| TOYOTA YARIS GR INTERIOR
Toyota Motor Corporation premiered the new GR Yaris - a
homologation model for the FIA World Rally Championship car. Learning from
competing in the World Rally Championship, Toyota developed the GR Yaris
together with Tommi Makinen Racing from the ground up.
Toyota Gazoo Racing, have come to know, through the WRC,
various types of roads regularly used by its customers around the world. Thus,
the GR Yaris was developed to be a car that responds to driver demand on all
types of roads worldwide. Based on the knowledge and know-how accumulated by
Toyota Gazoo Racing, the birth of the GR Yaris is the result of giving form to
what has been learned from the World Racing Team and the GR Yaris is meant to
be a car that allows anyone to drive as one wishes with peace of mind.
The engine choices include a nasty-sounding turbocharged,
1.6-liter, direct-injected inline-three that uses lightweight moving parts in
the turbocharger, air intake and exhaust system. Making 272 PS (268 horsepower)
and 273 lb-ft of torque, Toyota claims it has the world’s highest output for a
three-cylinder engine. And at 167.5 HP per liter, those claims could hold
water. By contrast, a Ferrari 488 GTB makes 169.4 (nice) HP per liter.
(Toyota’s Japanese media release notes this power output is for the Japanese
version. The European version is rated at 257 HP.)
All that’s hooked up to a six-speed manual.
The brakes include 356mm, grooved front discs with four-pot
calipers. Customers can further upgrade the car with an optional Circuit Pack,
which gives you a Torsen limited-slip differential on both axles, a
performance-tuned suspension, 18-inch forged alloy wheels and Michelin Pilot
Sport 4s 225/40R18 tires.
Toyota is generous with the equipment and rolls pretty much
everything in as standard, meaning little need to hit the options list. The
base model gets smartphone integration, meaning you can access your apps via
the standard touch-screen interface in the centre of the dash. This is a good
thing, given Toyota’s built-in navigation and infotainment looks a little dated
in comparison with some of the better systems out there. Air-conditioning and a
reversing camera are also standard. The next model up gets a slightly bigger
screen, a fancier ‘binocular’ instrument cluster and privacy glass in the rear.
The top two trim levels get bigger wheels, part synthetic leather upholstery,
upgraded JBL speakers and more. An optional Tech Pack on the top model even
adds a head-up display projecting speed and navigation information onto the
windscreen, which is impressive tech for a small hatchback of this type.
There’s a touch more space between the front seats and less
chance of rubbing shoulders with your front seat passenger. It’s lower, though,
and the sloping roofline does mean headroom for taller rear seat passengers is
a little tight. The rear doors are quite short too, so access to the rear is a
little restricted overall.
The benefit of these new proportions is felt in the
handling, the car’s lower and wider stance giving it a bigger ‘footprint’ on the
ground, meaning it feels more stable and, by extension, more fun to drive.
Overall, Toyota has clearly prioritised handling over comfort with the
suspension settings for the new car, which will likely go down well with
younger buyers and means it can hold its own against the latest rivals from
Peugeot, Renault and Ford.
