The Toyota Hatchback GR Yaris is a product of the XP210 series, the segment cars are mostly known as Hot Hatch. The Toyota GR Yaris Hatchback is developed by Toyota in a partnership with Gazoo Racing to compete in World Rally Championships.

In the initial days of GR Yaris production, Toyota has decided to bring up it as a 5-door hatchback, because it will be more economical and the popularity was also enough in this segment.

On the other hand, the Gazoo Racing team wants a 4×4 three-door car with a wider rear track and double-wishbone suspension to handle significant torque from the motor. So this is how the Toyota GR Yaris Hatchback was born and later participated in multiple rally championships and won many titles.

Toyota GR Yaris Overview

Sporty stance and aggressive front facia that the GR Yaris Hatchback ergonomics are. The aggressive front of the Yaris Car has a sporty bumper with a lot of black detailing in the center and on the sides of both fog lamps. The headlights setup is more looks connected to the small line that originated from the Toyota Logo (at the center). The headlights are completely LED one has white illumination on the road.

As it’s a three-door sports car, so the sides have large 18 inches of matte black finished alloy wheels with 225.40/R18 section tyre size. The rearview mirrors and roof are also finished in black colour to give a dual-tone to the Yaris GR Yaris Hatchback.

Interior and Features

The GR Yaris interior is not a premium but a practical one. Every keys and nob are in the driver’s reach and the seat is height adjustable too (But manually). We can’t expect much from Toyota in the interior department, as they only offer the needed ones.

So the Yaris has all the essential specs, a touchscreen infotainment system, automatic climate control, steering mounted controls, push-button start, cruise control, racing steering wheel, soft-touch leather on the upper dashboard, Digital Multi-Functional Display, Android Auto, Apple Carplay, and Navigation features in the instrument console. and so on.

The front seats have enough comfort with great holding, adequate under-thigh support, headroom, and side bolstering but the rear lacks the headroom and space too (if sat 3 people). The rear seats are compact and can only accommodate two normal size people. Here in this department, the competition (Honda Civic Type R) is on the upper hand.

Verdict

The Toyota GR Yaris Price in India has a peppy performance-centric engine with both manual and CVT transmission options. The power figures are great at 257 bhp and the top speed is 230 km/h (Really amazing). Whereas, the 0-100 km/h from a standstill can be done in just 5.5 seconds, faster than many other cars.

The styling is aggressive and has LED head and tail lights, also there are so many blacked-out elements, and that gives it a sports car stance. The interior part is quite practical though but the rear has serious space issues. It won’t able to fit an average height people, because of the headroom issue.

But overall it’s a great tiny hot hatch that offers power yet practicality. If the India launch could happen it would be a surprise for car lovers. Because Toyota cars just love modifications, you can seriously make a Toyota GR Yaris Modified version into a maniac avatar. The expected Toyota GR Yaris Price in India is Rs 10.50-15.50 lakh, Ex-showroom.
