Overall, the exterior looks significantly improved with a sporty feel and bold design. However, some enthusiasts might prefer to see changes to the rear end, which remains similar to the previous model.
Interior and Performance Expectations
While there is limited information about the interior and engine specifications, we can expect the same 1.6 liter and 2.0 liter engines, producing similar power as before. There may be the addition of a new gearbox.
The Toyota Safety Sense system, an array of safety features, will also be included. This system encompasses:
- Pre-collision warning
- Lane departure warning
