Are you sure the current EUDM car is even Euro 6 compliant, and Toyobaru didn't get an end of series exemption since this gen is on its way out? I dont think anything changed from Euro 5 to Euro 6 for passenger car petrol emissions limits that would have stopped them from using the updated engine if they had been ok with the certification costs. There are much more powerful cars running around that can meet that requirement so I dont see 5 hp on top of 200 being a significant hurdle.
