UMW Toyota launching 5 cars on Feb 17! GR Corolla, GR86, Supra MT, Hilux GR Sport, Corolla Cross GR-S

UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) has released a teaser showing five cars and the Toyota Gazoo Racing logo. The image also has “coming soon” and a date – February 17. “Prepare for an awakening as a new lineup of beasts will be unleashed soon,” the caption reads.

Click on the link provided and you’ll be taken to a registration of interest page, with a ticker counting down to the February 17 launch. The main image is of the same five cars and the “Awaken The Beasts” tagline.

What are those five cars? It’s pretty easy to tell the cars on the far left and right – they are of course the GR Supra and the GR86. In December, UMWT announced that it will be launching the GR86, the GR Supra with a six-speed manual gearbox (the A90 was auto-only; 6MT was announced in April 2022) and the GR Corolla in 2023. Speaking of the GR Corolla, the 304 PS AWD hot hatch sits next to the Supra in the teaser. Click on the links for more on the cars.

Aside from those three actual GR cars, we see a pick-up truck and an SUV. Last month, ads for the Hilux GR Sport appeared online with an estimated price of RM16Xk. There are many versions of the Hilux GR Sport around the world, but the ads used pics of the Thailand version, which makes sense – see it here.

Finally, the sole SUV in the room. Ads of the Corolla Cross GR Sport also surfaced last month, saying that the new sporty range-topper will be a hybrid with a price of RM15Xk. Currently, the Corolla Cross Hybrid tops out the local range at RM142k.

It’s extremely rare to have five cars launched at one go, so it’ll be some event indeed. In the meantime, find out more about what’s coming by clicking the links above – we’ve already detailed the GR86, GR Supra MT, GR Corolla, Hilux GR Sport and Corolla Cross GR Sport. Excited?

      Yeah, how about the NEW Gen Vios as well as the much-anticipated Innova Zenix instead? Those cars stated in this article should at best be brought in as LIMITED EDITION-for the maximum of 10,000 cars for each model, whereas the Zenix, Corolla, Corolla Cross Hybrid, Vios and Veloz should be retained as UMW Toyota’s bread and butter stock instead

      3.0 Supra. Most people will buy a recon GTR. How many bought the BMW Z4? if 2.0T MT maybe price can be lowered to rm400k but still too expensive for most people.

    GR Supra MT will be 3.0 so the tax and profit margin plus power range will drive it above rm500k range. You can easily guess by comparing pricing of other similar cars from porsche, mercedes and bmw.

    The GR Corolla will cost more than the GR86, being Civic Type R competitor expect it to be around rm330k by looking at how much the GR Yaris cost.

    The GR86 will be around rm260k. Since the BRZ is around the rm240-rm250k toyota badge will command a premium over Subaru. Current grey imports are selling the GR86 between rm210k-rm330k.

    Good time to get the previous GT86 and BRZ.

    Since when putting up accessories and touch up consider new car launching? This is just another variant of the aging cars. This is not even a facelift.
