This week is a busy one for Toyota Gazoo Racing as tomorrow, they'll be taking the covers off five GR-badged models at one go. Then on the weekend, you can ogle at two of the new models in the flesh – the Toyota Hilux GR Sport, and the Toyota Corolla Cross GR Sport. Both these models will be available for viewing this weekend (18- to 19-February 2023), exclusively at GR Garages and GR-S showrooms nationwide.

There’s also a 150 PS/400 Nm 2.4-litre engine for the lower variants – same power output as before but

The Japanese usually jump at the chance to spice up fairly normal cars, and it's especially true for the men and women at Gazoo Racing. Yes, the team behind the Toyota GR Yaris raided their parts bin and dumped some good stuff on a 2020 Toyota Hilux. Lots of tough love GR’s styling package beefs up the Hilux’s already-tough exterior by a notch. For an additional JPY 305,800 (~RM 11,950), buyers will get a silver bumper guard, striking red skid plate, steel side steps and matte-black sports bars
