The upscale sister of the Auris is called the Blade. It replaced the
Toyota Allex, which, in turn, was the replacement for the
Toyota Sprinter. The Blade was sold at Japanese Toyota dealerships
Toyota Store and
Toyopet Store locations, while the Auris was exclusive to
Toyota Corolla Store and
Toyota NETZ Store locations. It has different front and rear sheetmetal, and is powered by Toyota's 2.4 litre 2AZ-FE engine. Recently Toyota released the
Blade Master and
Blade Master G, an upgraded trim of the Blade which features Toyota's 280 PS (206 kW; 276 hp)
3.5 L 2GR-FE V6 engine, larger brakes, and an upgraded suspension. Toyota discontinued the Blade in April 2012, currently without a direct successor ahead of the replacement of the Auris.
