Why buy a used Toyota GR Yaris?

While the regular Yaris is focused on efficiency, the GR Yaris is totally reengineered as a road-going rally car. Built to compete in WRC racing, the GR Yaris shares little with the standard car – most of its body panels are made from lightweight aluminium and the roof is made from carbon fibre. There are many mechanical changes that turn the humble Yaris into a superhatch, including a red-eyed turbocharged engine, clever four-wheel-drive system and beefed-up brakes.

Popular Toyota GR Yaris trims for sale at Motorpoint

There aren’t any separate trim levels for the GR Yaris. Cars were optionally fitted with either the Convenience Pack or the Circuit Pack, but you can’t have both.

The Convenience Pack includes parking sensors, a head-up display and sat nav. Circuit Pack gets limited-slip differentials, lightweight wheels and uprated suspension.

Owning a used Toyota GR Yaris

Unsurprisingly, the GR Yaris does share its interior architecture with the common-or-garden Yaris, although you do get lots of sporty touches. There are GR badges, very snug bucket seats, metal pedals and a speedometer that maxes out at 180mph – even if the top speed is 143mph. The 1.6-litre petrol engine under the stubby bonnet is a real delight, with addictive acceleration and near-endless grip from the four-wheel-drive system. Expect running costs to be noticeably higher than the standard Yaris thanks to the car's high-performance hardware.

Your Toyota GR Yaris questions answered

The GR Yaris was built to be a rally car first and foremost, but never got to race in the WRC as the competition changed its rules to make teams use hybrid cars. Toyota decided this wouldn’t do, and kept the GR Yaris as a purely petrol engined car. This pretty compact car has 257hp and performance-focused all-wheel drive, plus a tricksy suspension setup to go round corners at high speed.

Let’s just say performance takes a higher priority than practicality, even if this is a car you might reasonably drive on a daily basis. The obvious difference is that the GR Yaris is a three-door car, whereas the standard Yaris is a five-door, which’ll make it more difficult to get in and out of the back seats. The roofline is a whole 9cm lower than the standard Yaris, too, maximising aerodynamic efficiency but chopping out a bit of headroom at the same time. And, because of some of the performance updates, the boot stands at 174 litres – some 107 litres less than the car it’s loosely based on.

There’s only one, but it’s all the engine you could want. A 1.6-litre three-cylinder petrol engine doesn’t sound very exciting, does it? But power is turned up to 261hp – that’s a lot in a car this small – and four-wheel drive comes as standard. Twiddle through the driving modes and the amount of power sent to each axle is different, enabling a slightly different feel on track or on the road. Toyota’s weight-saving measures means the car’s pretty light by modern standards.
