Blade Master is the high-power GRE156 hatch built around Toyota’s 2GR-FE 3.5 V6. It is a different buyer from everyday Blade 2.4 cars.
The separate 2GR-FSE Model Report is outside this page’s SEVS engine scope.
These cars are older performance hatches, so service history and overall presentation drive value as much as kilometres.
Estimates only.
Example landed and complied pricing on this page starts from about $10,900 AUD, with a recent auction-based median around $11,700 AUD (AUD 1 = JPY 105). Not a quote.

Toyota offered the Blade Master with several genuine equipment levels across its production run. Grade names and standard features changed with the model year, so compare the build month and Japanese catalogue rather than assuming all Master models have the same trim.
| Factory grade / edition | Customer-facing equipment summary |
|---|---|
| Blade Master | The performance-oriented 3.5L V6 entry grade, with factory 6AT and sporty styling. |
| Blade Master G | Higher-equipment grade with premium cabin trim, including Toyota’s Alcantara/leather seat specification and electrically adjustable seating on the 2009–2012 catalogue version. |
| Blade Master G Version L (earlier range) | Earlier higher-luxury variant known for red leather and heated seats. Present as a year-specific earlier edition, not a grade offered throughout the full 2007–2012 run. |
On late-production Blade Master models, trim and factory-installed equipment matter as much as engine performance. Distinguish original options from aftermarket installations.
| Equipment | Verified buyer guidance |
|---|---|
| Alcantara / leather seating | Distinctive Master G feature in Toyota’s 2009/12-on catalogue; seat material and condition vary by example. |
| Electrically adjustable front seats | Included in higher Master G published equipment; not assumed on every Master. |
| HDD navigation | Optional on Toyota’s 2009/12 Master G listing. Aftermarket head units are not factory options. |
| HID projector headlights, front fog lamps and 17-inch alloys | Standard on Toyota’s 2009/12 Master G catalogue specification. |
| Cruise control | Optional on Toyota’s 2009/12 Master G listing. |
| Vehicle Stability Control / Traction Control | Toyota lists VSC/TRC as fitted on the 2009/12 Master G, with hill-start assistance. |
