The 2026 Toyota GR Yaris continues the legacy of its motorsports-bred heritage with significant enhancements aimed at improving driving dynamics and control.
A newly designed GR steering wheel offers superior operability, featuring a reduced diameter for better steering response and ergonomically shaped grips, developed with the input of professional race drivers.
The steering wheel-mounted switches are independently positioned and illuminated for better nighttime usability.
Electric power steering settings have been refined using motorsport insights, ensuring optimal assist function even with high-grip tires and under high-load cornering conditions.
The RZ "High performance" trims now come equipped with Bridgestone POTENZA RACE tires paired with BBS forged aluminum wheels, offering extended high-grip performance and improved control both on and off the track.
Under the hood, the GR Yaris is powered by a 1.6-liter in-line 3-cylinder turbocharged engine generating 304 PS and 400 Nm of torque, coupled with either a 6-speed manual or 8-speed automatic GAZOO Racing Direct transmission.
The car features a sophisticated GR-FOUR sports 4WD system, complemented by Torsen LSDs front and rear for enhanced handling.
Pricing for the 2026 model ranges from 3,617,200 yen to 5,882,200 yen, approximately $26,700 to $43,500 USD, depending on trim and transmission choice.
