Why it matters

The GRMN Yaris is the top-level limited version of the GR Yaris, a lightweight rally-bred 4WD hatchback tuned with professional drivers. It was launched together with an Update Program and a Personalization Program that let owners have cars tailored and upgraded as in motorsport.

History

Toyota Gazoo Racing premiered the GRMN Yaris at Tokyo Auto Salon on 14 January 2022 as a 500-unit limited edition, sold by lottery with sales at GR Garages around summer 2022. Its development started from Akio Toyoda's (Morizo) wish for cars that evolve quickly and can be tailored to individuals as in motorsports. The registration name is GR Yaris GRMN.

Against the GR Yaris, weight is down by about 20 kg, width up 10 mm for aerodynamics and height down 10 mm. The body has 545 more spot welds and 12 m more structural adhesive. A Circuit Package in Matte Steel was limited to 50 units; a dealer Rally Package was also offered. Prices ran from 7,317,000 to 8,467,000 yen.
