- BUY, LEASE OR FINANCE A TOYOTA GR YARIS FROM OSV: bit.ly/31kJCjH
Ever wondered what a Toyota Yaris might be like with over 250 braked horses beneath the bonnet? No, we hadn't either. But Toyota has made one anyway, this wild GR Yaris. It's a rather unique confection....
Background
This car is actually rather significant, the first true performance model developed entirely in-house by Toyota in more than 20 years. We've had quick models from the brand in that time, but only with outside assistance; the GT86 (developed with Subaru) and the GR Supra (co-created with BMW). The GR Yaris in contrast, is entirely the work of Toyota's Gazoo Racing performance division, hence the 'GR' moniker.
There was a wild version of the last Yaris too, the Yaris GRMN, but this car is quite a bit more powerful, now has 4WD and will be made in much greater numbers. Its purpose is to aid homologation the next generation Yaris World Rally Car, at the same time as boosting the image of the freshly launched fourth-generation Yaris supermini. Chief engineer Naohiko Saito couldn't believe his luck when Toyota asked him and his team to create a Yaris like no other. He's done exactly that.
Driving Experience
This, the second Toyota GR Motorsport-influenced product, is quite differently orientated to the first. Whereas the GR Supra is a sports car developed through track racing, the GR Yaris is a model engineered through participation in rallying. A car very much in the mould performance classics of the past like Subaru's Impreza WRX and the Mitsubishi Evo. Those cars used 2.0-litre engines but units of that size wouldn't fit in the Yaris - and anyway would be too heavy. Even the 1.6-litre powerplant that is used here has just three cylinders - but it packs quite a turbo punch; 257bhp, 360Nm and 62mph from rest in just 5.5s. The old Yaris GRMN, for reference, put out 209bhp.
This GR Yaris's powertrain is mated to a 6-speed 'IMT' 'Intelligent Manual Transmission' stick shift gearbox with permanent four-wheel drive provided by the brand's latest GR-Four system. This features a multi-plate clutch delivering power to all four wheels via three pre-set torque distribution levels; 'Normal' has a 60:40-split front-to-rear; 'Sport' pushes nearly all the power to the back 30:70; and 'Track' has an equal 50:50-split. There are big brakes too - 356mm grooved front brake discs featuring 4-pot calipers. And a set of sticky tyres too - either Dunlop Sport Maxx or Michelin Pilot Sport rubber. Plus the regular Yaris model's basic torsion beam rear suspension is replaced by a more sophisticated double wishbone set-up.
Design and Build
Engineer Naohiko Saito was put under pressure here to retain the regular Yaris model's 5-door body shell, but he wasn't having it, holding out for the stiffer, bespoke 3-door body that no other Yaris model in the range can have. Rally homologation rules required this body shell to closely follow that of the ordinary production Yaris but within that brief, the design team were still able to make a few other changes. The roofline for example, could be substantially lower and the rear could feature a much wider track, with beefier rear wheel arches.
Weight saving was a massive consideration, which is why some of the body parts (intentionally) flex to the touch. The panels make extensive use of carbon fibre and aluminium, which is why the car weighs in at only 1,280kg. Underneath it all, the platform this car sits on shares only the front end from the ordinary Yaris model's GA-B chassis; the rear end uses the bigger GA-C underpinnings from the larger Corolla hatch.

If you just want a detailed review of a car, and not track or quarter of a mile tests, this channel OSV is in a class of its own 👍🏻
Agreed
Thank you for your support, Mark! We love bringing you in-depth and detailed reviews every week 👍
Yes, have to agree on that. Great channel.
Sure is. That grainy effect makes the video look like it was filmed in the 90s
Again detailed knowledge of the car and a proper review. Other channels seem amateurish by comparison.
That's great to hear. Thank you for watching 👍
Wow, that was one well informative detailed review of the GR Yaris. Your presentation and knowledge of this car including its features on different models is actually better than most Toyota sales representatives I've come across.
Have to say what a great in-depth qaulity review. You made me aware of things I did not even realise and I have had my GR for 3 weeks. Great reviewer want to see more of him reviewing more drivers cars old and new. He is definatly reminding me of old school top gear and his detail , knowledge and reviewing are much better than the current crop.of TH-camrs and Car reviewers.. fantastic work. Just wish I knew his name 😎

That looked fun

28:25 we have 10 years coverage here in Switzerland 🇨🇭 😊
A proper car review.
Thank you, Mark. We aim to provide the most in-depth and informative reviews out there 👍
That GY70GRK is the used car to look out for as it seems to be the most used press car 😅
How to activate the parking sensors ? In mine only camera functions .
JBL speakers not available on circuit pack. Great car though
The most exciting Toyota since Celica. Looks great and upgrading to Five wheel nuts helps this.
Thanks for the great feedback 👍 Are you interested in getting a GR Yaris?
@@OsvUkVehicleSupply Sure.
Is the manual handbrake just for the 'hot' version? p.s. This guy is one the best presenters on TH-cam.
Hi Chris, the GR Yaris is only available in Manual transmission. If you'd like to find out more and you're interested in getting one, feel free to get in touch 👍
I am getting 33.2mpg on my GR - he must have been hitting it hard lol - great review though !
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it 👍
The comfort pack has also heated seats and heated steering wheel
Thanks for the extra insight, James 👍
Yes but the WIND NOISE FROM THE DRIVERS DOOR IS ANNOING..........No fix yet from Toyota GB.....
Hi guys from my country malta Europe the curcuit pack is around €50000 , how much is approximate in other countries and from my toyota dealer told me that if i book with deposit now production of my order would be next year . Is it the same in your countries?
Yes. Orders taken now in the U.K. won’t be for delivery until at least May 2022. One dealer was reporting every second call being for a GR Yaris.
UK waitlist for the Circuit pack now LATE 2022
@@relentlesspursuit6894 crikey! I only ordered mine about 3 weeks ago. Glad I did. It’s going to get worse once it pops up on Top Gear.
@@marklee7545 which one did you order - congrats on getting one, it's well worth the wait
@@relentlesspursuit6894 Circuit Pack in Scarlet Flare. Scheduled for delivery May 22.
I didn't think you could get a Circuit Pack car with uprated JBL speakers and parking sensors (not that it matters ha!)
You cant 😀
Lol you cant in the UK......you can get UV screening on the glass though but not the heated seats or wheel.....AUZ get both btw.......but not the UV screening lol
his review is better than CW and on par with CB
Thanks for the great feedback, Yudha. Glad you enjoyed the review 👍
:-) Love it - Drive it. Buy it if you can.
Great to hear that you love it as much as we do!
Toyota going down the turbo charging route is like Bob Dylan going electric.
Great review. As a big fan of your channel, what is say is don't make videos longer than 30 mins, it's too long and hard to remain engaged.
Thank you for your feedback 👍 We hope to deliver more 30-minute reviews like these in the future.
My big question is can I squash the kids in the back? If so I’m buying one without a doubt. If not the kids are going to have to start walking more
Hi Ace, our Vehicle Specialists can look into this for you. We supply every make and model in the UK 👍 Fill-in this quick form and we'll get in touch: bit.ly/39YHCml
You need your eyes wide open going in to buy of these. Untried components and don't take it to a car park. To see what is left after a fully laden shopping trolley hits one of those aluminium panels will make you wince, not to mention the flimsy rear bumper. Oh and don't ever get to the situation of having to replace the forged wheels. That will be £1600. For one. Otherwise, will be an interesting footnote for Toyota who suddenly realised that whitegoods don't sell, unless your an uber driver. 😅

A fantastic car however totally wasted on UK roads still great though
Thanks for watching, Steve 👍 Are you interested in getting a GR Yaris?
@@OsvUkVehicleSupply Hi yes I am had two focus rs 's thing is don't really want one before next year August time however I've been looking seems as though it takes some time before delivery

Wasted on UK roads?
In my experience across bumpy/poorly tarmaced B roads, it’s the perfect car. Round the M25 then yes totally agree with you!
Three cylinder puts me off.
I do believe the Koenigsegg Gemera has the title of ”strongest 3-cyl”.
Hardly a production car is it ?
@@leonk5793 Well it is in production.. :)
