The GR Yaris is a high-performance hatchback designed for a driver-first experience. It features a powerful 1.6-litre turbocharged 3-cylinder engine (the most powerful production 3-cylinder engine) and a sophisticated GR-Four all-wheel-drive system that can be customised for different driving modes. Key aspects include enhanced body rigidity, a driver-focused cockpit with a lower seating position, and aerodynamic improvements inspired by racing to improve performance and handling.
The Toyota GR Yaris serves as the rally-born halo model of the sub-compact B-segment lineup, sitting well above the standard Yaris commuter hatchback as a low-volume, high-performance special. Within Toyota’s dedicated GAZOO Racing performance brand, it acts as the lightweight, all-wheel-drive powerhouse positioned alongside the entry-level rear-wheel-drive GR86 coupe and the larger C-segment GR Corolla hot hatch. Unlike the cosmetic "GR Sport" trim packages found on everyday Toyota models, the GR Yaris is a pure-bred sports car built with a bespoke 3-door chassis and advanced motorsport technology designed directly for World Rally Championship homologation. Toyota is a Japanese manufacturer that's recognised internationally for its reliable models, and the GR Yaris was engineered through extensive testing, benefiting from Toyota's strong reputation for building dependable cars.

The Toyota GR Yaris is a uniquely specialised, rally-bred machine, but several cars offer a similar high-performance experience.

For pure driving engagement, larger front-wheel-drive hot hatches like the sharp Honda Civic Type R and the playful Hyundai i30 N deliver immense track-ready thrills.
