There will be a standard GRMN and an optional Circuit Pack model as before, with another Rally Pack option that’ll be available as a dealer fitted option.
The engine is the same G16E-GTS turbocharged 1.6-litre three-cylinder as the base GR Yaris, and while it shares an identical 262bhp power figure, torque is up 22lb ft to 287lb ft at just over 3000rpm. A six-speed manual transmission is still the sole transmission option, but Gazoo Racing has shortened the ratios even further and given it a shorter final drive ratio.
Three of the GR Yaris’s base colours are still available, sans the non-metallic white, with a new Matte Steel finish that’ll be limited to just 50 units. Prices for the GRMN Yaris in the local market start at today’s exchange rates at £46,784 for the base car, rising to £53,573 for the Rally Package and £54,138 for the Circuit Package.
