2021 Toyota GR Yaris review: 0-100, 1/4 mile & detailed review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 июл 2024
- We've finally driven the 2021 Toyota GR Yaris. It's one of the most anticipated new car launches of this year and it has put a massive smile on Paul's face! Paul Maric does a detailed video review of the GR Yaris, which includes a 0-100km/h performance test in a variety of drive modes, along with a 1/4 mile run.
We need to give a massive shout out to the guys at Tuners Edge. They loaned us their own vehicle because we couldn't get our hands on a press vehicle for another few weeks. Make sure you check out their RUclips channel to watch the build progress on their GR Yaris monster! / @tunersedge37

Авто/Мото
Toyota, if I had the money I would buy this instantly! Thank you so much for making great cars. Hope I can afford one eventually!
Toyota, I salute you! This makes me happy.
That makes two of us!
I think I've watched or read every single review of this car there is - but this is one of the best. Good work!
Can't believe you are doing a review of this car. So awesome!
😁
mate can i just say you launch that thing like a boss. perfect amount of clutch slip.
EXCELLENT review. You covered everything I wanted to know, thank you 👍🏻
The car that has gotten the most press this year is not a multi million hyper car, but a Toyota Yaris. Awesome!
😁
Walked by one of these and i was thinking, "a yaris R? Must she slow as hell" toyota never really show what they can do. They made the LFA, and the century is pretty much only sold in japan. So now when they've blown us away with the driving experience they had to use a chassi and name of the yaris? 🧐
@@kaliberoh955 YES! With a big smile
True that
@@kaliberoh955 Only the front half of the chassis is a Yaris.
I would have bought one in a flash when I was in my 20’s. I’d still buy one now!!! 💗
An excellent job by Toyota
The gr model is 56k
Expensive car mate
Good review Paul..What a stonking little car this is! Toyota took my deposit today for a Rallye, now I have to wait till March.. lots of twiddling thumbs!!
Congrats! You’ll love it 😁
The 2021 model is 65k
Lucky you lol
What a beauty of a little car! Great review as usual.
Thanks!
Great review Paul. Loved the chirp into 2nd
Red, arriving March hopefully. I have done a brief test drive and loved it. The more I read and watch about the car, the more excited I get!
You are one lucky man
👏👏 congrats on the purchase!
Lucky bastard!
My brother drove one in Adelaide and was blown away he was driving a Toyota great review Paul
👏👏 love it!
Picked up my Feverish Red 2 weeks ago. Absolutely love it.
Congrats on the purchase!
Great review champ👍🏼
Great review 👍Ordered the same colour and spec.Test driving was MEGA🇦🇺
Congrats !
Can’t wait to get ours !! Great video guys 👌🏻
You’ll love it 😁
Have you still got it?...mine lasted 6mths and Engine BLEW...Toyota replaced it but I sold it 2 weeks later...IMO the little 3 Cylinder is just at its absolute Max capacity from factory and more than likely the reason they DONT run the 3 cylinder in actual Rally...they use a 4cyl and I can't work out how Toyota even got homologation through as the Road and actual Rally version DO NOT HAVE the same engines unlike all the Legends of Rally like Evolutions and WRX etc...What the Rally Car had under the hood was the Same as what you got from the dealership...modified of course...but the SAME basic engine.
Now imagine you've had the torson diffs. I ordered a white one with the high performance package like 2 moths ago (i'm from germany and we can get the track package with red calipers, better suspension, BBS forged wheels and torsen diffs for around 4k€ ontop). It's currently on the ship. Sceduled to around January 7th. Can't wait for it.
Beastly little unit!! Proper fast Toyota
Ripper review...yet again, Paul. Thanks! My black car should arrive this week. Currently have fantastic Mk7 Fiesta ST stage 2+. GRY @ $39,950 is the only car that stopped me getting the amazing Mk8 Fiesta ST. Only expected mods are K&N air filter, stickier tyres and maybe exhaust. Cheers.
Very nice! Enjoy the new car 😁
One of the best GR Yaris videos I've seen. And I've seen almost all of them 🤣
Keep up the great content!
Thanks!
Ordered a white one the other day. Pumped as for mid 2021 when I get it
Very good review and enjoyable
Ordered the RallyE. Confirmed delivery. Can't wait.
what dealer? State?
I'd love to own one of these
This reminds me of a modern Toyota version of the early 90s Suzuki swift gt ( which I had and loved) in its surprising performance and speed for its appearance. I miss disappointing crx and civic drivers in my swift, sometimes on a back road you could even make a mustang and Camaro look bad in those days.nice job Toyota. I love a car that punches above its weight class.
👏👏
Hi Paul, Thanks for the nice review. I am waiting for your review on i20n . I am excited about all of the three: Fiesta ST, Yaris GR and i20N but still waiting for your views on the upcoming i20n. Please can you let us know when you will be reviewing the prototype model??
Hey Rabin - will do! We won’t be driving it until it is released unfortunately 😭
Im getting one in about 2-3 months. Super excited, cant get enough of GR yaris content. Thanks for review

I got it yes, 1500km on it. Im not planing to put any engine mods on it so i think it should be fine. also im not a race driver, so i wont be doing lap times with it :) @@cadpeter7972
@@Flysohigh18did you get the Rallye version and how has your experience been so far?
@@JasonISF yes rallye, called race here. Super happy. I hope to never sell this car. Doing few discrete mods on it here and there.
@@Flysohigh18 awesome, I am hoping to order the 'evolved' facelift one when it's available later this year. There is nothing else in the price range that offers such a compelling package 👍
Can't wait to see it on the road.
I haven't seen one on the road yet but customers should be getting their hands on cars as we speak!
I definitely want one, probably in black. The rally e pack is called High Performance. The car reviewer is very good. I think I'm going to watch more videos of him. BTW, he reminds me of the Carwow guy, which I also think is very good.
Great review, white one arriving in 2 weeks 😊
Congrats! The white stands out really nicely.
Hello Paul! Great review as usual. Can I ask you a favor of reviewing the latest Mitsubishi Evo Car? That'll be awesome 😎😌
I love 3 door cars just like 90s
Lovely review
Thanks!
Impressive car. Good work Toyota! Definitely would buy one if I had a few quid laying around lol.
Ordered a white one, got in at the $39k first edition special price :D
👏👏👏👏
WTF!!! $39k is insane. Hopefully I can pick up a Rallye edition in a few years on the second Market. Just bought an FJ Cruiser so I don't think bringing up the subject of buying another car right now would make my wife too happy.
Wow a great buy, the surprise car of 2020
Nice one
They should've gone even more minimalist and built it with the same inline 3 but mounted it latitudinally and made it rwd only. It would actually warrant a sport cup 2 oem fitment and the weight and drivetrain losses saved would have it trapping above 105 mph in big boy territory no tune or bolt-ons required. They could've mounted some trick twin opening intake and had enough room to squeeze in a pair of double wishbones at the front corners. The rear tires would need an extra 10mm stagger to aid traction but then again when has a closed-torsen ever needed help ?? Shorten the final drive 15% and the word to the wise would be to only go full throttle in 3rd gear and up. Or lengthen the final drive 15% and let the drivetrain yank you along like an e36 m3 only 150 kg lighter but with the same redline..
There is a flap that opens in the air box at higher revs to allow more air in.
10/10 without a doubt. Well done Toyota. Hopefully they will do a decent job with the Corolla GR
Looking forward to the Corolla!
The future is now, I think they knocked the GR Corolla out of the park.
Nice review, cant wait for the 'rallye' version
We are keen to have a drive too!
I am from the UK and have ordered mine in Scarlet Red - exciting car although letting my current car go will be a real wrench..
What current car are you replacing
I'm in the UK to. Getting mine in Solid White, arrives in March.
Nice one!!
Love it mate.
What's the RRP?
Just ordered a 2020 IS F sport 350.
This will be next on on the X-Mas wish list.
200 KW from a 3 cylinders, that's insane.
My AU XR8 III Is good for 225KW.
Absolute mind blowing.
👌👌👌
tooo paul good video, gorgeous car
Thanks mate!
Ordered track pack spec in white in September can’t wait. Going straight for a full ceramic makeover on a trailer and get it back a week later. 😊👍
👏👏 very nice!

GOOD REVIEW ! 17:48 WHY YOU SHIFT EARLIER :D ? Keep up the good job !
Ordered one in red. Arriving in Jan next year. I thought Sports and Track mode only changed the torque distribution? Didn't realise it also effected the fake sound into the cabin and throttle response as well?
Yes! More sound on track mode.
Finally! A true successor to the might GT4. I want one so bad but reckon I've missed the boat 😭
Still the Rallye at 56k. It's expensive but it's definitely the one to have with those diffs
Love this car!
😁
lol now i'm even more depressed about missing out on one
😭😭
Why ? its a 25k minimum run not a limited isnt it ?
Toyota will be able to sell these all day long, expect to see some hopped up special editions
@@4Kandlez I think so too, why chop the arm off a model that clearly is in demand.....
@@rtorbs part of the marketing genius, create artificial shortage to pump hype even more in the long run
Nice drive, looked like you launched it fairly well maybe the half a second came from the hill? Half a second is a fair bit.
Yeah I've got a white one on order, just waiting for info on delivery. Not waiting for the Rallye as this be my fun daily.
👏👏
Very impressed.
Me too!
Can’t wait for Chris to do a track time 😎
We want to get one to him ASAP 😁
Ordered a white one. Wish Santa was delivering it, but I will have to wait until January.
Got the Rallye on order. Wished Toyota priced it more aggressively like the base model but oh well.
👏👏 it’ll be rarer!
Does a track day void the warranty though?
Arumai! ( In Tamil language it means Awesome 👌)
You covered all aspects. GREAT!
thanks a lot, very nice :)
2:23 are opened for refresh brakes with the circuit pack option.
Thank you!
200 kw and 370 nm. From a 3-pot. Astonishing
Agreed!
Similar to May Watson’s CarWOW review which is great, needs more Excite! Hahaha but great video.
Waiting for a review on the Skoda kamiq 😝
Coming!
They put heated leather accented seats on the GR Yaris but not on the normal Yaris, they kinda should for more comfort in my opinion.
Gees, everyone is pin pricking on the power statement. So I’ll do one more. You mentioned the fuel economy figure of 7.6 L/100 is just over 30 mpg. That would be if you were converting to American mpg which is roughly 3.8 litres to the gallon. If you’re converting to imperial mpg then it’s roughly 37 mpg for the rest of the world who use 4.5 litres per gallon.
Love these, can’t believe they sold out so quickly :(
I was like, okay I can save up for this, I actually really like it - oh they're gone.
@@dwade3202 Haha yeah I was in the same boat.
I hope Toyota is smart enough to see that a lot of people like the car and produce more next year
@@mohamedessam2906 They are but so far it seems only the Rallye edition for 50 plus on road
im waiting for the one that comes with lsd
I really want one but I missed out on the first discounted batch. Imagine how fast this would be with a dual clutch auto fitted but that's not saying I would want an auto but just pointing out if this had a dual clutch its 0-100 times would be in the low 4's easy. Such a monster little car and I love it so much. Maybe I'll still get one...maybe.
Would be quicker I suspect. But keep in mind the extra weight of an auto may also slow it down and defeat the gains.
Bought a white one (arrives in Dec) not sure if I should have waited for the top spec but with the money saved from the discounted price I'm not too bothered! 🤙
You’d have to be doing some proper track driving to justify the big daddy! This one is plenty fun.
Good job toyota love it
Can’t wait for mine, few weeks to go but definitely expect it to overdeliver based on all these online reviews. The sub 5 second time is due to 60 mph being only 96 kmph and taking 2nd gear to 7250rpm basically.
I’ve already got 235 AD08r tyres waiting to chuck on for extra grip for daily spirited driving.
Yes it was in part do to 96kmph instead of 100, but still owner did 1/4 0.4s faster
Uzivaj u autu ;-)
Yes, but owner still managed 1/4 mile 0.4s faster
Uzivaj u autu ;-)

How did he get the car so soon??? I’m one of the first thousand to pre order and mine isn’t here till next year...
😭
I order a red one first edition and it's an awesome car to drive...i even prefer it over my C43 AMG!
I love this channel....... It KICKS ARSE!!!!!!!!!!👍🇬🇧👊💪
Thanks mate!
Any chance you can review the Jeep Grand Cherokee overland ?
We have a review of the S-Limited V8 coming soon 😁
Hi Paul, yes a black one, not going into battle for the Rallye😏
Congrats on the purchase! You’ll love it 😁
This car’s phenomenon spreads faster than coronavirus. Can’t wait for mine in Januray!
😅
Paul Maric is such a chad
Not to be too nit picky, but this isn't the worlds most powerful 3 cylinder car (9:11), that honour goes to the Koenigsegg Gemera that has a 600hp 3 cylinder engine (mounted to 3 electric motors for a combined 1700hp!). Great review though, looking forward to seeing what the aftermarket comes up with.
Wicked car, Normal is 60/40 front biased, sport is 30/70 rear biased and then track is 50/50.
As cool as the carbon fiber roof is, I'm curious how it would fair against hail storms if it happens to be stuck in one. It's going to be a very $$$ fix.
Those blocked vents are for brakes on the Rallye model
I NEVER EVER thought I'd say this...but I want a yaris 🤣
Bravo bravo! Toyota Toyota ! I love you I love you! Just build one that I can afford plz😁
Can u do a review of Peugeot 3008
Really nice car from Toyota I would buy one without question if you could stop the fake noise and it had a better exhaust I know you can do this aftermarket but it does come with some consequences i.e. more money and you would lose the warranty on the exhaust system, It’s either this car or the Hyundai I30 n performance just can’t decide which
Very difficult to get a Rallye I have mine on order since day 1 and likely only 1 per dealership will be getting it from what I hear lucky I have the normal White one just incase
As per the update on the Toyota website there will be more Rallye's coming after the initial batch of 200 are gone so there shouldn't be any problem getting one
Dealers will eventually sell their demos too - so keep in mind you should be able to grab one then as well.
The Complaints I have about my 21 GR Yaris. Is- seating position is too high. Alot like my 17 Fiesta ST was. I know there is seat lowering kits for it. But Legal? Unsure? Void Warranty? Probably. The Paint. You just have to look at it and it stonechips. Other then that. Unpracticality aside. Granted only a second car and I work FIFO. But it makes it hard to do shopping for 4 with on occasion amd do the school runs with. I've had my fun with it now. After the Mk8 Fiesta ST, I've settled on a Mk8.5 as the keeper for awhile.
My order is Red, not being built till Jan...Grrrrrr4.
HKS Legmax exhaust will be ordered.
Nice! Exhaust will help it sound tough 😁
Hi guys.
Any chance you will be review the Rallye soon. Love to see a good video of the base GR vs Rallye both on PS4s tyres plus the normal how different it is to base GR.
Gr yaris is the most exciting car in 2020.
Agreed!
If I ran a tofu business, I’d buy this for deliveries!
**panda Yaris GR intensifies..!**
Paul didn’t get your underrated joke lol. The only comment that isn’t liked.
Should be awarded the Sport Car Of The Year *"GR Yaris"*
The car is soo nice to me I wish I can afford
I wish I had heard about these earlier I would have tried to get in at the 40k driveaway deal...
Toyota engineers at their very best.
Ordered a red one in nz with the lsd's yeee
👏👏 congrats!
Hey mate could you please
Do a review chrysler 300 srt...
Will try and get our hands on one !
From what I know those slots near the grille that is supposed to cool the brakes is closed for the Australian market (maybe regulation reasons), which is a bit shame.
Looks like it’s for the Rallye version - which is due in Australia early next year.
@@CarExpertAus Ahh.. Interesting
We get the circuit pack in the UK £33450.
740 for this year 1000 allocation for 2021 apparently👍
Have they all sold out in the UK?
@@CarExpertAus Because of the excellent reviews here the demand has been strong.I ordered a month ago and my salesperson has said it's been non stop.
If you want one in the UK I would get a move on put it that way😉
Please run a competition to win 1 ...... or 3!
😅
I'd have one!!! 😍
