Models that came in Awaken Yellow

Listed for these models in Japanese catalogue colour listings. Not every colour was offered for every year or trim.

Other Toyota models outside our model library used 5B7 too.

Has a 5B7 car been resprayed?

  1. Find the model plate and read the code. On the manufacturer’s plate in the engine bay, usually on the bulkhead or a front strut top. It’s printed with the trim code as COLOR/TRIM (C/TR): in 040/FB20 the paint code is 040. If it says 5B7, the car left the factory in Awaken Yellow.
  2. Check the V5C. For Awaken Yellow it should say YELLOW or GOLD. Add the paint code to our free check and we’ll compare it with the DVLA record for you.
  3. Check the auction sheet. It should describe the car as yellow and usually prints the code. A sheet that says one colour with a code for another means the car was painted before it was sold in Japan. Our auction sheet translator flags that.
  4. Look for the old colour where a respray rarely reaches: the engine bay, door shuts, inside the boot lid and fuel flap, and under rubber seals.
