The Toyota GR Yaris is a sport compact car manufactured since 2020 by Toyota with assistance from the company's Gazoo Racing (GR) division. It is a three-door hatchback which was designed to meet World Rally Championship (WRC) homologation rules. The GR Yaris is available with four-wheel drive alongside other significant modifications which differentiate it from the five-door XP210-series Yaris, with the rear of the car being based upon the larger E210-series Corolla.

 

Designed by Shota Ito, Takeo Okuno and Cho Byung-kan, The Gazoo Racing WRT team, led by team principal and 4-time WRC champion Tommi Mäkinen, was heavily involved in the design. The challenge was to build a car that was capable of being equipped to race at WRC events, but also suitable for daily driving. It was felt that unlike the standard Yaris the car needed to be three door, have four-wheel drive, a wider rear track and a double wishbone suspension layout to handle significantly increased torque. The design changes required that the GR Yaris be built on a combination between the front end of the standard Yaris' with the rear of the GA-C platform used by the Corolla, To save weight, the GR Yaris also uses aluminium for the front bonnet, boot lid and door panels. It also uses carbon fibre-reinforced plastic for its roof panel which was formed using the sheet moulding compound method

 

The production car is powered by a Gazoo Racing-built, turbocharged and direct/port-injected 1.6-litre G16E-GTS three-cylinder engine that produces 257 to 268 hp (261-272 PS) varying due to emissions regulations in certain markets. The engine is mated to a 6-speed V16-series intelligent manual transmission, and GR-Four permanent four-wheel drive system. It has a claimed 0-62 mph (0-100kmph) acceleration time of 5.2 to 5.5 seconds and a top speed of 143mph
