2022 Toyota GR Supra Interior and Cargo

Buying a two-door sports coupe for its cargo-holding abilities is like buying a Miata for drag racing - it doesn't make any sense. But the 2022 Toyota Supra isn't as cargo-crippled as you might think. Pop the hatchback-style liftgate, and you're presented with 10.2 cubic feet of space, which, in this class, is impressive. The outgoing Nissan 370Z, for instance, could only muster 6.9 cubic feet. There's no point suggesting that the liftgate or aperture are conducive to loading stuff in the trunk either, but this shouldn't be an expectation in a car like this. Still, you should be able to fit your stock intercooler, intake, and downpipes in there after you've visited your local tuner.

Inside the car, there are small storage areas in the center console, an armrest storage bin, cupholders, and a glovebox.

The base model makes the Supra more attainable by downsizing the engine and features list, but you still get a pretty good deal, with features such as dual-zone automatic climate control, a fully digital TFT LCD gauge cluster, an eight-way manually-adjustable driver's seat, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror with universal garage door opener. Adding to everyday convenience is a smart key with smart entry and start. The safety suite comprises cruise control, lane departure warning with steering assist, pre-collision warning with pedestrian detection, and a rearview camera.

The 3.0 model adds a 14-way power-adjustable driver's seat with driver seat memory plus lumbar and bolster adjustment. The 3.0 Premium model gets luxury features such as a full-color head-up display, heated seats, and wireless phone charging. Blind-spot monitoring and parking sensors can be added optionally by means of the Safety & Technology Package.

Standard equipment for the 2022 GR Supra includes an 8.8-inch display screen with Supra Command, a lightly reskinned version of BMW's iDrive, which is not a bad thing. The sound system comes with four speakers as standard on the 2.0 and 10 speakers on the 3.0, but can be upgraded to a 12-speaker 500-watt JBL audio system, which comes standard on Premium and A91-CF models. Either way, we're not too impressed by the setup. The system is intuitive, but some adjustments are buried deeper than we would like. Wireless Apple CarPlay is available as an option, but Android Auto is entirely, and frustratingly, absent. The 3.0 Premium and A91 get an 8.8-inch touchscreen, the 12-speaker JBL sound system, wireless Apple CarPlay, and navigation as standard. All trims have Bluetooth, SiriusXM, and USB connectivity.

For the 2022 Model year, those that opt for the JBL sound system also get full-screen Apple CarPlay, which will make up a little for the poor decision to upgrade. Perhaps it's because the Supra is a purist's sports car and the sound system is an afterthought, but the JBL system is bass-heavy - and its loose, murky bass. The mids aren't great either, and we found the high-end fatiguing on the ears. If you're thinking about the upgrade, listen to it first and listen to it for at least twenty minutes before deciding.
