Good news as Toyota SA confirms a second batch of its brilliant GR Yaris is on its way to our shores. Here’s pricing and what’s coming.

You could say Toyota has well and truly shaken off its ‘boring car’ image. With the GR Supra, GR86, GR Corolla and GR Yaris, there’s enough performance to suit all needs and budgets.

The Toyota GR Yaris has been an absolute revelation and has received global praise for its performance and what it brings to the table. We at Cars.co.za adore the crazy little GR Yaris too with its 198 kW/360 Nm 1.6-litre 3-cylinder. A manual gearbox and all-wheel drive give it proper credentials on both tar and gravel.

Sadly the first batch in South Africa was quickly snapped up and some enthusiasts missed the chance to own one of these wicked road-legal rally cars. Good news as Toyota Motor Corporation has extended production and will be making many more.

Toyota SA has confirmed more units for us and they’ll be the top-spec Rally version, featuring a Torsen limited slip-diff on both the front and rear axle, as well as trick Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres. Standard kit includes things like keyless entry with push start, LED-headlamps with Daytime Running Lights (DRL) and auto function, LED foglamps, heated and power-retractable exterior mirrors, plus rain-sensing wipers. On the inside, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror, dual-zone climate control, Multi-Information Display (MID), 12-volt power outlet and a tilt-and-telescopic adjustable steering column deliver on convenience.

A 6-speaker touchscreen audio system is standard on all models, and features Apple CarPlay/Android Auto functionality for smartphones as well as Bluetooth and USB inputs. The second batch of cars will also feature a reverse camera and rear park distance control.
