- The already incredible Toyota GR Yaris has received a substantial mid-cycle update for 2024, evolving the rally-bred hot hatch into an even sharper performance machine. Debuting at the 2024 Tokyo Auto Salon, the enhanced GR Yaris benefits from more power, new transmission options, and chassis improvements to deliver an even greater driving experience.
Under the hood, Toyota has extracted an extra 19hp from the turbocharged 1.6-liter inline-three, now producing 280hp and 390Nm of torque. That boost in performance further widens the gap to rivals while providing a truly engaging drive. Toyota focused on durability too, fitting new pistons, strengthened valvetrain, higher fuel injection pressure, and other revisions engineered through Toyota’s motorsports programs.
Arguably the biggest change is a new eight-speed automatic transmission engineered specifically for the GR Yaris. The lightning-quick gearbox focuses on delivering competition-fast shift speeds to improve lap times over the six-speed manual. Toyota tested it extensively in rally competition for durability while tuning the software to predict gear changes based on driver inputs. The auto even outperforms the manual on track. It promises to be a game-changer for accessibility too, letting more drivers exploit the GR Yaris’ performance.
Chassis and steering improvements further elevate the GR Yaris’ handling capabilities. Increased structural rigidity and suspension tweaks sharpen turn-in, enhance steering feedback, and improve grip through high-load corners. Toyota also upgraded the brakes while reducing unsprung weight with new forged alloy wheels.
Inside, Toyota redesigned the cockpit for more accessible controls and improved ergonomics influenced by professional race and rally drivers. New digital instrumentation provides a motorsports-inspired display with a Sport mode for performance driving.
Visually, the enhanced GR Yaris gains Toyota’s new “Precious Metal” paint finish plus revised exterior elements to optimize aerodynamics, including a bolder front grille design. All light units switch to LEDs while a rear garnish change improves stability.
For Europe, Toyota will offer just a single “Circuit” spec reflecting the GR Yaris’ track focus. It bundles a new cooling package as standard consisting of an additional radiator, intake modifications, and intercooler spray.
Overall, the updates look set to cement the GR Yaris’ position as the hottest hot hatch around. Dialed-up performance combines with chassis improvements to stretch its capabilities further, underlined by the introduction of a lightning-fast new automatic transmission. Toyota has lifted the bar once again, evolving this giant-slaying pocket rocket into an even sharper proposition for 2024.

No sunroof?
I'd have the automatic one it looks great.., 👍
That long 8th gear could give it better economy over the 6-speed
not could, will. @@yasi4877
@@yasi4877Come on, who cares about fuel consumption????
Looks great with some excellent tweeks I have a mk1 it's a great car ,hopefully will get a test drive in the new one to compare 👍
When is the Automatic being delivered? And how much will dealerships mark it up?
I take automatic aswell, to lazy on changing the gear on busy road
Coming to United States? Miss the smaller sporty vehicles that were once popular.
Well you have the gr Corolla
Price?!?
I would still stick with manual
If the GR appears on the marked, this is freaking awesome. - Owning the "original GR", I'm impressed about the innovations. (The power upgrade can easily be reached by fitting a racing air filter and a suitable exhaust to the original GR by the way.)
I love my GR and I'd love that Toyota will continue the GR Yaris line...
this is still MK1 tho...
The new one has upgraded internals though so could easily be tweaked to 300
My 2023 gr yaris with some basic Upgrades I.e airintake , downpipes, exhaust System and a Stage 2 remap resulted in 350 reliable hp
In many ways, we are seeing the preview of the 2025 Toyota GR Corolla, especially the new 8-speed automatic that Toyota admitted to testing at least two years ago.
too bad it'll never come to the states
Has anyone else noticed the lines of the door to the a pillar are off near the wing mirrors. It’s a horrible fit. The door line finishes 10mm too low and dips in and you s not flush. Big oversight by Toyota.
doubt it's an oversight but I agree, it does look slightly off. I've never seen one in person since i'm in the states though.
I was interested in a gen1 but cancelled my order as I have 4 cars already . Then gen 2 was announced, now I’m very interested especially the ogier version , £45k for a bog standard one and £60k for the ogier with minor tweaks . Toyota you are having a laugh. I won’t be buying one now. I would’ve bought one at £35k or 38k, or £45k for the ogier one
You’ll also need to add £1200 first year tax
No thanks
Please make this car exclusive for driver of drivers. (Make only manuals)🙏🙏🙏
Why?
No love for Canada
No manual? Mehhh
What have they done to that front bumper? They completely ruined what was an amazing front bumper. So sad because they made the car better but way uglier.
It's NOT 280 HP - it is 300 HP
Ya it is.
