Description
The Yaris GR Sport isn't just another supermini—it's a statement. Boasting exclusive styling cues, it features bespoke 18-inch alloy wheels (often accented in red or machined finishes), a mesh front grille with a distinctive “G” motif, a striking T-shaped rear diffuser, and GR Sport badging on the bumpers and tailgate. Bi-tone paint options, such as Ash Grey with a sleek black roof, elevate its street presence even further.
Inside, sporty touches abound: leather-wrapped steering wheel and gear lever, red contrast stitching, and GR-branded sports seats that hug you tight—and look the part.
Hybrid Efficiency Meets Nimble Performance
Under the bonnet lies a 1.5-litre three-cylinder petrol engine coupled with an electric motor—producing around 114 bhp in earlier models and up to 129 bhp in the refreshed line-up.
This setup delivers brisk 0–62 mph times of approximately 9.7 seconds, while still delivering impressive fuel economy—often exceeding 60 mpg in combined use, and even flirting with 65–70 mpg under ideal conditions.
In daily driving, the hybrid system shines—especially around town. The electric motor offers instant torque, ensuring sharp acceleration, minimal petrol usage, and a smooth, refined power delivery.
Toyota has tuned the GR Sport chassis to feel athletic. Extra underfloor bracing boosts rigidity, aerodynamically-tuned wheel arch liners reduce drag, and the upgraded shock absorbers and rear springs sharpen responses.
