2022 Toyota Supra

The 2022 Toyota Supra marked the third year of the revived sports car, continuing its collaboration with BMW. It came with two engine options: a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 producing 255 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque, and a more powerful 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-6 generating 382 horsepower and 368 lb-ft of torque. Both engines were paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. Owners generally praise the Supra for its sharp handling, quick acceleration, and distinctive styling. Criticisms often revolve around its limited interior space, compromised visibility, and the fact that some consider it too heavily reliant on BMW components.

Engine

2.0L Turbocharged Inline-4

  • No Issues Found

3.0L Turbocharged Inline-6

  • Oil Consumption
    • Description/Symptoms: Some owners have reported higher-than-expected oil consumption, requiring more frequent top-offs between oil changes. The exact cause is not universally agreed upon, but some speculate it’s related to the engine’s design or break-in process. Symptoms include the low oil light illuminating on the dash and the need to add oil.
    • Solution: Monitoring oil levels and topping off as needed is the initial step. If consumption is excessive, a dealer inspection is recommended, potentially involving oil consumption tests, leak checks, and ultimately, possible engine component replacement if a specific cause is identified.
    • Estimated Cost to Fix: Varies widely depending on the cause; diagnostics may be $100 - $200+, minor repairs $500+, and major engine work could exceed $5,000.
    • Recalls: None Found
