All GR-badged models available in SA and their prices

Toyota’s sub-division, Gazoo Racing, begins its life in the local market by drip-feeding offshoots of popular monikers. Now, the GR badge can be found in almost half of the firm’s local range. These are all the GR-badged models available in South Africa.

Toyota Corolla Cross

Toyota aimed to inject some of the Gazoo Racing division’s flare and style into its rather tame people carrier. What this spawned were two range-topping derivatives of the hybrid and all-combustion 1,8-litre Corolla Cross. Changes to the Cross’ formula include different styling of the front bumpers, grilles and fender flares while the most notable hardware enhancements come in the form of new suspension components.

Toyota GR86

The GR-badged 86 stands as the revival of an icon. In partnership with Subaru, this sports coupe offers an engaging driving experience by way of its D-I-Y transmission and obedient power plant. Powered by a peppy 2,4-litre boxer engine, the GR86 is purposed as an “analogue car for the digital age”.

Toyota GR Yaris

Arguably one of the most well-known and revered offerings from the Gazoo Racing stable, the GR Yaris is the modern-day hallmark of driver-focused and enthusiast-pleasing four-wheelers. It’s powered by a beguiling 1,6-litre three-cylinder mated to an engaging six-speed transmission. Hailed as a track-ready toy more than a daily driving appliance, the GR Yaris is a must-have for those with track days aplenty and some money to burn.

Toyota GR Corolla

A personal favourite. The GR Corolla is one of the most engaging and pleasing hot hatches available on the market as of the publication of their article. It’s powered by the same engine as the GR Yaris and is founded on a suspension system derived from rally technology. It offers a heart-rate elevating driving experience without sacrificing daily drivability and all for a price tag well below its toughest rivals.

Toyota Hilux

Needing no introduction, the Hilux is revered as royalty in its segment and the GR treatment affords it some great cosmetic appeal and a few hardware goodies. Gazoo Racing has gifted the competent Hilux package with a new suspension system and has increased its power output by way of a tune. Aside from this, the Hilux GR model is characterized by a black and red colour scheme and improved cabin quality.

Toyota GR Supra

After a 22-year-long hiatus, the Supra nameplate has been revived and what a monster it has become. With some help from BMW, Toyota’s GR-badged MKV Supra is a race-ready weapon with just as much on-road manners as it has power. Now offered with a six-speed manual transmission, the Supra offerings are sweeter than they’ve ever been.

Toyota Land Cruiser

The Land Cruiser 300 is almost infallible. Its go-anywhere and do-anything offering makes it one of the most lust-worthy luxury SUV’s on the market. Although it bears a jaw-dropping price tag, Toyota’s rugged and mighty five-seater is a force to be reckoned with in its segment. These GR-badged variants are equipped with manually selectable electronic diff locks, an improved damping system and a slew of interior tweaks to elevate the cabin quality.

Topical tips on buying used – Chapter 1

Image
Buying a used car can be harrowing, whether privately or from a dealer. Here are some tips, as well as some things to watch out for. Beware of low mileages, especially on smaller or cheaper cars. It is always possible that the odometer has been turned back. Some things to bear in mind are:- diesels are often bought because they the driver needs to undertake long trips without consuming vast amounts of fuel. This could be a sales rep, or someone travelling large distances to work, lots of lengthy trip for family holidays, etc. So, usually higher mileages than normal. An expensive or luxury car may not see much time on the road, but very seldom a “workhorse”. This makes the executive cars likely to have a lot more life left than the overworked and abused hatchback. These also spend most of their life in a home garage or undercover parking lot at work.
