Toyota showed the GR Yaris at the Tokyo Auto Salon in January 2020 and put it on sale in Europe in late 2020. It pairs a Gazoo Racing-built 1.6-litre turbocharged three-cylinder, the G16E-GTS, with the GR-Four permanent all-wheel-drive system and a bespoke three-door body. Japanese cars made 272 PS and 370 Nm, European cars 261 PS and 360 Nm. The update revealed on 12 January 2024 raised the Japanese rating to 304 PS and 400 Nm and the European one to 280 PS and 390 Nm, and added an eight-speed automatic, the Gazoo Racing Direct Automatic Transmission.
