The new Toyota Celica can get a gasoline engine and will be released in 2027

The company has already begun testing the platform and the power unit of the future model. At the same time, the appearance of the machine has not yet been disclosed – the development is carried out in close cooperation with the dealers that showed prototypes and design sketches. Despite the possible partial electrification, preference is given to the classic internal combustion engine – it is considered the best solution to preserve the sports nature of Celica.

The Japanese Toyota Auto Concert confirmed the work on a new sports car, which can become the heir to the cult model of Celica. The development is carried out taking into account the opinions of key dealers, which have already demonstrated preliminary sketches and prototypes of the car. So far, the exact date of the car entering the market has not been named, but the running tests of the platform and the power unit have already begun.

Camry, Celica and Tundra: Toyota registered in Russia more than 20 Toyota trademarks will release a new Celica. Now officially the President of Toyota hinted at the possible revival of Celica

According to one of the leaders of the North American office of Toyota Cooper Ericksen, the appearance of the future Celica is still a secret, and the images published on the Internet do not correspond to reality. Although the possibility of partial electrification is discussed, the head of the company Akio Toyoda advocates maintaining the internal combustion engine. According to the leadership, it is he who is able to convey real emotions from driving, which are awaiting models of the model.

The fact that the cult Celica would really return to the market have become known in the fall of 2024. Then Toyota extended the rights to the CELICA trademark in Japan, the countries of the European Union and the USA. In addition, the GR Celica brand was registered in Brazil, which confirms the company’s intention to maintain a historical name. Contrary to global trends, the new version of the sports car will not become a full -fledged electric car, but will remain true of the concept with a gasoline engine.
