How much does a 2021 Toyota Supra cost?

The 2021 Toyota Supra offered two main trims with distinct price points: the 2.0L turbo and the 3.0L turbo. New, you could expect starting prices in the low $40,000s for the 2.0 and in the low to mid $50,000s for the 3.0, before destination charges. In the used market today, prices vary widely based on mileage, condition and trim.


In the United States, the Supra lineup in 2021 consisted of two primary engines and did not offer a manual transmission for 2021 models; both trims were paired with an automatic transmission. This article breaks down the official starting prices at launch, then outlines current used-market realities as of 2025, along with tips for buyers.


New-car pricing in 2021


The following figures reflect U.S.-market starting MSRPs for the two trims at launch, before destination charges and before any dealer incentives or options.



  • 2.0L turbo: starting MSRP around $41,000–$41,250 (excluding destination)

  • 3.0L turbo: starting MSRP around $50,000–$53,000 (excluding destination)


Prices vary by dealer, choice of options, and regional taxes. Destination charges apply and can affect the final out-the-door price.


What differentiates the two trims


The 2.0L Turbo model delivers the entry-level performance with a smaller 2.0-liter engine designed for sportiness and efficiency, while the 3.0L Turbo offers more horsepower and torque for stronger acceleration and top-end performance. Both were paired with an automatic transmission in 2021, and neither trim offered a factory manual option in that year in the U.S.


Used-price reality in 2025


As of 2025, the used-market for the 2021 Supra reflects varying prices based on miles, condition, and trim. Here are typical ranges you might see in listings and dealer inventories.



  • 2021 Supra 2.0: typically around $38,000–$48,000 for cars with moderate mileage and good condition

  • 2021 Supra 3.0: typically around $45,000–$60,000 depending on mileage, condition, and options


Prices can be higher for cars with very low mileage, pristine condition, or desirable options/packages, and lower for higher-mileage examples. Regional demand and supply also influence pricing significantly.


Buying tips and considerations for used models


When shopping for a 2021 Supra used, keep these tips in mind to secure a fair deal and minimize risk.



  • Check the vehicle history report for accidents, title issues, and prior recalls addressed.

  • Verify maintenance records and verify that routine services (oil changes, inspections) are up to date.

  • Inspect for aftermarket modifications that could affect reliability or resale value; factory warranties may have limited transferability.

  • Consider certified pre-owned (CPO) programs if available, which can provide extended warranties and inspections.


Always cross-check with multiple sources, including local dealers and reputable online marketplaces, to gauge current market pricing and available inventory.


Summary


The 2021 Toyota Supra was offered in two trims with new-car prices starting around the low $40,000s for the 2.0L and around the low-to-mid $50,000s for the 3.0L, excluding destination. In 2025, used prices vary widely based on mileage and condition, commonly ranging from the high $30,000s to the $60,000s, with low-mileage or well-equipped examples commanding higher figures. For buyers, the key is to verify history, maintenance, and any aftermarket changes, while shopping around to compare dealer pricing and options.

Why is Supra discontinued?


Toyota is discontinuing the current generation of the GR Supra because BMW is ending production of the closely related Z4 roadster, which shares the platform. The Supra's reliance on BMW's platform created limitations for Toyota in making significant changes to the engine or gearbox, and the partnership ended in early 2026. Additionally, sports car sales have been declining industry-wide, with the Supra being a secondary vehicle for many due to its high price and two-seat design.

Key reasons for discontinuation

  • Shared platform with BMW Z4: The current Supra and the BMW Z4 were developed on the same platform. When BMW decided to end production of the Z4, it forced the end of the current-generation Supra's production as well. 
  • Platform limitations: The reliance on a BMW-based platform limited Toyota's ability to make major changes to the engine, transmission, or interior technology. Toyota was unable to make significant updates beyond what it could control, such as suspension and bushing improvements. 
  • Shifting market preferences: The sports car market has seen a general decline in sales across the industry. The Supra, as a two-seat sports car with a high price point, is not a "do-everything" vehicle and is considered a secondary car for most buyers, which contributes to lower sales volume. 
  • Potential for future development: While the current generation is ending, Toyota has hinted that the Supra nameplate will likely return in the future. The hope is for a future model to be developed entirely in-house on a new platform, giving Toyota more control over the final product.

Is the 2021 Supra worth buying?


Among the 50 owners who provided feedback on the 2021 Toyota GR Supra for Kelley Blue Book, consumer sentiment is mixed, with 57% recommending the vehicle. As a whole, consumers found the vehicle's styling and performance to be its strongest features and quality to be its weakest.



Is Supra faster than Mustang?


It depends on the specific models being compared, but the Supra is often faster in straight-line acceleration, especially the 3.0L version, due to better weight distribution and power delivery. The Mustang, particularly the V8 models, can be faster in high-speed acceleration and has more overall power on paper, though the Supra is more nimble on a road course.

  • Acceleration: The 3.0L GR Supra is frequently quicker from 000 to 606060 mph than the base 2.3L EcoBoost Mustang, and can often beat the V8 Mustang GT as well, especially in initial acceleration. This is attributed to its wider rear tires and excellent power delivery. 
  • Top Speed: The Supra's top speed is electronically limited to 155 mph, which is the same as the Mustang's. 
  • Handling: The Supra is designed to be a more agile sports car, with a tighter interior and a focus on driving dynamics. The Mustang is a heavier muscle car, which can make it feel less nimble on twisty roads, although it offers a comfortable ride for a daily driver and has the option for rear seats, which the Supra lacks. 
  • Power: The V8-powered Mustang GT has more horsepower and torque on paper than the base Supra, but the Supra's lighter weight, low-end torque, and traction make it quicker in a straight line off the line.

Conclusion
  • For overall straight-line acceleration, the Supra 3.0L is often the faster car. 
  • For highway speed and all-out power, the Mustang V8 can be faster. 
  • For cornering and overall agility, the Supra is the better-handling car.
