  • The Toyota GR Yaris was designed to be the contender for the 2021 World Rally Championship title. But then certain world-changing events happened and it was canned. But thankfully what Toyota didn't cancel was the road version. Thus a 260PS, 360Nm, four-wheel-drive version of the Yaris arrived on our shores in late 2020. There is very little that connects the GR Yaris to the original Yaris. Even the name, GR, tells you that this is something special. Since GR stands for Gazoo Racing, Toyota's motorsport team that has dominated Le Mans and the WRC for the last few years.
    We were lucky enough to get our hands on the Toyota GR Yaris for a full test drive around the roads of Sussex to see if it really lives up to all the hype. Is this a true WRC car for the road? Or has it all been overplayed?

      Having recently had my 182 Trophy written off and tested the usual suspects, for Motorway hauls with 3 kids and five suitcases, no (literally not physically possible) For B road blasts in the wet (ie, a lot of England) oh yes. Never put cash down so quick.

    If you told me 3 years ago when I bought my Focus RS that I'd lust after a 3 pot Yaris in 2020 I'd tell you where to go but this year is so bonkers... and I've got one on order due May 2021 and I cannot wait! Won't have the same outright grunt but I'm sure it will be more usable on the average British B road anyway.

    No, this is a car that looks, feels and drives like the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, and it’s the only real heiress of the Japanese magic. Best car of 2020 in all cars not only the hot hatch, real deal. Thanks for sharing. Hope Toyota will extend production and offer it for longer time so more people can have a peace of that cake. 👍🚗

      Because if this mentality
      Even in auto car’s review the journalist said this is more fun to drive than any new supercar out there, heck mat watson is planning on trading his 996 911 for one of these

We have spoken at length about the GRY and he knows damn well what it is. So the question is, do we trust HIS source? It was a company source and not another guy at the water cooler at the dealership. Let's discuss this again in 12 months. We know how the US market sometimes gets the shaft in these performance variants. I just might trade in my Golf R for this.

      "Unlike the requirements for the preceding Group A cars, manufacturers were no longer required to build "homologation specials" in order to meet approval. The base model did not need to have all the characteristics of the WRC car, as evidenced from cars such the Peugeot 206, 307, Citroën Xsara, and Škoda Fabia, which during this period had no road car variant with a turbocharged petrol engine or four-wheel-drive."-wiki

      Some people just want a homologation special. I can’t get a Sierra rs500 or integrale or 22b etc, I could go buy this GR4 now. Also the warranty is 10 years here so it’s even more tempting as a long term prospect.
