2026 Toyota GR Supra Redesign, Images, Interior    –   Undoubtedly, one could argue that the 2026 Toyota One may argue that the 2026 Toyota GR Supra would perform better with a manual gearbox and three pedals. After all, a key component of the driving experience has always been rowing your own gears, especially in a sports vehicle. It gives us a comprehensive sensation of control when driving and is the essential link that binds us to our vehicles.  2026 Toyota GR Supra Redesign

But to get caught up criticizing the reborn Supra for what it doesn’t have is to overlook all the reasons that make driving it so intoxicating. Like the way the car reacts to gear changes at anything close to the top of the rev range, surging ahead with a neck-snapping momentum that simply wasn’t there a split second before. Or how its hips swivel and squirm under bursts of acceleration in a fun and familiar way that’s reminiscent of the playful Toyota 86, only with almost as much torque as a Porsche 911 Carrera S.

It’s also somewhat frugal for its performance acumen, with both its fuel consumption ratings and real-world results rather miserly. According to Natural Resources Canada (NRCan), this is a car that should burn 10.6 L/100 km around town, 8.0 on the highway, and 9.4 combined. Granted, that’s premium-grade gasoline, but those ratings are better than the Toyota 86/Subaru BRZ, as well as those aforementioned competitors. While my week-long test registered a slightly worse 11.0 L/100 km over the course of nearly 700 km, even that’s a respectable number given the manner in which the Supra was driven.  2026 Toyota GR Supra Specs

New for 2026, the system also features a wireless Apple CarPlay connection in the 3.0L-powered car, though it was finicky during testing, often refusing to reconnect after a brief stop. There’s also no wired CarPlay connection, nor is there Android Auto, but the top trim features built-in navigation and satellite radio, as well as a 12-speaker stereo that seems excessive in a car this small but sounds great nonetheless.

Also new this time around for the 3.0L model is a wireless phone charger, while it also gets a head-up display and those wonderful leather sport seats. Just like the faux-suede-covered ones in the base version, those chairs feature three-stage heat but no ventilation, while the steering wheel doesn’t come heated. Both features simply should be equipped in a car with this kind of asking price. (Since we’re on the subject of comfort features, while the climate control system is of the dual-zone automatic variety, it seems a strange oversight that there’s no button to sync the temperatures of both sides of the cabin.)

Both versions of the Supra come fitted with a computer-modulated launch control system, but the 3.0L model adds a fistful of other performance-related goodies. There’s that limited-slip differential, those adaptive dampers, and an active exhaust system – though it sounds awfully German when it burbles and spits. It also comes fitted with bigger Brembo brakes than the base car’s, hollow stabilizer bars front and rear, and some new strut bracing to crank up the rigidity. Toyota says the second-year Supra was also on the receiving end of some chassis and suspension tuning tweaks.  2026 Toyota GR Supra Redesign

Engine and Performance

After a year on the market, the Supra lineup on these shores has expanded to include the base turbo motor previously sold exclusively in parts of Europe and Asia. That BMW-sourced four-cylinder makes 255 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque – numbers that don’t exactly incite enthusiasm. Granted, I’ve not yet tested the 2.0L-powered car, and it would be unfair to declare it dead on arrival. Instead I’m going to, um, strongly suggest it’s worth springing for the big engine.  2026 Toyota GR Supra Redesign

After all, there’s something sacred about a Supra with a straight six-cylinder under the hood. Is it because that’s the way it’s been since the car’s humble beginnings in the late 1970s? No doubt. But it’s also because the configuration remains among the most balanced, harmonious, and smooth to ever grace an engine bay. No, it’s not the hilariously tunable 2JZ of old, but this BMW-built 3.0L certainly is in keeping with tradition. To create some separation from the four-cylinder car, the straight-six received a bump in output for its sophomore year, with 382 hp and 368 lb-ft of torque on tap. Power in particular sees a healthy increase over last year’s car, which made 335 ponies, and puts the Supra on equal ground to the BMW Z4 with which it shares its mechanical underpinnings.

2026 Toyota GR Supra Fuel Economy

With a single turbocharger forcing more high-pressure air into the combustion chambers, there’s barely a hint of anything resembling lag as the Supra claws ahead with the quickness of a six-figure performance car, its eight-speed automatic snapping off shifts faster than what seems fair to just about any other automatic out there. Routing all that torque to the rear wheels via a limited-slip differential – a feature not found on the base car – results in a controllable sway to the Supra’s hips under heavy acceleration, the engine’s combustible force fighting hard against the traction provided by the sticky 275-mm section width tires tucked under the rear fenders.  2026 Toyota GR Supra Redesign

2026 Toyota GR Supra Safety Features

As part of the brand’s mission to bring advanced safety to the masses, both Supra trims get stuff like blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, automatic high-beams, lane-departure warning with steering assist, and a traffic sign recognition system. There’s also adaptive cruise control that works in stop-and-go traffic. Of course, none of it was used during testing, with Toyota providing a handy button on the console to shut the systems down for unencumbered driving.   2026 Toyota GR Supra Redesign

Because ultimately that’s what a car like this is all about. Safety is a noble cause, and I’m certainly not here to discredit that in any way, but If I wanted to spend Supra money on one of Toyota’s mobile cocoons of crash prevention technology I’d buy something with a Lexus badge on the grille.   2026 Toyota GR Supra Redesign

It’s also safe to assume I’d head straight for a Supra powered by a straight-six, with lots of extras for the roughly $11,000 premium over the base model. The $58,000 pre-tax price for the four-cylinder Supra manages to seem a little steep, though the slightly more than $69,000 a 3.0L will set you back before the government gets its share seems rather reasonable. Sure, there are other great performance cars on the market for that kind of cash – the new mid-engine Chevrolet Corvette springs to mind, not to mention the M2 Competition and the Porsche 718 Series – but the one-trim Toyota GR Supra 3.0L delivers an awful lot for its asking price.GR Supra would be better with three pedals and a manual transmission.
