2025 Toyota GR Supra: The Return of a Legend

The GR Supra needs no introduction. It is a legendary nameplate that has been thrilling drivers for generations. For 2025, the GR Supra continues to deliver a pure, unadulterated sports car experience with a potent blend of power, agility, and head-turning style.

Trim Levels: The 2025 GR Supra is available in two grades: 3.0 and 3.0 Premium. Both trims can be had with either an automatic or a highly coveted manual transmission option, a testament to Toyota’s commitment to driving purists.

Performance: At the heart of both trims is a powerful 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six engine, which unleashes a monstrous 382 horsepower and 368 lb-ft of torque. This potent engine propels the GR Supra from 0 to 60 mph in a blistering 3.9 seconds when equipped with the automatic transmission, providing exhilarating acceleration that is felt on every straightaway. The adaptive variable sport (AVS) suspension, standard on both 3.0 models, continuously adjusts damping to optimize handling and ride comfort, ensuring the GR Supra is as capable on a winding road near Miamisburg as it is on the track.

Exterior: The GR Supra’s design is a masterclass in aerodynamics and aggressive styling, with its double-bubble roof and muscular haunches. Both trims feature a sleek, aerodynamic body with standard 19-inch forged aluminum wheels.

Interior: Inside, the focus is on a driver-centric cockpit. The 3.0 grade comes with black Alcantara® and leather-trimmed sport seats. The 3.0 Premium trim elevates the experience with full leather-trimmed seats, available in either black or a stylish Hazelnut color. The 3.0 Premium also includes a standard 12-speaker 500-watt JBL® Premium Audio system, a full-color Head-Up Display (HUD) that projects essential information onto the windshield, and a Qi-compatible wireless smartphone charging pad.

OEM Upgrades & Packages: For those who want more, the GR Supra offers several packages. The Safety & Technology Package adds a suite of features including Full-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Blind Spot Monitor, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, and parking sensors. On the 3.0 grade, this package can also be optioned with the 12-speaker JBL sound system, making it an excellent all-around choice.

2025 Toyota GR86: A Purity of Performance

The GR86 is the modern interpretation of the classic front-engine, rear-wheel-drive sports car formula. It is an accessible, lightweight machine designed for pure, undiluted driving joy. The GR86 embodies the ethos that you don’t need excessive power to have an incredible amount of fun.

Trim Levels: The 2025 GR86 is available in three distinct trims: GR86, GR86 Premium, and the exclusive GR86 Hakone Edition. Each trim is available with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters.

Performance: All GR86 models share a naturally aspirated 2.4-liter boxer-four engine that produces 228 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. This engine delivers power smoothly and linearly, allowing the driver to feel connected to the machine. The GR86 is praised for its razor-sharp handling, thanks to a low center of gravity and a near-perfect weight distribution. The standard Torsen® limited-slip differential provides optimal grip when cornering, making it a dream on a curvy road.

Exterior: The GR86 features an athletic stance with a wide body and sculpted lines. The base GR86 comes with 17-inch alloy wheels, while the Premium trim steps up to 18-inch matte-black-painted alloy wheels and adds a color-keyed duckbill rear spoiler. The Hakone Edition is a special edition that makes a bold statement with its unique Ridge Green exterior color, matte-bronze-painted wheels, and exclusive badging that pays homage to the legendary Hakone Turnpike in Japan.

Interior: The cabin of the GR86 is minimalist and driver-focused. The base trim includes an 8-inch infotainment touchscreen with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. The Premium trim elevates the interior with two-stage heated sport seats with leather-trimmed bolsters and Ultrasuede® inserts, an 8-speaker audio system, and aluminum sport pedals. The Hakone Edition adds exclusive tan leather-trimmed accents, a limited-production commemorative plaque, and unique puddle lights, providing a premium feel to this track-ready machine.

OEM Upgrades: Notable OEM upgrades for the GR86 include the performance package which can add Brembo brakes and SACHS dampers for enhanced stopping power and handling.

South Dayton Toyota Advantage: Our Miamisburg location features dedicated performance specialists who can demonstrate the GR86’s capabilities and help you understand how these advanced systems enhance your driving experience.

2025 Toyota GR Corolla: The Ultimate Hot Hatch

The GR Corolla is an engineering marvel and a true enthusiast’s dream. It is a rally-bred hot hatchback that combines a powerful turbocharged engine with a unique all-wheel-drive system, all packaged in the practical body of a Corolla. For 2025, the GR Corolla becomes even more accessible with the introduction of a new transmission option.

Trim Levels: The 2025 GR Corolla is available in three distinct grades: the Core, the Premium, and the new for 2025, Premium Plus.

Performance: All GR Corolla trims are powered by a compact yet formidable 1.6-liter turbocharged G16E-GTS three-cylinder engine that delivers a whopping 300 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. What truly sets the GR Corolla apart is its GR-FOUR All-Wheel Drive system, which allows the driver to select from three different power settings (Front:Rear power distribution of 60:40, 50:50, or 30:70), allowing for a customizable driving experience whether you’re on a rally stage or just heading to the grocery store. For 2025, Toyota is offering a newly available 8-speed GAZOO Racing Direct Automatic Transmission (DAT) with paddle shifters in addition to the standard 6-speed manual transmission. This new option brings the thrilling performance of the GR Corolla to a wider audience without sacrificing the fun.

Exterior: The GR Corolla is instantly recognizable by its aggressive widebody fenders, functional air vents, and a unique triple-exhaust system that not only looks incredible but is also engineered to reduce back pressure. The Premium trim adds a gloss black front grille and a wireless charging pad. The top-tier Premium Plus trim takes it a step further with a standard forged carbon-fiber roof for enhanced aerodynamics and reduced weight, as well as a vented bulge hood and matte black wheels.

Interior: Inside, the GR Corolla is focused on performance and comfort. The Core trim has an 8-inch touchscreen display with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. The Premium trim upgrades to heated front sport seats with black Brin Naub and synthetic leather trim and a JBL Premium Audio system. The new Premium Plus trim builds on this with a convenient Head-Up Display and seats with striking red stitching for a more dynamic feel.
