WATCH: 2021 Toyota GR Yaris Hits The Track, Is This The Shot In The Arm Toyota Is Looking For?

The first drives for the 2021 Toyota GR Yaris have just taken place in Japan and after months of waiting, we can finally see the potent hot hatch being put through its paces on a tight and technical circuit.

The reviews you’ll find below are from Japanese publications as they seem to have been the first to test out the production-ready GR Yaris. Consequently, we have no idea what the reviewers are saying but if you switch in YouTube’s auto-generated subtitles, you can get a rough idea of what’s being said.

Great to see Toyota make a bunch of these GR Yaris cars inspired by the WRC race car. I doubt it will be sold outside of Japan. To compete it would need at least 310hp so it is not behind the offerings of Subaru and other super hot hatch makers.
