Toyota Racing Development (TRD) is launching sales in Japan of a new comprehensive tuning package for the Toyota Blade (also known as the Auris), including the Blade Master version. All components of the kit are available both separately and as a single set. The full list of items — about 40 positions — along with prices is published on the manufacturer's official website. The offer is intended exclusively for the Japanese domestic market.
The car's exterior has noticeably changed: new bumpers have been installed, with the front one featuring a pronounced aerodynamic "lip," and side sill covers have also appeared. The front optics remain unchanged, but the rear lights can be replaced with transparent ones — this option was originally offered only for the Blade Master version. The kit also includes a spoiler mounted on the fifth door.
In the interior, accessories with TRD branding appear: floor mats, gear shift knob, pedal covers, and an engine start/stop button. Additionally, sport front seats are available. The chassis has also been refined: ground clearance is reduced, and rigidity is increased thanks to new springs and shock absorbers.
As for the 3.5-liter gasoline engine of the Blade Master, its power of 280 hp remains untouched — no additional work on the engine has been carried out. Instead, a sport exhaust system with tuned sound, a high-efficiency oil filter, and an oil filler cap with the TRD logo are offered.
Let us remind you that the Toyota Blade Master is currently considered the most powerful front-wheel-drive passenger car in Toyota's Japanese lineup and one of the strongest front-wheel-drive models in the brand's history.
