01:00Welcome to the video from the Auto Magazine Tuning Blog about the 2025 Toyota GR Yaris Facelift.
01:07As always, you can find the link to read the article in our magazine in the video description.
01:12The compact all-wheel drive vehicle weighing 1,310 kg was developed as a homologation vehicle for Toyota's WR racing car.
01:22Actually, 2,500 units would have been enough, but Toyota continued to build around 18,000 vehicles
01:28and has now even carried out another revision.
01:32This effort deserves respect, just like the technical design of the GRJ.
01:38In order to accommodate a multi-link rear axle in a length of almost 4 meters,
01:43the platforms of the Yaris and Corolla were combined.
01:47A roof made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic saves 3.5 kg in weight,
01:52while the front and tailgate made of aluminum are 24 kg lighter.
01:56Apart from the exterior mirrors, roof rails and headlights, no body part is from the production year.
02:04The combination of Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires and the low vehicle weight ensures strong performance.
02:12Particularly impressive is the large single-scroll turbocharger,
02:15which provides noticeable boost pressure at 2,000 rpm and powerful acceleration from 3,500 rpm.
02:22The revised 1.6-liter turbocharged engine now produces 280 horsepower
02:29and offers a maximum torque of 390 Nm.
02:35Despite its three-cylinder engine, the engine has a powerful sound.
02:40Toyota has revised the valve train, installed new exhaust valves
02:44and optimized the pistons to achieve the increased power.
02:46The six-speed manual transmission with its connections works perfectly under load
02:53and a switchable double-declutching function makes downshifting easier.
02:58Visually, the third brake light has been moved lower to make it easier to replace the spoiler.
03:05Additional welding and adhesive points increase the rigidity of the body,
03:09while modified spring rates and front shock absorbers secured with additional screws improve handling.
03:14Inside, Toyota has redesigned the entire cockpit.
03:20The interior mirror has been moved further up and the seating position has been lowered by 2 cm.
03:27This provides a better view to the front and diagonally above.
03:31Toyota does not provide any specific information on adjusting the spring rates.
03:36However, users report slight understeer on asphalt at high cornering speeds,
03:41while the rear end is difficult to get to steer.
03:44However, things are likely to be different on wet or slippery roads.
03:49Acceleration from 0 to 100 km per hour is achieved in 5 seconds,
03:53which is even faster than the official factory specification.
03:58Braking performance is impressive at 33 m at full speed.
04:02Despite its performance, the GR year-on-year proves to be quite suitable for everyday use,
04:08even if it does not seem very spectacular in normal driving conditions.
04:11But driving pleasure comes at a price.
04:15With a starting price of just under 47,500 euros, it is not a cheap pleasure.
04:21The classification in fully comprehensive insurance is also correspondingly low.
04:25However, the compact sports car scores points with its high potential to become a classic in long warranty periods.
