Why does the GRX125 use a 5-speed automatic instead of a 6-speed?
At the time of development, Toyota paired their AWD configuration with the A750H 5-speed automatic gearbox due to packaging constraints and component compatibility.
Is the GRX125 suitable for snow conditions?
Yes, its permanent AWD system provides excellent traction and stability in snowy climates, making it highly popular in northern regions of Japan like Hokkaido.
