Trademark Toyota GR Corolla Fuels Speculation Of New Hot Hatch
It was also registered as “C-HR GR-Sport.
Trademark technologies are increasingly becoming a reliable source of knowledge for an automotive maker betting on upcoming goods. Take Toyota, for example. Which recently registered “GR Hilux” to show a possible rival of the Ford Ranger Raptor said it had a punchy V6 diesel.
Talking of generators. If we had to focus on another patent filing a new “I-Force Max” could be in the works.
Not just that, but it would appear as a GR Corolla might be on its way. Based on a new trademark filing with the Australian government department regulating intellectual property.
Features:
As seen below, Toyota applied for the trademark on March 17, almost two weeks ago. And is now waiting to see whether. And not the authorities will consider the company’s applications.
The claim filed in Class 12, reserved for “Motor Vehicles; Motor Vehicle Engines; Motor Vehicle Parts, Frames, and the Motor Vehicle Accessories; With so Motor Vehicle Windows Glass Panels.”
A GR Corolla’s rumors have been floating around the Web for quite some time. While Sean Hanley, Toyota Australia’s sales and marketing vice president. And so said not long ago that a hot hatch not coming out anytime soon.
The rumor mill suggests that a Japanese rival VW Golf GTI. It will be powered by the same 1.6-liter 3-cylinder turbocharged engine within the GR Yaris. It produces a good 257 horsepower. And 266 pound-feet (360 Newton-metes) torque in output supermini.
The GR Yaris is an all-wheel drive. And uses a six-speed manual gearbox. So, it is shaping up to be a real hoot.
“GR Corolla” not Toyota’s single trademark patent filed. So, with the Australian registry on the same day as “C-HR GR-Sport.” The entry-level GR Sport model so positioned. In the company’s product portfolio between the midlevel GR and the range-topping GRMN.
In Japan, in October 2019 the C-HR GR Sport was unveiled. So, with a range of graphic changes. And minimal hardware improvements for suspension and steering.
