The Short Version: The 2025 Toyota GR Supra is on its way to dealers now, but one model will be notably missing – the entry-level, four-cylinder Supra 2.0. Now offered only in 3.0 and 3.0 Premium grades, the Supra’s sole engine option is a turbocharged, 382-horsepower 3.0-liter inline-six, with both trims offering either an eight-speed automatic or six-speed manual transmission. Unfortunately, that means prices are up, from 2024’s base of $47,545 for a four-banger to 2025’s $57,345 minimum for the six.
Good news for purists and bad news for bargain hunters: Toyota is discontinuing the entry-level GR Supra 2.0 for the 2025 model year. That means that going forward, all Supras will feature a BMW-sourced, turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six (codenamed B58), with either a six-speed manual transmission or an eight-speed auto sending power to the rear wheels.
Now offered solely in 3.0 and 3.0 Premium trim levels and producing 382 horsepower and 368 pound-feet of torque, the 2025 GR Supra predictably starts at a higher price than it once did. While the 2024 Supra 2.0 had a starting price of $47,545 including $1,095 destination, the cheapest 2025 Supra demands $9,800 more, or $57,345. The GR Supra 3.0 Premium is more expensive still, costing $60,495 but including full leather seating, an uprated audio system, and wireless Apple CarPlay.
In an emailed statement to CARiD Drive, Toyota said that the addition of the six-cylinder’s optional manual transmission for the 2023 model year meant the trim split had been trending toward 3.0 trim levels.
“To streamline grade strategy and align with customer demand, the Toyota GR Supra 2.0 will be discontinued for 2025,” the statement reads.
The Supra 2.0 used a BMW inline-four engine codenamed B48B20, which made 255 hp and 295 lb-ft. Currently offered in everything from the 230i sporty coupe and Z4 sDrive30i roadster to the X3 xDrive30i, this “O1” tune of the B48 will start to disappear from the BMW’s products, replaced with an updated “O2” version that incorporates a 48-volt mild-hybrid setup. The 48-volt system has already been confirmed for the 2025 BMW 330i, 430i, and X3 30 xDrive. I asked BMW if there were production constraints for the pre-update engine that may have led to its discontinuation in the Supra, and I’ll update this article when the automaker responds.
Of note, the fifth-generation Supra was the first ever to offer a four-cylinder powerplant. In fact, for the sports car’s first and second generations – when it was actually known as the Toyota Celica Supra – a six-cylinder engine was the defining characteristic between it and lesser Celica trims. That trend continued in the third and fourth generations; even though the Supra and Celica were no longer based on the same platform, the latter got inline-sixes while the former had four-pots. Still, the fifth-generation Supra 2.0 was a responsive, entertaining sports coupe, and it’s sad to see that healthy discount over the six-cylinder go away.
