Comparison: Ground clearance Toyota Supra vs. competitors 2025

Just like its power and design, the ground clearance of the Toyota Supra has evolved over time. In the A60 generation (1982-1985), the ground clearance remained undisclosed, but we can safely assume it was something sporty and ground-hugging. As for the A70 (1986-1992) and A80 (1993-1996) generations, the ground clearance also remains shrouded in mystery. But fast forward to the present A90 generation (2019-now), Toyota revealed a ground clearance of 119 mm, making it slightly better suited for daily driving while still maintaining a low-slung, sporty stance.

Within the current Toyota lineup, the Supra is among the lowest when it comes to ground clearance. Compared to the Toyota GR Supra with a 115 mm ground clearance, it has a slight edge. However, models like the GR Yaris (124 mm), GR86 (130 mm), and Corolla (135 mm) boast higher ground clearances, making them more practical for everyday driving. Larger Toyota SUVs and trucks, such as the RAV4 (195 mm), Highlander (202 mm), and Hilux (227 mm), of course, tower above the Supra, offering the ground clearance you'd expect from off-road-capable vehicles.

When stacked against its rivals, the Toyota Supra's ground clearance is in the ballpark of similarly sporty models. With a ground clearance of 119 mm, the Supra has a bit more clearance than luxury models like the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT (96 mm) and the Jaguar F-Type (100 mm). However, the Supra's ground clearance is less than that of vehicles like the Porsche 911 (125 mm), Mazda MX-5 (135 mm), and the Hyundai Veloster (149 mm). Comparing the popular Toyota GT86/GR86 (130 mm) and Subaru BRZ (120 mm), both of which have a higher ground clearance, it's clear that the Supra prioritizes a sporty and aggressive stance over the ability to handle pesky potholes or speed bumps.
