Toyota has generated world-wide critical acclaim and a fanatical following for the GR Yaris – the rally-inspired hot hatch that thrills like a pure-bred sports car at half the price.

This lovable rogue was originally conceived to be a homologation special for Toyota Gazoo Racing’s 2021 World Rally Championship contender, but Covid complications meant it never actually hit the gravel.

WRC heroes Tommi Mäkinen, Jari-Matti Latvala, Ott Tänak and Kris Meeke helped to tune the GR Yaris into a B-road warrior of unparalleled ability, with its adjustable four-wheel drive system, 257bhp 1.6-litre three-cylinder turbo engine and light, diminutive chassis combining to take it to the top of the hot hatch class.

The GR Yaris represents a high-water mark for fast road cars, offering exceptional levels of grip in both wet and dry conditions, thanks in part to that 4WD system. As standard, the front-to-rear torque distribution is 60:40, but if you want more traction, you flick it to Track mode for a 50:50 split. Sport mode, meanwhile, taps into the car’s playful side with a 30:70 configuration.

And while the GR Yaris feels like a new-age Subaru Impreza WRX or Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, Toyota ensured that it could be made even more impressive with the option Circuit Pack. This gives you an extra layer of B-road swagger through stiffer front springs, stiffer anti-roll bars, uber-cool lightweight 18in BBS alloys and Michelin Pilot Sport 4S performance tyres and transforms the GR Yaris from a sporty hatchback into a true rally-derived, track-capable homologation special.
