    UMW Toyota retails the sportier trim of its popular SUV at a price of RM 142,000 (on the road without insurance). It is based on the non-hybrid Corolla Cross and thus powered by the familiar 1.8-litre mill paired with a seven-speed CVT gearbox with sequential shiftmatic. The engine delivers the same levels of output i.e. 139 hp of maximum power and 172 Nm of peak torque.

These include - a sporty front grille, restyled front, and rear bumpers, 18-inch GR Sport Design alloy wheels, and smoked LED tail lights. Adding to exterior highlights are GR badging around the body and three dual-tone colour schemes (Platinum White Pearl, Nebula Blue Metallic, and Red Mica Metallic) paired with a black roof.
