It could be easy to overlook the prestigious performance segment of the brand Toyota. As one of the leading vehicle manufacturers in the world, it has entered a realm wherein we associate Toyota with certain qualities: Safety, reliability, and of course, durability.
There is nothing wrong with this assumption, but it does not encompass all that is on Toyota’s list of offerings. Every vehicle that carries the GR badge underlines this point. Toyota has been assembling a range of top-notch performance vehicles, and the GR Yaris is one of the flagship models leading the pack.
Apart from coming equipped with a stunning array of performance features, the Toyota GR Yaris is also doing more important work. It is changing the perception of recognizable names. The traditional Toyota Yaris is not normally associated for its ability to drift with ease on a race track, until now.
There is currently one variant available in the Toyota GR Yaris Range:
This may be neatly subdivided into two further models: The Toyota GR Yaris and the Toyota GR Yaris Rally. Assembled in the spirit of the famed Gazoo Racing (the performance segment of Toyota) there are some amazing engineering efforts that we can observe with this model.
Aligning with all models in this segment, the GR Yaris is lightweight and solid on the track. The range is equipped with a 1.6l, 3-cylinder engine. The engine itself comes standard with a turbocharger and emits a torque output of up to 360Nm. It is a stunning achievement. It has also given the Toyota GR Yaris the distinction of being the most powerful 3-cylinder production engine in the world.
There is also a marriage of a 6-speed manual transmission drive with an all-wheel drive system. This is a necessary addition, as the all-wheel drive allows the torque of the vehicle to be distributed evenly. The results? The Toyota GR Yaris can race to 100km/h in a mere 5.5 seconds and can achieve a top speed of 230km/h. It is on par with its peers on the racetrack and surpasses a few.
The design of this model also heightens its performance on the road. A standout in its assembly is the inclusion of a low-weight Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer roof (CFRP) which is useful in elevating the model’s execution on the track. There are also 18” alloy rims and striking LED-powered headlights.
The interior of the Toyota GR Yaris is embossed in luxury. Expect a leather steering wheel, body-hugging sports seats, and aluminium sports pedals.
Let’s have a look at this model's accessories.
