Toyota GR Supra

The Toyota GR Supra is the fifth-generation revival of the Supra sports car, whose name comes from a Latin prefix meaning above or to surpass. REREV says CarComplaints rates the 2021 the worst model year, tied to the B58 3.0L engine burning oil past its valve seals as early as 3,000 to 4,000 miles, with 5 recalls, and federal data shows the 2020 with the most recalls (8). DAX Street picks the 2024 as a key used-buying year, since it is late enough for the 382-hp engine and manual gearbox without needing the final model year. The 2026 GR Supra starts at $59,495.

What the Toyota GR Supra is

Wikipedia (opens in a new tab) describes the Supra as a sports car and grand tourer made by Toyota since 1978, with the name Supra taken from the Latin prefix meaning above, to surpass or go beyond. The GR Supra is its fifth generation, revived after a gap. The 2026 GR Supra has a 2.0L four-cylinder or a 3.0L six-cylinder, rear-wheel drive, rated 21 to 27 mpg combined by the EPA, about $2,850 to $3,700 a year in fuel, and Kelley Blue Book base prices are $59,495 for the 3.0, $62,645 for the 3.0 Premium and $70,545 for the MkV Final Edition.

Best and worst GR Supra model years

Federal data shows the 2020 GR Supra with 8 recalls and 16 complaints, the most recalls of any year, and the 2021 with 5 recalls and 20 complaints, the most complaints. The 2022 has 2, the 2023 has 3, the 2024 has 1, and the 2025 has none.

REREV (opens in a new tab) says the top failure is the 2021 GR Supra's excessive oil consumption, with the B58 3.0L engine burning oil past valve seals as early as 3,000 to 4,000 miles, and that CarComplaints rates the 2021 the worst model year, its worst-ranked year for the oil consumption fault and 5 recalls. DAX Street (opens in a new tab) says the 2024 is late enough in the generation that buyers can find examples with the 382-hp engine and manual gearbox without needing to move to the final model years, and that it avoids the very first-year specification of the 2020 car while keeping the same basic fifth-generation identity.

Choosing a year

The 2024 stands out as the pick for a manual, 382-hp car without the 2020 launch issues or the 2021's documented oil-consumption problem, and any 2021 GR Supra should have its oil consumption checked before purchase.

Questions buyers ask

Which Toyota GR Supra year should I avoid?

REREV (opens in a new tab) says CarComplaints rates the 2021 the worst model year, because of excessive oil consumption on the B58 3.0L engine.

What year GR Supra should I buy used?

DAX Street (opens in a new tab) recommends the 2024, which offers the 382-hp engine and a manual gearbox without needing the final model year or the 2020's first-year issues.

Background and safety record

What public sources say about the Toyota GR Supra.

The Toyota GR Supra (model code J29/DB or A90/A91 for marketing purposes) is a sports car manufactured by Magna Steyr for Toyota from 2019 to 2026. The fifth-generation Supra, the GR Supra was sold under and developed by Toyota Gazoo Racing (TGR) brand in collaboration with BMW. It is the successor of the A80 Supra, which ceased production in 2002.

Recalls and problems
On 12 September 2019, the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced a safety recall issued by BMW on the Supra for the seat belt guide loop mounts, which were welded improperly. Only seven units are affected by this recall notice. Of the seven, only one was in the hands of an owner.
Awards
Won the "Golden Steering Wheel" award by Auto Bild magazine in 2019 for Best New Sports Car. 2019 "Car of the Year" by Esquire magazine. Won "Best Handling Car" of 2020 by Sport Auto magazine, over such competition as the McLaren 600 LT, Porsche 718 Cayman GT4, and BMW M8 Competition. Won "Best Sports Coupe" in MotorWeek magazine's 2020 Drivers' Choice Awards.
Development
Motor Trend had reported that a possible Supra successor could be based on the FT-HS (Future Toyota-Hybrid Sport), which debuted at the 2007 North American International Auto Show. The publication also reported that the fifth generation of the Supra could be powered by a 3.5-litre V-6 hybrid system generating over 298 kW (400 hp; 405 PS).
Performance
A test conducted by Car and Driver in December 2019 recorded the acceleration of the 3.0 L model from 0–97 km/h in 3.7 seconds (with 1-foot rollout), which is 0.3 seconds faster than the time claimed by Toyota. The 402 m time was also recorded in 12.2 seconds at 183 km/h (114 mph).
Special Editions
At launch in the US, Toyota announced they would release a special edition for each model year of the fifth-generation Supra's release cycle. To date, all special editions are based on the 3.0 Premium, and offer distinct details from standard models, while being produced in limited quantities.

Check open recalls by VIN for one particular vehicle.

Q01Is there a best year to buy a Toyota GR Supra?

Recall count alone can't answer that: it says nothing about a specific vehicle's price, mileage, accident history or maintenance record. What federal data can say: 2024 carried fewer recalls than this model's own average, while 2020 carried more. See the model-year table on this page for the exact counts and what they cover.

Q02Which Toyota GR Supra model years should I watch for recalls?

The 2020 Toyota GR Supra has 8 federal recalls on file, most commonly affecting exterior lighting, engine, backup camera. Always confirm the open/completed status of every campaign for the specific VIN: a recall on this list may already be repaired on the vehicle in front of you.

Q03Which Toyota GR Supra model years have the cleanest federal recall record?

The 2024 Toyota GR Supra has 1 recall on file: below this model's own average of 3.8. A shorter list on file as of this page's data pull is not a guarantee against a future recall.

Q04What are common recall-related problems on the Toyota GR Supra by model year?

2024: electrical system. 2023: electrical system, powertrain. 2022: electrical system. 2021: electrical system, seat belts, fuel system, engine. 2020: exterior lighting, engine, backup camera, fuel system.
