The 2025 Toyota GR Corolla facelift has gone on sale in the US. It’s got a little bit of everything – power, upgrades, and, of course, a price hike. The base Core trim with a 6-speed manual transmission starts at USD 39,995 (around RM 165k), marking a USD 2,360 increase over the outgoing model – a 6% jump. If you’re the kind who prefers an automatic transmission, you’ll have to shell out an extra USD 2,000 for Toyota's new 8-speed automatic, bringing the total to USD 41,995 (around RM 173k). Ste

Talk about a story for the ages – Rookie Racing's Toyota GR Corolla has made history as the world's first liquid hydrogen-fuelled car to complete a race by successfully crossing the finish line at Round 2 of the Super Taikyu's 24 hours of Fuji this past weekend. Hydrogen (H2) as fuel is not new per se, as Toyota has fielded H2-combusting Corolla race cars since 2021. The main difference between now and then is the trialling of liquid hydrogen, a tech that promises higher energy density, longer d

Just a year or so on after development began, Toyota has hit the track with a GR Corolla fueled by liquid hydrogen – marking the car's first public appearance, and the first time ever for a manufacturer's vehicle fueled as such to hit the racetrack. Having made its track debut on 23-February at Fuji Speedway, this GR Corolla is different because previous cars (like the one that raced in Buriram this past December) used gaseous hydrogen. This GR Corolla ran three sessions on the day, simulating r

“You can’t have your cake and eat it too” is a common expression that basically means you can’t have it all. In the context of cars, you’d have to make a trade-off between getting a family car and a sports car.

Endurance racing is perhaps one of the toughest proving grounds for any car – ask Toyota, they'll know. But they prove instrumental in advancing technologies, more so when it comes to new forms of propulsion like hydrogen and synthetic, carbon neutral (CN) fuel. Toyota will be testing both out by participating in this weekend's (17- to 18-December 2022) 25-hour Idemitsu 1500 Super Endurance race at Chang International Circuit, Buriram, Thailand. Through Rookie Racing, they will field their ORC R

At a media event in Kuala Lumpur today, UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) President, Ravindran K., says that the company has achieved 90,595 units sold in Malaysia to date.
