Toyota has decided to discontinue the four-cylinder model of the iconic Supra, just three years after introducing it in 2019. This decision comes after the four-cylinder model was a slow seller in 2023, with only 2,652 units sold. The 2024 Supra 2.0 came with a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine making 255 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, offering decent performance with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Despite being relatively quick, the 2024 Supra 2.0 did not perform as well as expected in terms of sales.
As of 2025, the Supra lineup consists solely of the six-cylinder model. The 2025 Supra comes in 3.0 and 3.0 Premium trims, with a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six engine still producing 382 horsepower and 368 pound-feet of torque. The 2025 model offers the choice between an eight-speed automatic or a six-speed manual transmission, with acceleration times of approximately 3.9 seconds and 4.2 seconds to reach 60 mph, respectively. However, Supra buyers will have to be prepared for a slight price increase, with the 2025 Supra starting at $57,335, marking an $840 increase over the previous model.
###Decline of the Four-Cylinder Supra
The discontinuation of the four-cylinder model is likely due to its underperformance in sales compared to the six-cylinder model. While the four-cylinder Supra offered respectable performance, it failed to attract enough buyers to justify its continued production. As a result, Toyota made the decision to streamline the Supra lineup by focusing exclusively on the higher-performing six-cylinder model.
###Enhancements in the 2025 Supra
With the elimination of the four-cylinder model, Toyota is now offering an improved version of the Supra with the 2025 model year. The 2025 Supra comes with the same turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six engine as the previous model, but with enhanced performance capabilities. Buyers can opt for either an eight-speed automatic or a six-speed manual transmission, providing a more personalized driving experience.
###Price Increase for the 2025 Supra
While the 2025 Supra offers improved performance and a streamlined lineup, buyers will also have to contend with a slight price increase. The base model of the 2025 Supra starts at $57,335, representing an $840 increase over the previous model. Despite the higher price tag, the 2025 Supra promises to deliver a more engaging driving experience and enhanced performance capabilities for enthusiasts.
###Future of the Supra Lineup
As Toyota continues to make changes to the Supra lineup, it remains to be seen what the future holds for this iconic sports car. While the discontinuation of the four-cylinder model may disappoint some fans, the enhanced performance and streamlined lineup of the 2025 Supra suggest that Toyota is committed to offering a high-quality and engaging driving experience for enthusiasts. The Supra’s legacy as a legendary sports car continues to evolve with each new iteration, promising exciting developments in the years to come.
