The Toyota Motor Company has always been one of the most elite car manufacturers in the world. Whether it is a family-friendly SUV or a luxury sports car, the Japanese pioneer will consistently deliver.
Toyota Supra is among the most popular classic sports car in history. From its first production in the 70s up until now, this fantastic car has stolen many car enthusiasts’ hearts.
There was a break in the production of the Supra, as from 2002, the product line underwent a hiatus until 2019 when it got relaunched with new designs and more outstanding features.
Now the 2022 Toyota Supra is on its way and is expected to arrive soon. So, without further ado, let’s check out what this new sports car has to offer.
What's Under The Hood?
All Supra editions feature an eight-speed automatic gearbox and rear-wheel drive as most sports cars do. The Supra is a beast on the track. It puts up big numbers that only a few elite automobiles like Chevrolet Camaro and BMW M2 deliver. This Japanese powerhouse hits 60 MPH in just 3.7 seconds and reaches 100 MPH in 9.5 seconds. The less expensive four-cylinder edition's performance is not as impressive as the former, but it still delivers a significant number, hitting 60 MPH in 4.7 seconds.
The base model with the turbocharged four-cylinder engine proceeds to make 255 HP. The superior six-cylinder model is a mighty one and hits 382 HP.
Unfortunately, it does not have a manual transmission: however, there are rumors floating around that later on, the line will feature a manual variant.
The Supra's chassis is gentle enough to use on a daily basis, given its performance capabilities. It has a very smooth handling and a friendly yet fierce attitude.
The Exquisite Design
The Toyota Supra’s design is a more driver-centric layout, which makes the cabin a bit compact. It is not that difficult and problematic for everyone, but the taller individuals will find it constricted. Despite having nearly the same space, the cargo area can provide more room for luggage.
The Toyota Supra shares its platform with BMW Z4, so BMW lovers will know exactly what to expect from this vehicle.
Toyota has decided to launch a Carbon Fiber limited-edition design titled A91-CF. Only 600 will be produced, each having a carbon-fiber exterior package, matte black 19-inch wheels, tail spoiler, and black and red inside fabric. Three exterior colors are presented for the A91-CF edition: Absolute Zero White, Nitro Yellow, and Phantom Matte Gray.
Fuel Consumption Rates
The Supra with the turbocharged four-cylinder powertrain is the most fuel-efficient, with EPA ratings of 25 MPG city and 32 highway. Supra 3.0's fuel economy is still rather impressive, with 22 MPG in the city and 30 on the highway. And that is still better than a lot of the rivals.
Other Features Of The Supra
The primary display of the Supra is an 8.8-inch device with a minimally reskinned version of BMW's newest iDrive technology. An electronic gauge panel is featured across the series, having a unique appearance when compared to the Bimmer.
Android Auto is not available for this vehicle, but navigation and Apple CarPlay are provided. The standard lineup comes with a 10-speaker JBL audio system, but there is an option to upgrade it to a 12-speaker one. Other features like a USB port, satellite radio, Bluetooth, and wireless smartphone charging pad are also expected on the 2022 Toyota Supra model.
The Supra comes equipped with several driver-assistance systems, including automatic emergency braking. The additional Driver's Package adds technologies like adaptive cruise control and blind-spot detection to the vehicle. The Supra features some other safety options, such as a standard lane-departure indicator and automatic high beams.
How Much Will The Supra Cost?
The starting price for the current Toyota Supra is $45,000, and no significant changes are expected, and it also differs depending on what model you choose and what options you want to have. For the average driver that does not care about specific details, the four-cylinder edition is definitely beyond acceptable. But, for speed addicts and fanatics, the six-cylinder version adds another flavor.
The Japanese Way To Infinity And Beyond
Two years after coming back into the industry, the Toyota Supra is once again at the top of its game, competing with the likes of Porche, Chevrolet, and BMW. Toyota is known for delivering the best value for the price you pay, and Supra is no exception. With a stunning design and even a more powerful performance, the 2022 Toyota Supra is expected to satisfy its customers.
The official release date of the car is yet to be announced, but the 2022 Toyota Supra is likely to debut this summer.
