Get ready for a surprise from UMW Toyota tonight at 7:30 pm

KUALA LUMPUR: Whatever you are planning to do tonight at 7:30 pm, drop it and tune in to UMW Toyota’s online live event as the company is inviting all Malaysian for something important to share. But what’s the actual deal? Well, no one knows. We are just in-hand a company’s press release and some social media teasers for a guess. In the publication, it mentioned making some key announcements on the big day. 

“Whatever you’re doing on 17 December 2020 – IT CAN WAIT! We have a surprise to share, and let’s just say that there’s a bit of something for everyone to appreciate especially after what has been an incredibly challenging year for Malaysians on all fronts,” said Ravindran K. President of UMW Toyota Motor.

The social media teaser campaign of the event also started last week, which, however, not reveal much, but featured a racing helmet twice. On December 14, we saw a baby alongside the helmet with the caption “meet our newborn.” And in yesterday's teaser, the helmet was prominently shown with the word, “Ignite the drive with us.”

Provided this, the expectations are high that it could be something related to motorsports, may be a new series or a new sporty model. The UMWT is also involved in some racing events such as the Vios Challenge series and it is also providing training for a new generation of racers.

If not this, then it could be the debut of GR Yaris hot hatch as we also saw the teasers of the widely acclaimed model on the company’s social media channel back in July. This can also be connected to the Thailand market, where the bookings of the hatchback are now open, so Malaysia could be the next in the queue. 

One more vague guess is the launch of the new Vios or Yaris that could be exciting for the ones who have been expecting their new versions before the end of this year to grab the benefit of SST exemption.

Well, we are very curious to know the surprise, if you are too, tune in to UMW Toyota Motor’s Facebook or Instagram pages tonight at 7:30 pm.
