- The Toyota Yaris has had a facelift and I got to drive the GR Sport HEV. The Yaris GR Sport has the sporty styling queues of the GR Yaris but has a hybrid drivetrain. What is new and how does it drive ?

we bought this a few months ago pre facelift great car and pretty nippy too ,not expensive on insurance either,wife went through breast cancer last year and decided she deserved a new car ,cant fault it ,great looking car ,seats very comfortable city pack is worth having , great review again
Hope all is well with your wife Ian
How is the mpg on the motorway, we hear alot about city but very little info on motorway journey
I have seen so many people review this car and moan its not fast enough or does not handle like a hot hatch and this is the first one I have seen that is actually reviewing the car for what its aimed at. You seem to have realised that its not a sports car but a nippy car for round town that is fun to drive when on the open road. Nice review and nice to see you seem to have grasped the market it is aimed at.
Thanks 🙏🏻
II think you are pretty much spot on with your report. I have one and would agree with what you have said, although it can be a little too stiff and “crashy” at times for our roads in this country. Having previously owned a GR Yaris, it could easily be considered as a warm version of the GR Yaris and for a lot of people, a more sensible choice. The mpg of the car is quite exceptional, usually 60mpg plus most of the time, even with some brisk driving! It is equally at home on the motorway or city driving. It certainly surprised me.
This GR Sport Yaris reminds me a little of the Yaris T Sport (1.5 vvti) that was on sale during the early and mid 2000’s. It looks a great little car - all the looks, good performance and lots of rely.
Brilliant review, and as always your editing and presentation is just next level. A joy to watch.
Much appreciated!
I’m liking it mate, as a GRY owner I like the styling and GR touches.
Wow 29k looks okay bit cheap on the inside, it wasn't that long ago that was golf gti focus st i30n money. Crazy how much cars cost nowadays can't imagine them selling a lot at that price
Thanks for sharing.
The screens in Toyota cars are pointing the other way to prevent glare in sunny days
In the world where people drive on the other side the screens points opposite direction. Designed with mind
Lovely scenery too as weather Pete 🎉
Many thanks
Great review👍
Good evening petrol pad how are you? Been looking forward to this video keep up the great work thank you very much. Have a great week all absolutely love the wheel design and I think it looks fantastic looking small car well done Toyota and it will last centuries
Petrol pad? lol is that a kind of sanitary towel?
Thanks 👍
Great presentation. Just subscribed.
Welcome aboard and thanks for the Sub 🙏🏻👍
Like it ped another great review 👍👏👏👏
Was waiting for this one, Pete! 😊👍🏻 It is a sensible car, that will do a great job of getting you around economically for years and years without the slightest problem. No, they don’t come cheap, but like most other small cars its size. Thank you 🙏
Cheers, Tom
Very true!
Really good review , nice car . I pick up a Yaris Hybrid on Monday , it’s the Design spec . I am looking forward to it
Good choice!
Hi Ped
Found this to be informative & interesting. Mrs P has a Fiat 500C which she loves, and meets the brief for a city runabout and shorter/medium mileage runs. However looking ahead I think this would be a serious contender. You have fulfilled your brief in keeping us up to date with the changing market place.🤗
Always great to see your videos. I think I would of liked to see what the fuel consumption was, you should have had it for longer. Thank you your views are always honest......keep it up
Nice. My wife would absolutely love this car. We have to have an estate car because of dogs. But she would love a small sporty looking car. But not one that’s ballistic fast. As long as it looks sporty and attractive. This looks almost perfect.
Looking forward to your 2024 Prius review 😊
Interesting vid thanks for sharing. The Yaris Cross GR Sport feels more roomy if that’s an issue. Such a great car, well built and specified, probably why the Yaris has sold 10M since 1999.
thank you for the video
You're welcome
Very Helpful. Picking my red one up tomorrow.
Enjoy it 👍
Great video interested vehicle from Toyota 👍👍👍
Another enjoyable video. We had old Yaris from 2003 where legroom was poor and I’m 6’3”. Think I might fit in that one better. 🙂👍
Good choice!
My wife has one, fantastic and it won't go wrong.
The wife or the car??
Evening all! Hope everyone is doing well and have a great week.
You too!
The screen thing is a bit weird given Japan drives on the left too.
Car prices are still over the top compared too the hourly rate of pay of most normal people. I'm lucky I can spend more on my cars .but the lower payed people struggle with a car today
Used cars are affordable. The real headache is insurance costs. Here in the US, they've increased so much it's ridiculous. Kids will be off to college in 2 years, and I can't wait to clear out my garage and downsize to the cheapest used electric mini I can find.
I owned a Dynamic version of the pre face-lift version, that was a nice little driver and looked the part. Only had 115bhp but was nippy and very economical. I'd like to see a 3 door version of this, but say having a 150 - 170 bhp none turbo version of the 1600, 3 cylinder. For some the GR Yaris is a little wild so maybe a detuned version would sell very well 🤔
Nice car Ped, I had a C-HR hire car when my F40 135i was stollen and could not get on with the CVT transmission, thought the clutch was slipping, not for me 😀
You get used to it after a few drives. Works really well unless you ask for a lot of power. It gives it but with noise. Gradual acceleration it's smooth and quiet
Can’t beat James May taking the original out the card board box on you tube! lol
Pretty little car!
We bought one, because of the London Mayor's robbing ulez. Get 60mpg great little car, got decent saving on the book price
Wish UK roads had these on them and not massive ego driven suvs blocking B roads. Great review of a realistic and good car, thanks.
Nice car. Will you be bringing Petrol ped. merchandise on Saturday to buy
Sadly not as it’s only made to order to avoid paying for and holding stock but look forward to seeing you there 👍
At LAST a review of a NORMAL car 🎉xxxx
😜😂
I like it.
It's a very nice car, I've recently looked at a Suzuki Swift Sport, and for the price I feel it is a better option, after all they're basically a shopping or short commuting car. 👍
You can get a buggy (with the wheels detached) in the boot of the Yaris for those who want to know that 😂
The problem arises when you’re trying to then get the kids into their seats in the back because the rear doors don’t open wide enough 🤣
Good review as always.How is the ectv when you want to overtake?
There is no problem with the acceleration in Fourth or fifth gear trouble-free toyota 1.5 vvti works perfectly if you want a comfortable city
Ride Or if you want to have fun on B roads its a great entry for a spotry fast "rally" driveable car but this is lets say city car... I have plenty of fun driving it on curvy roads testing its possibilities and im still not sure where is the limit because it wont let grip go 😂 in this gr sport version You get a tougher suspension and a little Harder bodywork ... Basically not to write essays now feel free to ask what you want to know because I already drive the same car a year and I've traveled 10,000 kilometers
I enjoyed watching the Video Review. My favourite Yaris Trim 😊
Mine too!
The light yes well , my dad has a Yaris one offside led driving light failed the other day, that’s ok you would think just change led part of it oh but no can’t do that, had to have a hole new headlight not covered by warranty? And had to pay £500 for said headlight just for an led driving light, him not happy. Anyway back to a great looking car and video
Great review!!!!
I had the new GR Corolla as a courtesy car a few months ago for about a 3 weeks and I found the CVT gearbox to be horrific............it has put me off Toyota and probably Lexus
Nice little car 🚙 is coming to Australia 🇦🇺?
Hello Pete. Can you compare it with a Suzuki Swift Sport or didn't you drive a Swift Sport yet?
Last weekend i did a short drive in a Swift Sport, a version with 140HP, no Hybrid. The road holding was fantastic, even much better than my Mini F56 JCW Y2015 with DDC suspension from Mini.
But the Swift i drove has KW V3 suspension and Michelin Cup2 tyres .
Maybe not honest to compare....
On a B road the Swift that i drove was a lot of fun, i think you don't need more.
Mini call their cars a go-kart, my R53 GP that i had was but the F56 is much less go-kart as the R53 or a Swift Sport.
Greetings from the Netherlands. 😊
Ah... That CVT moaning sound. Reminds me of my 2001 Prius. I liked that car, and I suspect I'd like this one even more. The EV range is literally leagues better in this; my car literally couldn't travel ONE league before the ICE had to start up. Here on O'ahu, it would be possible to get all one's daily commuting chores done without needing to awaken the ICE. Nice!
Why do I suspect you have a heavy foot? As the saying goes.
@@riccccccardo I can say I do have heavy feet on my pedal bike...having broken a pedal AND a crank in my time. Been car-free over a decade now. Driving on this island is pretty pointless...
That price is nuts. Try the Renault Clio hybrid. Cheaper, more power and much nicer inside and out.
But not as reliable……….
@@PhilbyFavourites I’ll soon find out, we collect one this month.
Good evening. That is an interesting car, not for me but if I had still been working and commuting and parking in city streets or multi storey car parks it would probably fit the bill being small, nimble and have the sporty looks. I would probably regret buying it if I ever did and not buying the full fat GR Yaris which certainly seems like the full package.
I have this one but without hybrid....Pretty fast on B roads... The suspension is even a little too hard if you think this is just driving around town on pothole roads.. But roadholding, among accelerations, and manual transmission make this car really fun to drive.. Sometimes I think that a real GR has to be good and brutal if this one Pretty fast on B roads... The suspension is even a little too hard if you think this is just driving around town on pothole roads.. But roadholding, among accelerations, and manual transmission make this car really fun to drive.. Sometimes I think that a real GR must be good and brutal if this one from 130 He's this sick... And as for the open expressway... The car is comfortable, fast fuel-efficient... Travel He's this sick... And as for the open expressway... The car is comfortable, fast fuel-efficient... Travel from 500 km All day without feeling... Basically if you are constantly in the car and use it as a daily car and you do not want it to consume a lot of fuel but you love "rally" driving I definitely recommend Gr sport... To enter a higher sports car league and get used to a slightly more dynamic 130 hp driving and more than enough
60-80 mph is easily achievable with these. I think the design spec is the sweet spot. Looks good, ride is softer and quite a bit cheaper to buy. You get adaptive cruise, climate control and all the gadgets too
Totally agree
I have the original version of this car. The suspension is stiffer than standard (as GR biased), so the ride is firm, but you gain better handling.
Wonderful car ....
Yes indeed!
Try the GRMN Yaris, that’s so much fun.
Good thing is, you don't have to worry about unexpected repairs for another 10 years, if you don't crash it that is
Looks good,...missed a trick not hiding the rear door handles in the pillar to give it an even closer GR 3 door feel. CVT gearboxes are just horrible...if they ditch that they will sell more.
I really find these prices car companies are asking are shocking I see many people talk about £25000 for a car I know many people could never afford with the cost of living .I'm lucky for the cars I have but I feel sorry for the average working person too have a home car and a life at the prices car company's want
Is there less interior space compared to the older versions? The car has grown, I would expect the interior space to have done too. I can easily fit 4 people in my '09 Yaris, and folding the seats down I can just fit a bike.
7:47 The mainland Europe version (left hand drive) has the same problem (just brought it home from an official dealership in Hungary). Screen looks like it was designed to fit right hand drive.
Looks a great car and it's a Toyota so reliability should be good. Styling looks good
ive read the manual transmission has a problem on the second gear on some cars.
ridiculous price for a small city car ?
It is quite big. That's what my ex said. But that was when I drove a Mk1 Ford Escort.
Is there JBL audio in that version?
The price is £30010 for the two tone and the safety pack which isn't standard ,
What would be a real in between GR Yaris and the Sport would be to incorporate the plug in with perhaps AWD if you don’t like wheel spin
Good all-rounder, but that version seems a bit pricey and would be interesting to compare it with the Renault Clio E-tech which is of similar size and performance but a lot cheaper.
Enjoy this kind of bread and butter road test, regardless of the means of propulsion!
Whilst Yaris spec names are different the top spec ZR hybrid sells for equiv. Of £19k drive away in Australia. Please ask your friends at Toyota why it sells for 50% more in the UK. Aussie new car taxes are hardly what you'd call low.
It does seem an excessive price for the U.K. I wonder why??
May 22 my Black GR cost 35,500 it's well worth the 6k more and the display faces nobody either way and can do 40mpg if you want it to.
That screen looks naff and is different to the GR yaris which is also Naff
Lovely looking car but that’s far to much money, top of the range Clio hybrid similar power if not a bit more is a lot cheaper, having said that mother has a pre facelift Yaris and it seems to be more economical on mileage
. Great review as always
No comments about the 12v battery! Has it been upgraded to a 44AH version? It’s just there are always adverse comments about it.
Looks like a cracking little City run around. Toyota's and cracking cars, just not massively exciting unless you go for the sports models.
They could have put a small spacer in for the screen to angle it correctly for the UK market. It would have cost pennies.
I'm sure some enterprising person could 3d print them and sell them.
I've toyed with the idea of getting one of these for a year or 2 now, but ceased looking when Toyota removed the hire purchase option as I like to own my vehicles outright
Speak with a dealer. PCP and HP are standard finance options. Also, with PCP the end payment (GFV/ballon payment) can be re-financed
The back would have more legroom if you adjusted the seat angle. You are wasting half the seat! 😂
Nice as a city car, grocery getter. Perhaps. To bad we in North America probably never get it.
People get upset with gasoline at $4.50 a gallon for Shell premium.
They should have made it -150bhp+ - 130hp isn’t enough. It looks pretty smart though. It’s a bit like VW and their ‘R-Line’ range - it’s a bit daft really given the Passat R-Line for instance mostly only came with the same awful hairdryer 1.5 tsi engine (150bhp) used in basically every bloody VW from the Golf upwards. All show, no go. I drove one and given the weight of the car it was painful. This little Yaris may be lighter but still, a little more oomph would at least make it a bit more fun surely - excellent review though thank you
Hi Peds
Hi 👋
I like the exterior styling of these but If that screen is pointing the wrong way that would be a deal breaker for me. How annoying.
Hello Pete,
Nice vid about this car.
I'm thinking to buy this one.
Just a question about the fuel consumption.
When I drive from Amsterdam to Paris, (555 km) my son lives and work there, I will drive 100km./hour. (65mph) constant speed, what wille be the fuel consumption?
Do you know the size of the fuel tank in liters / gallons? I've red consumption about 4,6 liter for 100 km.
Is it possible to drive this car on the highway at that speed of 65 mph so th e consumption 100 km. is low?
Well I hope someone can give me an answer.
Greetings from The Netherlands
Not France, but Nottingham and my Yaris does around 60mpg (not the most sensible driver). The fuel tank is around 36 litres
ok thank you for your info . Are you dancing in the number black Bacardi?
greetings from The Netherlands@@erikatodorova5068
I don't think it's a good looking car but how you say it's reasonable value at nearly £30000 for a small city car is beyond me. I think you need a reality check though I appreciate that this is your livelyhood and you need the support of the manufacturers. Haveing driven e- CVT cars I can say it would drive me insane listening to the crazy revving each time you put your foot down.
Typical for a successful RUclipsr🤔
I don’t dictate the market. It am comparing with other cars out there. It is a crazy world we live in but £22-29k is about the range for this type and quality of car. I don’t ’support the manufacturers’ I say it as I see it. Look back at my videos on eCVT and you will see I’m not a huge fan of the noise but appreciate the good job it does.
What is that supposed to mean 🤷♂️
One word INFLATION.your money as been devalued substantially over the last few years.Toyota offer better value than most manufacturers given their warranty.
Looks pretty good for what it is, however what was that annoying bleep and can it be turned off? It would drive me mad
Speed limit warning…VERY annoying 😂
Do you know if it can be disengaged?
I had one for a week. Very good on fuel. And enough room for 6ft plus.
Yep 👍
How tall are you ? To find out if this car is only for people of short stature...
I quite like the look of the current Yaris, but I've never understood why Toyota don't offer it with the option of a manual gearbox in the UK. You can get one in a lot of places in mainland europe, so it can't be an emissions thing, and you can get them in Japan too so it can't be a RHD thing either. Bizarre.
What! You can jump into a year old 3 Series for that. We need more RUclipsrs to call out manufacturers in their reviews of these cars as too expensive. £29k for a sporty Yaris is definitely not ok.
It is the market we live in. Love it or hate it 🤷♂️
If the GR Yaris is a homologation special, where are the homologation specials of the other cars competing in WRC? 🤔
Another amazingly reliable car from Toyota..
how you figure that? did you drive one? you check if it's reliable in 3-4 years not when is new or with 1000 miles........
Nice looking car but whats that annoying bonging noise?
Is this faster on B-road than mk1 GR Yaris?
Definitely not 😂
City or town run about. 🙂
Outside design is up there but the dash is outdated in my opinion.
Good to see bread and butter cars revived. Do you know what engine and how many cylinders.
Good review Peter!
I really don`t get why manufacturers of smaller cars have almost all gone to 5 door only? it may just be the angle of your camera but to me it looks as if the B pillar is very much hindering your view to your right, something that with a 3 door car would be greatly improved by bigger front doors, perhaps they should have based it on the 3 door GR shell??
The price is too close to the GR Yaris for me. You can start looking at used GR Yarises at that money or save up a bit more for a new one.
Nice car! Toyota have made 10m Yaris's.....or is it Yari??
😂😂😂
What is the point of this car? When you can get the full fat GR? And the new one coming very soon!!!
I fit my bicycle in a smart for two with one wheel off. I'm sure you can fit your bike in a Yaris without taking both of them.
28" wheels
I started counting the number of times you said “nice”, but I lost count…. Guess that sums the car up then….
Here's the problem, why would you buy the top of the line sport GR when for a couple of $k more you can get the full fat GR Yaris? Because the GR Yaris is not going to suit everyone, it is a little bit compromised in terms of comfort, NVH etc. Some people are not going to want a car with the unsubtle nature or rough edges of the GR Yaris and the huge difference in power is not going to be so important. I agree with PP, it would be a great city car with a little bit of cred shadow from it's homologated brother
Be good if you could test drive the Clio hybrid to compare
