Overview
- Toyota makes a smaller-diameter steering wheel standard, relocating illuminated switches inward to prevent accidental presses and improving grip during 180-degree turns.
- Electric power steering gains an expanded torque-detection range via a stiffer torsion bar and revised software to maintain reliable assist with high-grip tyres and heavy braking.
- Revised damper tuning is paired with 18-inch BBS forged wheels and Bridgestone Potenza Race tyres on RZ High Performance variants for sustained high-grip control.
- The turbo 1.6-liter three-cylinder and GR-Four AWD carry over; buyers choose a six-speed manual or an eight-speed GR automatic, with the automatic costing 350,000 yen more.
- Japan’s lineup spans five trims with orders open from ¥3,617,200, and heated seats plus a heated wheel can now be specified with the vertical handbrake via Navigation or Comfort packages.
