Toyota, the Japanese automaker, is planning to bring its iconic sports car, the Supra, to the Indian market. New Toyota Supra is a two-seater coupe Car that offers exhilarating performance, stunning design and advanced technology. The Supra has a long and rich history, dating back to 1978, when it was first introduced as a variant of the Celica. Since then, the Supra has evolved through five generations, each one improving on the previous one in terms of power, handling, comfort and style. The latest generation of the Supra, known as the GR Supra, was launched in 2019, after a hiatus of 17 years.
The GR Supra is a result of a collaboration between Toyota and BMW, and shares many components with the BMW Z4 roadster. However, the Supra has its own unique identity and character, as it draws inspiration from the legendary A80 Supra of the 1990s, as well as the FT-1 concept car that was unveiled in 2014.

New Toyota Supra Interior Features
The interior of the Supra is designed to be driver-focused and minimalist, with a cockpit-like layout and ergonomic controls. The interior is also influenced by BMW, as it features the iDrive infotainment system with an 8.8-inch touchscreen display, a digital gauge cluster, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and a shifter knob. The seats are upholstered in a combination of leather and Alcantara, and offer ample support and adjustment. The interior also features ambient lighting, an auto-dimming rearview mirror and dual-zone automatic climate control. Some of the optional features include full leather upholstery, heated seats, a head-up display and a 12-speaker JBL sound system.
The interior space of the Supra is limited, as it is a two-seater coupe with a high beltline and a low roofline. However, the double-bubble roof provides some extra headroom for taller occupants. The Boot Space is also decent for a sports car, as it offers 10.2 cubic feet of trunk space, which can accommodate a few small suitcases or bags. The trunk has a wide hatch opening that makes it easy to load and unload items.
Upcoming Toyota Supra Expected Launch Date
The launch date of the Supra in India is not yet confirmed by Toyota, but it is expected to happen sometime in 2023. Toyota India has hinted that it is seriously considering bringing the Supra to India under the new homologation-free import route that allows global car brands to import up to 2500 cars from their international lineup annually without undergoing local testing or certification. Toyota India already has one product under this route, the Vellfire luxury MPV, which was launched in 2020. The Supra will also be imported as a completely built unit (CBU), which means that it will not be assembled or manufactured in India.
New Toyota Supra Price in India
The price of the Supra in India will depend on various factors such as import duties, taxes, exchange rates and demand. However, based on the US prices and some estimates, the price range of the Supra in India could be between Rs 70 lakh to Rs 95 lakh (approximately $94,000 to $128,000 USD). The Supra is available in four variants in the US market: 2.0, 3.0, 3.0 Premium and A91 Edition.
