The international GR Yaris is priced in the range of ₹26-36 lakhs, making it a popular and premium performance hatchback in the world.
The 2025 Toyota GR Yaris takes everything we love about Toyota’s rally-inspired hot hatch and makes it even better. It’s faster, handles more sharply, and now comes with more transmission options, making it the hatchback for enthusiasts of speed and raw motorsport.
Engine Specifications
At the heart of the 2025 GR Yaris is Toyota’s G16E-GTS turbocharged 1.618-litre three-cylinder engine, which has been significantly upgraded from its predecessor. The Australian GR Yaris model produces 221kW (296hp) at 6,500rpm, with the Japanese model offering slightly more at 224kW (304hp). Peak torque has increased to 400Nm from 3,250-4,600rpm,
representing a significant 21kW of power and 30Nm of torque increase over the previous generation.
The performance figures look impressive. The GR Yaris achieves 0-100km/h in just 5.1 seconds, with a top speed of 230km/h. The engine incorporates a number of improvements derived from motorsport, including a stronger valve train, new exhaust valve material, increased fuel injection pressure, lightweight pistons with wear-resistant rings, and an improved cooling system.
Transmission Options
For 2025, Toyota has introduced the GAZOO Racing Direct Automatic Transmission GR-DAT, an 8-speed torque converter automatic transmission developed specifically for the GR Yaris. This complements the existing 6-speed Intelligent Manual Transmission (iMT) with rev-matching capabilities. The automatic transmission features optimised gear selection control, improved responsiveness and improved shift timing during acceleration for sporty driving.
Dimensions and Design
The exterior of the Yaris features a more aggressive front fascia, which has been revised for greater aerodynamics, a new three-piece front treatment, enhanced cooling ducts and a redesigned rear light bar that spans the full width of the vehicle. The design incorporates motorsport-inspired elements that include functional aerodynamics and rally-bred styling cues.
