Toyota Gazoo Racing has finally lifted the covers off the prototypes of the new GR GT and GR GT3, giving enthusiasts a clear look at how the brand plans to shape its next phase of performance cars. Both models are set for production around 2027 as Toyota continues to expand its road and customer racing operations. The GR GT is designed for drivers who want one car for both circuits and public roads, while the GR GT3 is specifically created for FIA GT3 competition. Engineers followed three core principles during development: low centre of gravity, low weight with rigidity and strong aerodynamic performance. Testing took place at Fuji Speedway, the Nurburgring and various public roads, guided by Akio Toyoda and a team of professional drivers and engineers inspired by lessons from the Lexus LFA.Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/the-lexus-lfa-successor-is-finally-here-and-its-fully-electric-122346/">The Lexus LFA Successor Is Finally Here – And It’s Fully Electric</a>Both cars share a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine, with the GR GT using hybrid tech for more output and the GR GT3 tuned purely for racing. Each model features its own unique interior layout, chassis setup, and aerodynamic design to meet its distinct purpose.<h2>Toyota GR GT</h2>The Toyota GR GT features an aluminium frame with carbon fibre reinforced plastic panels to keep weight in check while maintaining rigidity. It measures 4,820 mm in length, 2,000 mm in width and 1,195 mm in height with a 2,725 mm wheelbase. <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/12/New-Toyota-GR-GT-1764911026515.webp" alt="New Toyota GR GT.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">The design supports balanced use on public roads and circuits, helped by a 45:55 weight distribution and a low centre of gravity. Double wishbone suspension, forged aluminium arms, carbon ceramic brakes and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres complete the setup.<img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/12/New-Toyota-GR-GT-rear-1764911021884.webp" alt="New Toyota GR GT rear.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">Inside, the GR GT sticks to a focused and simple layout built around driver visibility and control. Sports seats support both daily drives and track outings. The digital display presents shift lights, gear position and driving data in a clean format. <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/12/New-Toyota-GR-GT-Interior-1764911005011.webp" alt="New Toyota GR GT Interior.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">Controls sit close to the steering wheel, and a touchscreen sits on the transmission tunnel for core functions, keeping everything within easy reach.

Power goes to the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission. Combined output exceeds 641bhp and torque goes upto 850 Nm, with a top speed claimed above 320 km/h.<h2>Toyota GR GT3</h2>The GR GT3 follows FIA GT3 standards and focuses on low weight, rigidity and aerodynamic stability. The car measures 4,785 mm in length, 2,050 mm in width and 1,090 mm in height. While it shares core chassis principles with the GR GT, its suspension and balance are tuned for racing.

A full roll cage meets safety requirements, and a yoke-style steering wheel offers precise control. The cabin integrates race-grade computing systems for telemetry and team communication. All switches and controls sit within quick reach, and the stripped layout keeps weight down for long stints.<img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/12/New-Toyota-GR-GT3-Interior-1764910993706.webp" alt="New Toyota GR GT3 Interior.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">The GR GT3 carries the same 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 base engine as the GR GT but tuned for GT3 racing without hybrid assistance. Power and torque vary according to Balance of Performance rules, but the aim is a stable output for endurance and sprint formats. The engine connects to a racing gearbox driving the rear wheels, forming a package ready for customer teams.

Toyota GR GT and GR GT3 prototypes use a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, with the GR GT’s hybrid setup making 641bhp while the GR GT3 runs FIA GT3-spec output.

Toyota has confirmed a title partnership with Haas for the 2026 Formula 1 season, setting up a new chapter for the American outfit as it prepares for the next rules cycle. The team will race as the Toyota Gazoo Racing Haas F1 Team from 2026, with the rebranding tied to the sport’s upcoming regulation changes. Toyota is using this deal to expand its presence in Formula 1 and move beyond its current role. The agreement gives Toyota full team involvement for the first time in years. Both companies say the move is aimed at long-term participation as Formula 1 enters another phase of change. The collaboration lines up with the new regulations due in 2026 and includes deeper technical involvement from Toyota. Both sides expect closer work on engineering, car development, and track operations as they prepare for the shift in the rules.Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/motorsport-news/f1-2026-grid-every-driver-and-team-line-up-confirmed-122341/">F1 2026 Grid: Every Driver and Team Line-Up Confirmed</a>Ayao Komatsu, Team Principal of Haas F1 Team, said: 'It’s naturally a privilege to deepen our relationship with TGR through this new title partnership agreement. Our working relationship to-date has been everything we hoped it would be. It’s been evidenced through our successful TPC running this season but there’s been so much more going on behind the scenes too – including the development and installation of the simulator at our Banbury facility for 2026. The cultivation of personnel, all working collaboratively between Haas F1 Team and TGR, has benefited us greatly and that’s something that will only increase as our partnership matures. We’re excited to further grow with the likes of our driver program too, and it’s been encouraging to see the depth of talent TGR is backing in that process.Haas will also revise the way it operates under the new partnership. The team will work more closely with Toyota on planning, development, and strategy. Haas plans to use Toyota’s motorsport experience and technical resources to strengthen its own structure. The rebranding reflects the start of this deeper cooperation.

Seeing this transformation moved me deeply. And today, I can say this with confidence, Toyota has finally begun to move – really move. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Gene Haas and Ayao Komatsu for standing alongside our young members, believing in their potential, and facing the future with the same passion and perspective.'By taking our partnership with Haas another step forward next year, TGR’s ‘People, Product, Pipeline’ mantra – will accelerate in a way we have never seen before. The time has come for the next generation to take their first steps toward the world stage. Together with Gene Haas, Ayao, and everyone at TGR Haas F1 Team, we will build both a culture and a team for the future.

Toyota India Posts 19% Year-on-Year Sales Growth in November

Toyota sold 30,085 units in the domestic market and 3,667 units overseas. It credited the strong performance to GST reforms and launches of the Urban Cruiser Hyryder Aero & Fortuner Leader Edition.

<a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/toyota/">Toyota</a> has issued a recall for 11,529 units of the Urban Cruiser Hyryder in India due to a defect in the fuel level indicator. The recall affects models produced between December 2024&nbsp;and April 2025. The problem affects only the gasoline models, which feature an analogue fuel gauge in the instrument cluster. In some situations,&nbsp;the gauge may fail to show the correct fuel level, meaning the low fuel warning light might not turn on even when the tank is nearly empty.&nbsp;This could leave drivers unaware of the fuel shortage, increasing the risk of the engine shutting down or stalling while on the road. Notably, Maruti Suzuki recently issued a similar recall for the Grand Vitara, which shares the same technical platform as the Hyryder.Toyota will proactively contact owners of the affected<a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/toyota/urban-cruiser-hyryder/"> Urban Cruiser Hyryder</a> units through its dealer and service network to carry out inspections and replace faulty parts at no cost, as part of the voluntary recall.

The CNG models come with a manual gearbox only, while the strong-hybrid version&nbsp;combines a 1.5-litre petrol engine with an electric motor and battery, and is paired exclusively with a CVT.The Urban Cruiser Hyryder comes packed with advanced features, including ventilated front seats, paddle shifters, ambient lighting, smartphone and smartwatch integration, and a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system.

Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder Recalled in India for Fuel Indicator Defect; 10,000+ Units Affected

Toyota has issued a recall for 11,529 units of the Urban Cruiser Hyryder in India due to a defect in the fuel level indicator. The recall affects models produced between December 2024 and April 2025.

The Toyota Camry Hybrid continues to prove that sedans – particularly hybrids – still deserve a place in a world obsessed with SUVs. Now in its ninth generation, the new Camry offers a blend of modern design, greater efficiency, and a noticeably more engaging drive, while staying true to the trademark comfort that has long defined it.

The new design language gives it a sportier stance and features Toyota’s ‘hammerhead’ face with sharp LED headlights and a bold front grille. It’s sleek and purposeful, though perhaps a touch too aggressive for a luxury sedan. At 4,885mm, it’s longer than before. The 18-inch wheels add significantly to its overall presence. Inside, the warm tan leather upholstery and a clean horizontal dashboard layout lend it an elegant and calming ambience. The seats are plush, and the rear-seat comfort is genuinely limousine-like, with reclining functionality, powered curtains, and dedicated climate controls.Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/videos/2025-toyota-camry-hybrid-first-drive-review-luxury-and-performance-with-25kmpl-india-autox-119395/">2025 Toyota Camry Hybrid | First Drive Review | Luxury and Performance with 25kmpl | India | autoX</a>

Powering the new Camry is a 2.5-litre petrol engine paired with Toyota’s fifth-generation hybrid system. The lighter, more efficient lithium-ion battery contributes to a combined output of 227bhp and 221Nm. On the move, the Camry feels smoother and more responsive than before, thanks to a stiffer suspension setup, which enhances stability at high speeds. The eCVT gearbox, however, remains its weak link – it’s seamless and efficient but lacks engagement.

On the short loop of the Buddh International Circuit, the Camry posted a 1:11.6 lap time – just a tenth of a second slower than the BMW X3 xDrive20d, which produces 188bhp and 400Nm from its 2.0-litre diesel. That’s an impressive feat for a comfort-oriented hybrid. The steering is light but precise, while the suspension is composed, ensuring excellent stability even when pushed to its limits.Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/reviews/car-reviews/2025-camry-hybrid-first-drive-review-luxury-and-performance-with-25kmpl-119388/">2025 Camry Hybrid First Drive Review: Luxury and Performance with 25kmpl</a>

The Camry Hybrid may have lost some of its X-factor, but it continues to excel in terms of quality, comfort, and refinement. A true all-rounder, it’s a perfect reminder that luxury and efficiency can still exist in perfect harmony.

Toyota Camry at autoX Awards: Best Cars of 2025 Ranked

The Toyota Camry feels smoother and more responsive on the move, with a stiffer suspension that improves stability at higher speeds.

Toyota proudly calls the LC300 the “King of SUVs” on its website and marketing material—and looking at the Land Cruiser’s legacy across decades and generations, it’s hard to disagree. If not the king, it certainly sits among the top-ranking SUVs in the world in terms of go-anywhere capability. The Land Cruiser has been in continuous production since 1951, making it Toyota’s longest-running product line. Across its nine generations, it has sold over 10 million units globally. The model is particularly popular in regions with harsh environment, such as Australia and Africa – regions where durability and dependability aren’t optional but essential.

In India, however, most owners don’t buy the Land Cruiser for serious off-roading. The occasional long road trip or a Leh-Ladakh expedition is likely the harshest terrain an LC will ever see here. But there are other qualities that make it so compelling. First, reliability – being a Toyota, the LC is known for being indestructible in a world where luxury cars often suffer from electronic issues due to overcomplexity. Second, practicality – basic things like effective air-conditioning, despite the vast glasshouse and sheer size, are genuinely appreciated, given India’s harsh climate.Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/toyota-land-cruiser-300-globally-revealed-with-457bhp-hybrid-powertrain-121027/">Toyota Land Cruiser 300 Globally Revealed with 457bhp Hybrid Powertrain</a>Third, presence – whether it’s an older generation or the new LC300, its towering stance and massive grille command instant respect on the road. Even the Thar and Scorpio drivers tend to stay away from an LC on the road.

In the final scores, the LC300 turned out to be a bit of a mixed bag. As expected, it lost points on the lap time, but it scored highly in terms of quality, refinement, and drivetrain performance. Design proved somewhat polarising, but the LC’s X-Factor was through the roof – in fact, it received the highest score of all vehicles in that category.Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/toyota-land-cruiser-300-bookings-commence-in-india-prices-start-at-rs-231-crore-119914/">Toyota Land Cruiser 300 Bookings Commence in India; Prices Start at Rs 2.31 Crore</a>Where it does lose ground is on value for money. Priced between ₹2.16 and ₹2.25 crore, it might seem justifiable for what it offers, but many buyers in that price bracket prefer a more premium badge. So, while the LC300 remains one of my personal favourites from this year’s lineup, a few factors inevitably pulled down its overall score.
