Born from rallying

Built by champions

Toyota has pushed the limits in motorsports for more than 60 years, developing new ideas in the heat of competition. GR Yaris is the embodiment of this ideal – an instant-classic hot hatch created using a ‘race to road’ philosophy of constant improvement.

Built by champions
  1. Heritage
    1. The Celica GT-Four ST165 in action on a rally stage
      Celica GT-Four ST165
      Four-wheel drive is fundamental to success in rallying, ensuring surefooted performance in all conditions. The GT-Four ST165 was Toyota’s first all-wheel-drive rally car. It scored Toyota’s first WRC win and powered Carlos Sainz to the 1990 Drivers’ Championship.
    2. Toyota’s Celica GT-Four ST185 on a dusty rally stage

      In three years of competition the dominant Toyota Celica GT-Four ST185 racked up 16 World Rally Championship victories, three back-to-back WRC Drivers’ Championships and two Manufacturers’ Championships.
    3. A Corolla WRC car tackles a spectacular jump
      Corolla WRC
      Hailed as one of the most advanced rally machines of its time, the turbocharged, all-wheel-drive Corolla WRC scored four WRC victories and won the 1999 World Rally Championship.
    4. A Toyota Yaris rally car in mid-air on a forest track

  2. Philosophy
    1. A crew works on a Yaris rally car
      Race, improve, win
      The most demanding of motorsports, rallying is a brutal environment in which to develop new technology. By running them flat-out until they break, then implementing improvement, Toyota embraces the challenge to create unbeatable cars.

    2. Pushing the limits

      Power is nothing without reliability and durability. The 280hp turbocharged engine at the heart of GR Yaris was perfected using a rigorous motorsports programme on rally stages all over the world.

Safety

Safe, safer, safest

For class-leading safety functions, Toyota GR Yaris is built with T-Mate – your helpful driving partner. T-Mate is a series of systems designed to support you and make driving safer, whether you’re on the motorway, in the city or parking.

    2. Pre-Collision System (PCS)
      Our Pre-Collision System can detect and help you avoid collisions with other vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists. It works by alerting the driver with audio and visual warnings and brake assistance. If the driver doesn’t manage to brake in time the brakes automatically engage to prevent or mitigate a collision.
    3. Lane Trace Assist (LTA)
      Our Lane Trace Assist System is designed to make motorway driving safer. It keeps you centred in your lane and if you start to drift from it, steering assist will gently steer your car to correct its course.
    4. Road Sign Assist (RSA)
      Road Sign Assist monitors the road signs ahead, displaying useful information such as the current speed limit or overtaking restrictions on your cockpit display. The system also provides a visual and acoustic warning if the driver isn’t following a road sign indication.
    5. Adaptive High Beam System (AHS)
      This system is designed to ensure the best possible visibility for all road users when driving at night. It automatically optimises headlamp distribution, by shading out the area containing oncoming traffic, so your high beams do not dazzle other drivers but still give you plenty of light.
