Rally-born and bred for the road; it was a hot hatch that took the world by storm in 2020. Now it gets sharper, harder and angrier – petrolheads rejoice, this is the facelifted 2024 Toyota GR Yaris. Taking Toyota Gazoo Racing’s (TGR) learnings from road, track and dirt; as well as input from Toyota Motor Corporation Chairman and Master Driver Akio Toyoda, a.k.a. Morizo, the new GR Yaris now receives further technical, design and construction enhancements that promise to deliver an even greater d

Toyota has announced prices of the Toyota GR Corolla at its home market in Japan. Two variants are available but only 1 is relevant to us. The RZ variant sells for JPY 5,250,000, which is 15 percent more expensive than the highest specs GR Yaris RZ High Performance. The other variant is the Morizo Edition, a stripped out, 2-seater track missile that’s definitely not coming here. That variant costs JPY 7,150,000. Both the GR Corolla and GR Yaris share more or less the same powertrain – a 1.6-litr

The Toyota GR Yaris, a hot hatch that I've wanted to drive so badly ever since it was launched. Who wouldn't? It appealed to the very core of me, being a person that enjoyed, cherished and relished the simple act of driving. The GR Yaris positively celebrates it. So, when the invite came in our mailbox to sample the Toyota GR Yaris (in Sepang International Circuit no less), I yelped in delight and couldn't sleep a few nights. This was a car Toyota built for car people, honed with its racing and

We know, we know, you really, really like the 2020 Toyota GR Yaris. Granted, it's RM 299k price tag (update: RM 286k until 30-June 2021) in Malaysia have left some saying "better buy a Mercedes-Benz/BMW/Audi" but truly, this is a car unlike those. All of them fit certain moulds, but only the GR Yaris fits in the one labelled 'roadgoing rally car'. Hype for this little B-segment hot-hatch is comparable to the 2020 Proton X50 - except this is on a global scale. Exterior - angry little buzzard Thes

Toyota has officially launched the totally bonkers GR Yaris hot hatch in Japan. The Toyota GR Yaris is conceived as a vehicle that “anyone can drive the way they want with peace of mind on any road in the world”. Now, that’s a mission statement that I can abide by.
