## Why this model

The Toyota Supra (A90 generation) is a fantastic sports car that blends iconic styling with serious performance. It shares its platform and engine with the BMW Z4, meaning you get BMW's excellent B58 straight-six engine, which is known for its power and reliability, wrapped in a distinctive Toyota body. It's a proper driver's car, offering a thrilling experience, and while it uses BMW components, Toyota's reputation for build quality still shines through. It's a solid choice if you want a fun, engaging coupe that also benefits from a strong brand image.

## What you should pay

Based on current UK market data for February 2026, a well-maintained 2021 Supra 3.0 Pro with around 30,000-50,000 miles typically sells for around £38,705. Prices can vary by a few thousand pounds depending on exact mileage, condition, optional extras, and dealer. You might find slightly cheaper examples if they have higher mileage or minor cosmetic imperfections, but be wary of anything significantly below this price without a clear reason.

## Which trim to buy

The 3.0 Pro trim is the sweet spot for the Supra. It comes with the more powerful 3.0-litre engine, which is really what this car is all about, and includes desirable features like adaptive suspension, an active differential, and a premium JBL sound system. It offers the full Supra experience without needing to hunt for rare special editions, and it holds its value well. The 2.0-litre is good, but the 3.0-litre engine truly unlocks the car's potential.

## What to check before you buy

- Potential for minor infotainment glitches (BMW iDrive system)
- Some owners report slight wind noise at higher speeds
- Being a performance car, check for signs of hard driving or track use (uneven tyre wear, brake condition, service history)

## Running costs

Running a Supra isn't cheap, but it's manageable for a performance car. Fuel costs will be around 13-15p per mile (based on ~£1.50/litre petrol and 36 MPG). Road tax (VED) for a 2021 model will be around £580 annually for the first 5 years from new (due to its new price being over £40k), then it drops to £190 per year. Insurance will be the biggest variable, expect to pay anywhere from £800 to £1500+ annually, depending on your age, location, and driving history.

## Key stats

- **Fuel Type**: Petrol
- **Horsepower**: 335 hp
- **Mpg**: 34-38 MPG (WLTP combined)
- **Reliability Score**: 8/10
- **Safety Rating**: 5-star Euro NCAP (2019, shared with BMW Z4)

## Trim comparison

| Trim | Price new | Price used | Key features |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 2.0 | £45,000 | £32,000 | 18-inch alloy wheels; 8.8-inch infotainment system; Alcantara sports seats |
| 3.0 (Standard) | £50,000 | £36,000 | 19-inch alloy wheels; Active differential; Adaptive suspension |
| 3.0 Pro | £53,000 | £38,705 | All 3.0 Standard features plus:; 10-speaker JBL sound system; Full leather seats |

## Depreciation forecast

| Year | Estimated value | Retention |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 2026 | £38,705 | 100% |
| 2027 | £34,834 | 90% |
| 2028 | £31,000 | 80.1% |
| 2029 | £28,000 | 72.3% |
| 2030 | £25,500 | 65.9% |

Buying a 3-4 year old Supra means you've let the first owner take the biggest hit of depreciation. From this point, the car should hold its value relatively well, especially for a desirable sports car. While it will continue to depreciate, the annual loss will be less steep than in its first few years, making it a smarter buy for long-term ownership.

Total value lost since new: 34.1%.
