- This is the NEW Toyota GR Yaris review. Designed as a homologation special road rally car, the new GR Yaris is no normal hot hatch. Using knowledge and technology from WRC to deliver a true sports car feeling every day. Developed with the experts at Toyota Gazoo Racing World Rally Team, GR Yaris incorporates advanced technology including GR-FOUR, Toyota's first sports AWD system in 20 years, and an awesome 1.6-litre, 3 Cylinder Turbo engine developing 257bhp and 266lb ft torque - this lightweight special is a proper road rocket!

The world needs more cars like these.
Maybe next decade will be better for true car lowers. Yaris GR is good start.
I hope Toyota does a proper Corolla GR in a similar fashion
I agree, we only live once... Thus auto manufactures should build rides like this so that we can "live" for once!!
Couldn't agree more, the only hot hatchbacks that come close cost more than 50k.
Finally something affordable and serious fun
Agree but the price in Belgium 35000 € + 5000 € eco malus aie aie aie grettings from Belgium 👍😎
Nobody asks Toyota to make something like this. But when they did it, everyone wants it
yeah we all brainwashed by VAG concern .... and now the shaking by toyota, i love it
Who needs a Supra when you can have this, for less with more fun
@@Benepene This reminds me of the fun the escort cosworth was way back when.
At 68 years old i just love my gr yaris don't miss my WRX any more cheers from Sydney
This car looks even better when it's dirty.
Next thumbnail should be the car 5ft in the air somewhere in Wales.
We need a Chris Harris dives on this....
It would look even better shredding a muddy gravel road, shooting dirt 6 feet in the air... wow
Imagine like fully moding it a company making a bodkit for it
As it should given its rallying roots 🔥
Never would have believed that words "I'll rather have that Yaris over Supra" would come out of my mouth, but here we are. I love this thing.
All day long!!
Over the new mk5, yes I would love this yaris
This is the best car of 2020. Hell I'd argue that this is straight up the best part of 2020.
Yuh, I'm with you there.
I AGREE
This and the MC20 are the most significant cars of 2020.
😊👍🚘
This Yaris is more Toyota than the new Supra.
I'll take that Yaris over the Supra, its crazy its ..... 2020 😄🚘
Pinch that from somewhere else mate?
I ordered a black one and it's supposed to come around december 8th :D
Congratulations - you sir are in for a treat!
Are you selling the BMW or keeping it?
@@harrylloyd6955 I'm keeping it :)
Sweet! Mine is about a month behind!
Nice one, I shall buy a Yaris in 3 years time + shall stick to getting an m140 for now :)
This is the kind of car I can respect. Also makes me wish Ford had the balls to make a proper AWD Fiesta RS.
YES! And a AWD Swift RS too.
And a AWD VW Polo R
@@mariusmunteanu1481 my opinion is as owning a polo gti 2019 is that its really not far off from the golf gtis and even Rs bit of tuning and its more or less side by side, so making a R i think it would leave the gti and R for dust therefore nobody will buy them.
@@freesyria7863 the new golf gti is much slower than this GR. Check out Sutcliffe's video with a type R, GR, fiesta ST and the golf. From the look, sound, handling and track time, you'll have the feeling it is the most dissapointing car from the 4. Yeah, some could argue that the gti is more a day-to-day comfy and spacious drive but, you know what, I'd spend 10-12K on a skoda superb for real comfier, spacious, day-to-day driving and got one of these for a mid-week night short run and that (very)early sunday mountain/hill drive.
I’m not the biggest Toyota fan, but this thing is insanely impressive. The balls to make this. Abarth!...... you have been put on notice!
The abarth is half the price of the gr yaris though
@@Intredo half as good too (also pretty dated now)
@@Intredo An Abarth 595 Comp in Australia is around $35-42k and the GRY introductory pricing was $40k with full RRP being $50k. As a long time Abarth admirer, I couldn't justify spending the same for something less and not Japanese!
Abarth doesn’t even come with cruise control or any power.... this decimates it
Get a twingo RS, shit you its the most fun car ive ever owned. It revs to almost 7000rpm and goes 200-220km/h
Let’s hope my local dealer likes the idea of a 48 hour test drive.
*48 year
And test it on different road surfaces 😂
Dream on
@@bogfinken fun sponge
@@justina9914 48 years is just the break-in period for Toyotas
To all Canadians watching this video.
I sent an e-mail to Toyota Canada asking if the GR is coming. Answer is: no plan for the GR for the moment...BUT...they could change their mind if there's a clear interest from Canadians.
Go ahead, my minions. You know what to do. Toyota Canada has an e-mail, a Twitter account, etc.
Same with US... God, I want it so badly
@@evanisashark1596 It's the affordable AWD hatchback pocket rocket we miss in North America. We don't even have a hatchback WRX anymore...and the Golf R is on its way out.
I understand SUV's popularity. But man oh man, are they boring to drive when you don't need them...
It should be imported. And Yaris GRMN of a hard-core model should also be imported more.
That's more than 300 horsepower. Toyota Yaris GRMN. It'll be expected to be sold 1 year later.
But it should become more expensive.
This needs to come to Canada!
I’m not Canadian,but I’ll send one anyway
30k is alright for this thing. A Golf GTi costs more, got less power and there’s no 4wd and no trick chassis stuff going on.
and the resale and reliability of Toyota as a big draw card.
I thought it was more like 35k?
it will cost €60k in Holland so 30k is ALRIGHT
@@M4rkmcc21 probably, with the fancy diffs.
@Casper Gomez I don’t see that as being a big plus tbh, hardly a Ferrari badge is it ;-)
Would really like to see a return of the homologation specials (Fiesta RS please!), those rules produced some great cars. Im with you though mate, I never thought the day would come where Id be lusting after a Toyota Yaris 😂
Didn't factory Ford left WRC and making M-Sport in a bit of a pickle?
Very engaging content, explaining what this hot hatch actually represents, rather than some kind of Yaris. Thank you, James.
Congrats for this review dude! You are the first that touched upon proper driving (using left foot braking), car dynamics (comparison with sportcars in such autumn road conditions)...
Intriguing how these big Japanese brands seem to have only two settings: utterly brilliant and uncompromised (Yaris GR, Type R, Supra, S2000) or anonymous appliance (all the rest)... We need to encourage brilliance, and where I live, the GR is already sold out 👍🏻
Now that's one of your best reviews this year, thanks for the detailed and honest review. One of the things I enjoyed was the different content from the others influencers, and we really needed this one. Spot on👌
Thanks - glad you enjoyed
Brilliant review - the best so far. I can't wait to get my car now..
VW will rue the day they didn't pursue the Polo R.
I have to agree.
The S1?
dont know about - Golf R sales could have been gouged. Besides the chances of VAG building a bespoke tracing platform, compared to bastardizing an existing hatchback platform, to build Rs, are very very slender. Toyota had balls to do this and, even if they lose money on every unit, the brand marketing halo value will be far bigger. The plethora of positive and gushing reviews here is testament to that.
市販車をチューニングしたポロRと、最初からWRCの為に開発されたGRヤリスと比べる事など無意味。
This would be more like the LUPO GTI not a polo🙃
Everybody in the GR Yaris Videos here on YT have a big Laugh in his Face while pushing the Gas Pedal.... 😁👍
Fantastic piece of kit, I’ve also ordered one should be with me in March 21 can’t wait 👍
Drove this car today, absoloutely fun to drive, amazing brakes and the turbo sounds are just eargasm
This guy just talked me into a Toyota Yaris, wtf. Maybe Toyota is on to somthing...
Maybe hahaha. I was sceptical because of that 3 cylinder but it doesn't seem to be a problem. I feel like this will be a huge competior to the cooper JCW and the abarth 500 😁
@Mo Ali Yea you are right actually
Such a pleasure seeing you flex your car review muscles 💪✌ always love your personal views!! Nobody tells us about the things you tell us about 😅 love learning the fact this car was made to left foot break ✌
Agreed. New subscriber here 👍
@@seanocallaghan7844 I've been here since the beginning... dive into his RUclips channel and enjoy
Great review.
Never thought that I would be on the fence for a Yaris!
Video quality 👌👍 such a good looking little hot hatch, never thought I would genuinely like the way a Yaris looks😂
Absolutely brilliant review, thank you. I have a Pearl White Circuit pack on order, should be Feb-March, can't wait now! That black does look great though.
I’m in love with this car. I just hope they have some left when I go to buy one
It's like a modern day Nissan Sunny GTI-R
With more power and more refined,let’s hope the gearbox holds up unlike the ir
Well done. Spot on.
@@mpsftmfw given other toyota manual transmissions tend to be robust to say the least, I have hopes that this will also be reliable
I would say Evo has reborn
But so much better
Amazing vide mate, makes me want to strive for a GR Yaris even more than I could ever imagine now
This is why I love your reviews mate first person to mention just how bespoke the car is and its a Race Car first road car 2nd
Great video think this would be a great addition to the garage
Gotta find a way to get one of these in a gravel road James. Awesome vídeo as always, greetings from Brazil ✌🏻
Another wonderful review James. I see your numbers climbing, but it still baffles me that you don’t have a million plus subscribers. Be patient and keep up the great work!
10:13 You can see James try to paddle shift and then realise He's in a manual XD. Love the work as always JWW. Seems as though Toyota has made a phenomenal small platform.
Literally looks like he is driving through the map of Forza Horizon 4.
Lol yeah
As a Brit, I can confirm it’s just as good in real life too. It’s one of the best things about living here in the UK; except for if any wildlife run out on you 😬
@@Omen0004 forza horizon 4 spring + classic fm = Nice
@@Omen0004 You forgot the potholes buddy!
@@mawaboutcars671 that’s so true 😂 literally my sisters car the other day got an instant burst tyre because of one in the countryside!
What a great little car and amazing how much power they have got out of a 3 cylinder, thank god for the WRC team 👍👍
The perfect base for a track weapon. This Friday we had one of the first cars in Germany in our workshop and fitted our 9.5x18 wheels with 255/35-18 semi slicks. What can I say...fits plug and play and lift the car on another level. The first laps on Northloop are already done. 👍
I want that! Never thought I'd say that about a Yaris. I really hope they bring it to Canada. Great vid MrJWW!
Great review, seems an absolute hoot to drive. I always loved the Celica GT4 and Corolla WRC back in the 90s. I hope Toyota continue to develop similar cars.
This is a super review. Great job, James.
November, no Sun, rainy cloudy day and SUNDGLASSES !!! Back to car cant wait to see Yaris GRMN next year
Best review by far. Thank you
Ive been here since the beginning! I won Some ADA before! Love the show so much
You know that is a really good car when it gets featured in the stylish Mr JWW channel
Added this to my dream car list hehe!
I have been waiting sometime for a special rally bred model to come along
and this appeared on my feed. Did I honestly think it would be a Yaris ? No.
I watched a number of videos then test drove one last weekend which the Toyota dealer
only received on Thursday. It was MEGA 👏👏👏
and put a deposit down with delivery in 2021👍🇦🇺
Finally great review🍾
Great little car and fantastic video James 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This car really reminds of me the old Renault 5 GT or Metro 6R4. Such an epic looking car and so glad its been made!
Enjoyable review James & what a mega car, nice replacement for the S1 surely!?
Cheers,
Chris
Excellent vid just feel like ordering one.
Watching this makes me want to move to Europe just to have all the cool cars you guys have
Great review James, especially your point about how this car should be viewed as opposed to it being a Yaris or "hot hatch"!
It was about time that we get a GT-FOUR successor!!! Pretty sad that we won't get them in Canada, I loved my old Celica! The node to the GT-FOUR with the GR-FOUR badge is cool too! Fun little ride, we need more of them!
You could maybe try to find a fine example of a GT-FOUR WRC for a modern classic video !!!
Funny enuff same thing came to my mind the legendary gt4 👍🏻
Love it. Fabulous review.
Bizarre that there is no rear window wiper, on a car build for slippy, wet backroads.
Trying my hardest to get my hands on one of these, think it would be an awesome daily, especially with the tunes and everything people will make
Bateman back with another great video!
Best review yet of this car
Mate has just ordered this exact car, black +track pack, lucky boy
The evil genius laugh before So Hello🤣🤣🤣🤣🙏🏾
Brilliant review
Great review. What a car!
Awesome content!
Fantastic review. I think you may have twisted my arm! I owned the R26.R a couple of years ago and the GR sounds similar: pretty sure it could have kept up with my gt4 on wintery country roads!!
Mr JWW thank you for such wonderful content once again. May I please ask how this Yaris GR compares to your S1 in terms of outright speed and dynamics?
In addition terms of feel, which one feels quicker 0-60 and top end too and also which one handles better on B roads?
Thank you very much
Joel
GR more engaging drivers car and covers ground better.
Love this thing. Im going to my local Toyota dealer tomorrow 🤪
James comparisons to your old yellow Audi S1 AWD Hot Hatch?
This is a like before I even watch. What a car!
Homologation special cars are always a treat. Hopefully the Le Mans hypercar class can push more manufacturers to make future classics
great video!
Such a cracking little car, I thought they were starting at 23k? I have seen other videos and looks even better in white IMO!
Nice review. I think that my son is planning to buy one so I was digging for opinions about it.
I never thought I’ll see you driving a Toyota. But the again I see you don’t discriminate
I for one really appreciate a throttle blip option in manual cars. My foot is a veritable flipper, and heel-and-toeing is just not possible in most cars or safe to undertake. I applaud Toyota and other manufacturers for implementing these driving aids for those of us who are not so vertically challenged.
James have you seen the brilliant exhuast system for the Aston Martin DBS/Rapide , makes it sound like an old F1 car . You need it ! Great review as always 👍
No but that sounds fun!
Hands down one of the best reviews on this car. The car is simply AMAZING! After years and years, of waiting we finally get a Honda Civic Type R in the US but then Toyota released this little beast of a hot hatch that sadly will not be coming to the US. I just hope Toyota is able to sprinkle some of that GR Yaris magic on a GR Corolla and bring that over here. Thanks for the review and your excitement in driving this car says it all. Well done Toyota!
Agreed, we will never get this in the US
At the end of the day, it would be just a jumped up Corolla. This is a damn homologation special, with all the engineering and thinking put into it(even though it will never race this year); you can't compare them.
Your wish came true! And having driven one……hard. They are amazing.
I’m from the future, and I wanted to let you know…….not only can you compare them, it’s actually a better overall street car. You don’t think aikido Toyota put as much thought/development into the car bearing his name? Obviously, Yaris having the homologation cred…..makes it awesome, but it really doesn’t have anything on the Corolla.
@@KN-jw7ts Agreed!
Loving the amazing Staffordshire country roads.
And the car looks awesome too.
Better in white though.
Nice drive through Keele and betley, my manor
Love it! Makes me wonder about the Corolla hot hatch for the US! Is there a GRMN version planned for both?!
Someone has run the yaris on a dyno and got over 275bhp to the wheels, Toyota are being modest with there power figures..
Tempted to sell my old s14 and MR2 and get one of these, seriously cool
I'm selling my Levin GT Apex for one as it's time to move into something modern and 'safe'... lol
go for it !
Red, white or black? I'm leaning towards black for the Darth V contrast with the black trim and because it shows off the hips.
The need for this car is so big right now... Can't wait to test it😬😬😬 (and straight after buy it)
Which I literally just did...😅
Mr JWW, thanks for the brilliant review. I could feel the genuine enthusiasm about the car coming through rather than just the tech specs. Makes me want one :) unfortunately too old for a "hot hatch" :)
Why are you too old?
One might be too encumbered with kids, too poor to afford one etc but what about age makes this a no if you want it and can afford it?
@@RRSmurf I'm nearly 47! I'm a company director and so can't turn up to office in one of those, staff would think I'm having mid life crisis :)
@@hingwong1187 you can keep going to the office in your A8 or A6(or the bmw equivalent) and keep this for those sunday (very early)mornings when you don't want to open up your laptop and read sheets with reports from every department.
This car is so good it makes me want to properly learn how to drive a manual.
Can you do a review on the 2013+ Toyota GT86, I know it's an older car but I want to know your point of view. Thank you!
Isn't the purpose of the IMT just for everyday driving? Rev matching which help the life of the transmission even on the daily commute
I rev match (with plenty of heel-toe) daily without even thinking about it. What's the point of an enjoyable car with an enjoyable manual transmission if you let it do it for you?
@@axledog7297 but you can also see the IMT as something that can teach you heel and toe. Someone new to the car can get the feel of it and understand it and then try and copy it to their own driving. Or if you take it to the track and just want to focus on driving lines and breaking points its there to help you. I dont see the bad point about it since you can turn it off.
I'm in love with this car.
IT DOES NOT HAVE A REAR WIPER.....I even love it more now!!!
I never understood rear wipers
@@mitchellsteindler useless AF
I use my rear wiper on my Impreza. When you actually drive the car off road or in the rain, dust and water sling up onto the window and it is nice to be able to remove it.
On the other hand, if I had something like a gt2 rs that never gets driven in the rain, I would love to remove the front wipers and revert the wiper fluid res to an intercooler/ sprayer.
@@TheG60528XiJinPing off road maybe...to remove mud...but rain...no...I drive my m140 daily..I have driven my 6nPolo GTI daily and others.....I have NEVER used the rear wiper ever...but people are different...
@@TheG60528XiJinPing I should have waited longer before connecting! I didn't know that happened
I always thought that 3 mile lane from whitmore to keele (7:45 into video) would make a great rally stage lol. Great to see it on a video
Is that piped-in engine sound? (if not, it sounds pretty damn good)
Hi James, is the Yaris GR any quicker or more engaging than your yellow Audi S1 before and subsequently after the re-map?
It feels it yes - carries the momentum better certainly
Somehow methinks Toyota won’t have any trouble selling all of these cars! 👍
They have already outsold their target
@@ReubenHorner i hope they keep making them until they can't do it anymore. I want one at some point... Can't afford one now :(
@@luislopes2240 its been a huge success for them, I dont see why they'd stop
Great review. If I had 30k to spare I'd be ordering one I think from what I've seen thus far!
The black color hides the wide arches, maybe better in white
or silver
Sounds brilliant!
i love this WRC reject project! haha
I really would like to buy this and enjoy the drives :3
and its just gotta be good because Tommie is involved through Gazoo Racing right! :D
I have a m140, bm3, shall I swap it for the GR? Can the GR be tuned - remapped? I am confused, I love m140, need a supra, want a GR Yaris
In love with this car. Question is, do I swap my Evo 8 for one?
Talking about Evo’s, I would love to see you review one! I feel like they are very similar cars just from different era’s.
Love the video tho, top stuff👍
Love the slow mo through the puddle
