A few months after the 2021 Toyota Supra was unveiled for the U.S. with some added performance, fuel consumption figures from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have been tracked down by Motor Trend.
The EPA has rated the 2021 Supra 3.0 at 22 mpg city, 30 mpg highway, and 25 mpg over the combined cycle. By comparison, the 2020 Supra was rated at 24 mpg city, 31 mpg highway, and 26 mpg combined. In everyday driving, most customers probably won’t even notice the difference.

The key upgrade enjoyed by the 2021 Supra over the previous model year is more power. Whereas the 3.0-liter turbocharged six-cylinder of the 2020 model delivered 335 hp and 365 lb-ft (494 Nm) at 1,600 rpm, the latest model year ups the ante to 382 hp and 368 lb-ft (498 Nm) at 1,800 rpm, bringing its grunt in line with the BMW Z4 M40i that uses the same engine.
For 47 additional horses and 3 lb-ft of additional torque, we think sacrificing 1 mpg over the combined cycle is a good trade-off.
Also new for the 2021 Supra in the United States is the presence of an entry-level model running a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder. This engine pumps out 255 hp between 5,000 and 6,500 rpm and 295 lb-ft (400 Nm) of torque from 1,550 rpm to 4,400 rpm. Toyota says that’s enough power to send this version of the Supra to 60 mph (96 km/h) in a respectable 5.0 seconds. The Supra 3.0, meanwhile, achieves the same feat in 3.9 seconds, 0.2 seconds quicker than last year’s model.
