Evolved GR Yaris Makes World Premiere
Newly Developed 8-speed GAZOO Racing Direct Automatic Transmission Joins Lineup to Expand Motorsports Base

this shows how closely Toyota is listening to customer and journalist feedback. They addressed many complaints with this refresh, hope they do the same with the Corolla. True Kaizen!
The GR Yaris is Toyota’s halo product. It’s purely Japanese. Purely Toyota. No American or European car can touch the Yaris’s DNA. It’s a singular automobile. Kirk, you must lobby to bring the GR Yaris to U.S. soil. Just do it! Stay awesome.
did you have a prius discord?
@@kalmmonke5037not me. 👍🏼
Too small though
@@namjanamja747 For guys like you, there's the electric Hummer.
@davidhunternyc1 just goes to show how mf'ing BORING Toyota has gotten with the yaris is the halo. Good god!
Personally, the most interesting thing this time is the LEXUS LBX MORIZO CONCEPT, which has the GR YARIS engine and drive system transplanted to it. If it is officially released in the near future, I think it will become something similar to the AUDI S1 and MINI JCW, which Toyota has never had before.
LBX is based on the Yaris so its only natural
And it has more power than the GR YARIS
@@marantamil459it's the same one as the updated GR Yaris so around the same 300hp
Hopefully this new 8AT makes its way into the next gen GR86 as well as the Lexus lineup (once Lexus starts putting more passion, effort, and energy back into their enthusiast cars).
The Lexus LBX Morizo RR Concept that was recently shown at Tokyo Auto Salon actually uses the G16E 3cyl & GR-DAT Auto. (306hp)
@@AbrahamArthemius I’d love to see this transmission paired to the V35 and squeezed into an IS or RC. The 6AT and 8AT were good enough for 2014 and 2017, but it’s crazy that those cars haven’t really received any powertrain upgrades since then (I don’t count the IS500 as a powertrain upgrade since that powertrain has more-or-less been around since 2015).
And also the GR Corolla will hopefully get the new 8AT!
Absolutely, I would love the 86 to have a good AT ❤️
Y'all need to learn MT😂
Exciting news! Toyota never fails to impress!
Its a Wrap Boys. Im sad about what happened to Subaru and the WRX, but thankful Toyota remains supportive for enthusiasts. Can't wait to see how this stacks to dual clutch options on the market
What’s wrong with the Wrx bitch boy
I absolutely love this update! THIS is how you do updates, I swear man, Toyota Gazoo Racing is the best sports car brand this side of a Porsche 🥰🥰
Bring all this to the GR Corolla please!
Love that Toyota goes into so much detail with the auto, but IDC, I'm still buying the manual
Kirk, As current GR Yaris owners 'upgrade' to this automatic version, I hope the market is flooded with plenty of cheap, obsolete, manual GR Yarises for the purists. 😉
Well.. they do offer 2024 GR Yaris in Auto and manual, it just happened that Auto is proven much faster than manual on their track.
You do know the Auto is just an option don't you?
continue dreaming of getting one for cheap ya broke asss
You can only be a purist with a manual.?
Cool story
It will not - in EU price tag for new yaris (both manual and auto) is much higher, than for previous one. Many people hoped for significant price drop of old model, but pricing policy for the new one will keep value of mark 1 on quite high level. I've ordered mine wit VIP package (forged rims and some extras) and auto transmission, and it will cost me above 240.000 PLN (60.000 USD with taxes). Previous one in 2021 was about 150.000 PLN (37500 USD)
I don't know how you do it. Such commitment!
Hope all goes well for you and the Crew.
There had been hints that Toyota was testing an eight-speed automatic on the GR Yaris at least a couple of years ago. I wouldn't be surprised we may see it on the GR Corolla as early as this fall; in fact, expect a couple GR Corollas fitted with this transmission to be undergoing EPA certification very soon.
About the hand brake lever...(according to the TGR web site) you get the standard horizontal lever. But you can also get a vertical lever handbrake for the RC trim for motor sports.
Kudos to the female interior designer for designing the "Driver First" cockpit.
It was a huge improvement on the interior to get better visibility and easier to use. It was inspired by Rally events and gives me a MK4 Supra and AE86 vibes.
The new GR Yaris interior is absolutely horrid. There are so many other ways they could've achieved the new better visibility without making the interior look like it came from a Toyota from the 80's in the worst way possible
Why do you have to mention gender? You're weird.
@@Unchainedmaple888 L take
Am I the only one that like the interior
Love the racing vehicle coverage.
Stop by Lexus of Tucson speedway when you're out here. A bunch of our team watch your videos!
Auto GR Corolla In The US....Would Be Wicked Awesome
I have a GR Corolla, and you're getting me hyped up for a new design inbound.
I hope they address the diff overheating. This is a problem for anyone trying to track this car or do a long session of canyon carving
100% correct!!
Watch the CARwow video on the new GR Yaris. They go into great detail with some of the engineers that built the GR Yaris about the new updates
If they have a trans. cooler for the auto, maybe they could incorporate one for a diff cooler as well. If they build an auto Corolla GR4 maybe I can finally get my wife’s blessing since She refuses to learn to drive manual! 🙌🏼
If this transmission makes it to the US, whatever cars it's in will be on my shortlist for my next car
Nah get the manual
@@ryebread095 Dude, this is a brand new 40k+ car. You can afford 2 cars if you can afford to dump $40k into 1 car. Modern manuals are so easy to use in traffic that's not a valid excuse lol
@ryebread095 "can afford" is factually wrong. Don't give me excuses, just say you only want one car to do it all. Don't use that afford BS. I have a Focus ST and Honda S2000, both cars are worth less than a single GR Corolla. I made the space to have 2 cars but I can't afford a GR Corolla. That's why I called you out.
@@philspaghetNot every car enthusiast wants to drive a manual transmission. I’m not against it it’s just that for a daily driver automatic is better in my opinion.
@@philspaghet Bro most people are probably financing these..
😂 Y'all hype up the modern manual experience like it isn't just 1-2-5 and cruising. It's only really that fun when you're driving very illegal on the roads or on the track.
Would that transmission fit on the older version of the Gr Yaris engine in case someone wanna swap?
Why is it so hard for Toyota to make a 1.6l tubro or superchrg 3 cyl hybrid with stronger batteries anf shove it in a sporty Yaris GR, Prius, anything?
Wow awesome video😊
Good to see more Toyota models coming with a fully digital dash. Can someone send a memo to Lexus HQ to remind them that these exist? 😂
Now we just need a turbo 3 GR86. The boxer engine was the sole reason I went with a GTI instead.
The 86 should stay NA for as long as possible. A Turbo 3 GR86 should be a new Celica.
Or throw it in the mr2 if it returns
I was not a fan of the dash at first but the more I see it the more I like it, not going to sell my GRY just yet but will see lol
Awesome
Screen tilt toward driver... I have been screaming for this forever. It does make global production a bit more difficult (LHD/RHD) but AWESOME
I wish they would of brought the GR Yaris over to the states. I still drive my 09 5 speed yaris and I love it.
Mat Watson on Car Wow drove it and it's only 280HP using the changes in the GRC. It's still a little slower than the GRC. Probably just less boost.
Euro emissions regs
Will the GR Yaris available northern America??
0:41 we do get the GR Yaris in America, they sell it in Mexico.
The interior has been optimised for six armed mutants to use now
I just seen this about the new gr Yaris. A) still surprised it doesn’t have 300bhp & B) not sure if it’s coming with heated seats
The GR86 needs this auto but manual still better
Shame production has ended, maybe in the next iteration
I wish we get the lbx in the US rather than the ux
That auto is probably one of the most interesting things in cars right now, basically a "sports" torque converter unit, and we know toyota loves their torque converters, and i do too, but i feel that one way or another this is directly helping development of other similar autos as realistically dual clutch designs are not for the normal people of the world when it comes to maintenance and upkeep, and just the 90% of city driving anyway.
Who knows maybe this will come in a future supra, with an actual toyota engine for a change.
I think that shift lever direction has always been in Mazda’s sequential shifters.
Bmw too
On a motorcycle, you shift down with your left foot for first gear, then up for each sequential gear. At least that's how it is on most street bikes. I think some race bikes have that reversed, but that's the rare exception.
normal shift is 1 down 2-6 up, GP shift is 1 up 2-6 down
I’d hope they can put the auto and new engine in the Corolla as these can be easily upgraded no?
The new engine in the GR Yaris is essentially the same one in the GR Corolla (Toyota gave the 1.6 a power bump when they made the GR Corolla)
The new GR Yaris automatic is perfect for me....too bad its not available in US and Canada.....you should see the also Matt Watson's review on the new GR Yaris....
Gr yaris gets excellent updates and changes . overall king and class leader of high performance subcompact cars and miles better than any hyundai i20n
i hope the new yaris front end goes on gr corolla
Cool, can't wait for this to make it to the GR Corolla and start overheating immediately.
They finally got the up-down shifting right!
I think you're wrong about the speed limiter
Try hat top speed unlock mode will only be in Japan. Japanese vehicles have had that for the past couple of decades so it would not be in cars being exported out of Japan
When will we see the GR Corolla Wagon?
Just no
I will get a GR Corolla when they do a automatic 😊
It'll be pretty hard to loose between an automatic GR Corolla and potential GR Prius. Hopefully the dealer markup situation gets better
Learn MT you pleb
Is the GR COROLLA going to get the Auto Trans or not?
If Toyota really want to differentiate SE and XSE from the LE and XL use the CVT on those models and install the 'Yaris' transmission in the SE and XSE.
I doubt it, unless the Toyota offers Corolla models with lightly turbocharged M20A-FKS boosted to around 210-220 bhp. Toyota will stay with the CVT with launch gear with the non-hybrid Corollas for now.
@@Brian_Eugene_Lee Aren't the CVT's used by Toyota built by their own Aisin tranmission division?
@@Brian_Eugene_Lee I know that NIssan has its own JATCO company build the CVT's for their cars. By the way, the CVT with the launch gear found on the Corolla models sold in the USA is a K120 unit, which is supplied by Toyota's Aisin subsidiary (if the information from Wikipedia is correct).
@@Brian_Eugene_Lee Fortunately, the Aisin units have a pretty good reputation for reliability (I haven't heard of any major issues with the K120 so far-knock on wood!).
Im curious if this transmission is similar at all to Mazda's transmissions?🤔
No paddle shifter?
3:36 they’re there.
I would like if they could do a cheaper 2 wheel drive version. Maybe it could be a TRD corolla.
They actually do (exclusive for the Japanese market). Called the GR Yaris RS, it has the same body as the RZ model (top trim, the one we’re familiar with), but has a regular 1.5L NA 3 cylinder engine (118hp), CVT, regular Yaris brakes, and the same double wishbone suspension as the RZ model). It’s also 150kg lighter than the RZ model (1,130kg/ 2,491lb for the RS vs 1,280kg/ 2,822lb for the RZ), with a further “light package” offered in 2022, which reduced the weight further to 1,100kg/ 2,447lb.
I was a huge Toyota fan for decades, but it has been difficult to be a fan since about 2000, when they started cost-cutting and creating lazy, ugly designs with low quality interiors. But I'm very excited to see them finally taking customers seriously again and responding to what we want, or at least trying hard to. This transmission could be a game changer if it's as good as it sounds...even if it only matches the ZF8 in real world performance it will unlock potential we've not seen yet from Toyota. I'm really excited to see some passion coming back to the brand. I keep wondering why they don't offer the Corolla sedan with the GR power train - think Corolla Apex with GR engine/trans. I think there would be a lot of takers, there's always a market for a practical, sporty car that hauls passengers and can do grocery duty while still being discreet and very entertaining to drive. The GR Corolla is cool but it's a very niche car with polarizing looks that you love or hate (I'm in the latter group) and offering the same power train in the sedan would open a whole new market.
Sad that we have nothing like this in the US
Toyota please build a powerful exiting enjoyable manual transmission especially for EV
Toyota constantly uodates their sports cars they sont forget about them like some other brands
If they bring an auto to gr corolla. It will be an ideal little city hatch.
It's amazing Toyota didn't make the interior too nice so that costs would be lower and customers will track the car more. If it's too expensive, the market will be smaller.
I think people are worried that there will be so many sales for the auto transmission option that it might make the automaker discontinue the manual option for that car. Especially when the automatic transmission inevitably comes to the GR Corolla… (will it?)
I would rather see some nice trim Yaris & the GR Yaris here in the USA than the crappy Corolla. Same with the Lexus LBX vs the ugly, station-wagon looking Lexus UX.
4:32 Moto rider here... and ive always wondered why auto manufacturers don't figure this out... mimic, I mean Honda has a moto and auto and they have this on their bikes along with autos. I ride Ducati which has radar cruise control on a manual transmission. So i scratch my head when auto manufacturers kock block you on radar cruise when you want a manual trans. NOPE you have to go auto! Why? Because its impossible, it would never work. 🤨 Looks to a MOTORCYCLE that does have all that. 🙄
and FYI its amazing. You can lock on to the target in front of you and you row through the gears while not touching the throttle. You still clutch in shift or not but don't touch the throttle. The bike will slow or speed up all on its own. Its wild. It allows you to take in the surroundings. Great for long distances.
@@aurorajones8481 Some cars with a manual transmission do have radar cruise control , I drive a Peugeot 208 which has it and it works quite well with the only caveat being that it will turn off below a certain speed.
The current GRY has that feature, called adaptive cruise control. It’s great on long boring journeys.
Put the new GR Yaris drivetrain in the next gen GR86.
Still no usdm model. The gr corolla is cool but I don’t wanna have 4 doors. Much rather 2.
Your livestream cracked me up last night. Don’t irritate Toyota too much.
Toyota provoked some justified backlash with that nonsense.
I'm glad the 3-exit exhaust is gone.
German cars are done they never listening to feedbacks a good example: New X5 cannot disable your start and stop function :) wow.
nothingburger is the funniest adjectives
Weren't they only making 25000 of these?
We need a video on new ICE development within Toyota
I was thinking about getting a Yaris or a McLaren. After this video I’m totally getting a Yaris!!!
Try harder, kid
Wish we get GR Yaris here. Corolla is too big for me.
I hope they will offer the GR drivetrain in the Lexus LBX.
That was a model shown at the Auto Salon with that exact powertrain
I don't understand why anyone would want this car in auto is the handbrake staying 😢
Looks like the auto in the new GR Yaris is a torque auto and not a dct auto.
I guess a torque auto is probably more reliable than a dct one for the long term. Unless its one of those really expensive heavy duty dct one.
That's disappointing.
Toyota please offer more blue hues and not make it a top trim option. We have enough white, silver black etc.
lol, if your core activity is just read from websites, at least do it right
Circuit mode is a Japan only paid option....read the footnotes, footnote 5....
Amazing DAT superior to DCT
Two things:
Why can’t we get a two-door GR Corolla??
Second, I wish companies would bring back the “EVO” moniker for their generations! Like Mitsubishi used to do with their Lancers and BMW and MB used to do with their DTM homologation cars.
Carry on.
No two door gr Corolla because the current one is already small and Toyota isn’t going to make an entirely new shell for a car that won’t make money. Names are just names
@@dawsongranger4940 I meant for the US. We get the four door plus hatch. I wish we had the two door plus hatch.
@@chuckcribbs3398 Yes I know you meant for the US. There is no 2 door Corolla already being made so that’s why there won’t be a 2 door gr Corolla. Get a Morizo without the back seats if you love impracticality
@@chuckcribbs3398 The practicality is part of the reason why I went to bump up from my 86 too the GRC.
Kids? You mean third-row and car seat reviewers?
I like all of the changes to the GR Yaris, except for the front bumper and interior dash layout. Not sure what they were thinking. IMO the MK1 just looks better.
I'll sell my dct elantra n for an auto GRC
Bmw m2 is fast

Reading the bullet points is silly.
Please improve your presentation.
I really hope it doesn't make it into the GR Corolla. The industry does not need more autos. It needs more manuals.
I hope it does. People who don’t want a manual shouldn’t have to get one. An auto will be objectively better for all driving except the feel for some
@@dawsongranger4940 The whole point of the car is the feel and experience. An Auto would be worse in those metrics for all.
Might as well buy a Challenger or a Camry
@@wayward03 you still have the feel and experience with an automatic. Just now with better performance. Charger is a heavy boat meant to go in a straight line and the Camry v6 is an identity crisis. A better comparison is the VW golf R. Which is auto only now because nobody wanted the manual
@@dawsongranger4940 That's sad. People really are lazy.
@@wayward03 it’s sad that you’re still trying to act superior over a transmission choice. Grow up man and stop caring about how people enjoy their cars
Moving to an automatic gearbox 🤣🤣🤣
Pretty much everything is automatic these days. Stick to manual!!
Auto 🙅🏻♂️🤢
Gazoo Racing is the worst name ever. Love Toyota, HATE the name. Gazoo. They should’ve just stuck with TRD badging.
Don't think that matters when a good chunk of people easily use trd as trd=turd so it's practically a pick your poison with the names along with trd being noting more than a appearance package now a days while GR is now the performance package/cars that toyo has made in the last decade.
I will NEVER buy a 4 door performance car(I don't believe in performance family cars). But if they brought the 2 door Yaris(with a manual) to the US, I will have to get it.
😢 Lame. Auto = for terds.
Nope r35 gtr has auto, mk5 Supra has an optional auto, the new z nismo has auto there a quite a bit of good sports cars with good automatic transmissions!
