The foreign media "Automachi" has previously released a preview of the new car. The new Celica Sports still maintains the classic short wheelbase setting and the unique two-door coupe shape. The front of the car introduces a C-shaped LED headlight design, paired with a sports front bumper with a large air intake, creating a highly recognizable new-generation family-like dynamic face. As for the rear of the car, it adopts a C-shaped LED taillight set that echoes the front of the car, and is connected by a central light guide strip. The duck tail compartment cover with a spoiler design and the single-side exhaust tailpipe configuration further bring out a more distinctive performance momentum.
