Sitting above the XTR in the model hierarchy, the GT is a more premium offering. It utilises the LED headlamps, dual-zone climate control, nine-inch touchscreen and leather-bound steering wheel and gear knob as found in the XTR, but it adds a remote start function (operable via the key fob), chrome-finished heated exterior mirrors, heated front seats and brown leather seat trim.

Most of the updates are similar to those introduced with the updated City sedan that was launched in Malaysia in August 2023.
