Do you have your eyes on the new
entry-level Toyota Supra 2.0? If so, get ready to pay at least US$ 42,990,
excluding the US$ 995 handling and delivery charge. The model packs a 2.0-liter
turbo four-pot sourced from BMW, which develops 255 HP and 400 Nm of torque. It’s hooked up to an eight-speed automatic transmission and promises
5.0 seconds for the 0-96 km/h and a 250 km/h top speed.
Tipping the scales at 1,443
kg, it’s around 90 kg lighter than the Supra 3.0. It lacks the
adaptive suspension, active differential and is offered with single piston
brake calipers at the front, instead of four, less speakers and manually
adjustable seats.
If you’d rather have your new Supra with a
six-pot, then the 3.0 model is the one to go for. It now packs 382 HP and 499 Nm of torque, up 47 HP and 4 Nm from the 2020MY, which
enables a 0-96 km/h of 3.9 seconds, or 0.2 seconds quicker than
before. Besides the power boost, it also sports a revised chassis with all
these upgrades bumping the MSRP by US$ 1,000, to US$ 50,990.
The 3.0 Premium spec is US$ 500 more
expensive, as it starts at US$ 54,490, and comes with extra kit, while those who
want to spend more can go ahead and order the Safety & Technology Package,
which is a US$ 3,485 and US$ 3,155 option on the Supra 2.0 and 3.0 models
respectively. The kit adds dynamic radar cruise control, rear cross traffic alert,
blind spot monitoring, navigation system, JBL premium audio, Apple CarPlay,
Supra Connected Services and parking sensors with emergency braking. The 3.0
Premium can also be had with the US$ 1,195 Driver’s Assist Package, which brings
only the assistive gear.
From here on, you could check out the new
Supra A91 Edition, which replaces the 2020 Launch Edition and starts at US$ 55,990. Limited to 1,000 cars, it’s available in the Nocturnal Black or
Refraction Blue paint finishes, and features carbon fiber trim, black wheels
and Alcantara upholstery. The A91 is also available with the optional Driver’s
Assist Package.
