After the Vios GR Sport, is the 2021 Toyota Corolla Altis GR Sport coming to Malaysia?

If you've been following our website, you'll know that the 2021 Toyota Vios facelift will bring with it a new variant - the Vios GR Sport. 

To most of us, a Vios with Gazoo Racing touches is a bit of a surprise. But that's happening, so it isn't too far-fetched to expect the 2021 Toyota Corolla Altis GR Sport in Malaysia too, since Thailand already has that model on sale.

Drawing inspiration from Toyota's performance-oriented GR models, the Thai-spec Corolla Altis GR Sport gets significant aesthetic touches such as a multi-piece bodykit that altogether changes the car's front fascia.

The aggressive styling cues carry over to the rear of the car as well, with the inclusion of a rear diffuser, bootlid spoiler and GR Sport badge.

Thailand's Altis GR Sport and the Malaysian-spec Altis are is powered by the same 1.8-litre, naturally-aspirated inline four engine making 140 PS and 177 Nm, paired to a CVT.

While we're on the topic, recall that Europe also gets GR Sport touches on their Corolla Sedan, which is due to go on sale beginning January 2021.
