The 2021 Toyota Supra 3.0 is the car Toyota ought to have launched last year. There, I said it.

If you’re one of the well-heeled among us who paid an excessive dealer markup on a 2020 Toyota GR Supra Launch Edition, well, sorry. Patience is a virtue and all that. The 2021 Supra 3.0 is more powerful, yes, but more important, it’s more rewarding and just plain better to drive both around town and on a good winding road than the debut model.

Before we get too far into what changes Toyota made to the 2021 Supra and why they make it so much better to drive than the 2020 Supra, it’d be a worthwhile endeavor to look at what was wrong with the first year of fifth-generation Supras. The Supra’s 12th-place finish at our 2019 Best Driver’s Car competition was largely due to its poor suspension tuning.

Back in February this year, Toyota unveiled the 2021 Toyota Supra with a healthy power boost, lots of upgrades, and an A91 Special Edition model. The sports coupe probably won’t reach showrooms before this summer but MotorTrend has already obtained the Supra’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) efficiency numbers for the 2021 model year. They are slightly worse than before but we can live with that.

According to the publication, the 2021 Toyota Supra will return 22 miles per gallon city, 30 mpg highway, and 25 mpg combined. For a comparison, the 2020 model year variant was estimated at 24 mpg city, 31 mpg highway, and 26 mpg combined measured by the EPA’s fuel efficiency test cycle.

It’s been two decades since the Toyota Supra was center stage at Toyota dealerships. With the arrival of the all-new A90 generation, believe me when I say we’ve read every one of the “It’s not a real Supra; it’s a BMW with a Toyota badge and body” comments. It’s not, and I wrote a thorough backgrounder on this topic in the March 2019 issue. And would you as an automotive enthusiast prefer both the BMW Z4 M40i and Toyota Supra 3.0, sharing mechanicals as they do, or neither be available right now? Also, the 2020 Toyota GR Supra advanced to the finalist round of our annual Car of the Year contest, and the Z4 did not. MotorTrend en Español managing editor Miguel Cortina wrote a comparison test between the two if you’re still a doubting Thomas. The 2020 Toyota Supra is legit.

2020 Toyota Supra Review

The Supra is great. Full stop.

Yeah, we know – the Toyota Supra and BMW Z4 are pretty much one and the same. Apart from the removable roof, the two cars ride on the same platform, use the same engine, and for the most part, have identical interiors both loaded with the latest BMW infotainment system. For a nameplate as storied as Supra, some purists might be put off by the obvious BMW parts. But, honestly, get over it.

The Toyota Supra is a great sports car, regardless of the context. It’s quick, competent, and comfortable, with a refined ride and a punchy turbo engine that pairs well with BMW’s impressive selection of tech and safety equipment. It’s hard not to fall for the 2020 Supra, even with its obvious German ties (and some major additions on the way).
