities.
Toyota’s decision to streamline the Supra lineup underscores its commitment to meeting consumer demands and optimizing the model’s performance and appeal within the competitive sports car segment. With its potent six-cylinder engines, advanced transmission options, and refined design, the 2025 Supra promises to deliver an exhilarating driving experience that enthusiasts crave.
