Toyota Centres Host UK Debut Tour of the New GR Yaris

The new GR Yaris is breaking cover in the UK this week with the start of a summer tour of Toyota retailers. The thoroughbred performance hatchback, developed directly from Toyota Gazoo Racing’s World Rally Championship-winning experience, is making its debut ahead of its official launch in October.

The display gives potential customers and those who have already reserved their car the chance to take a first close-up look at the model “in the metal”. Each Toyota Centre is operating a personal appointment service, so everyone will have plenty of time to take in the detail and learn more from the specialist sales teams about the GR Yaris’s performance and equipment specifications.

The tour begins this Saturday, 18 July, with four locations in London and the South East confirmed through to 25 July. Details of further appearances nationwide during August will be announced shortly.

The initial calendar is as follows: –

• Inchcape Toyota Guildford, Surrey, 18-19 July, information and appointment bookings here.
• Jemca Toyota Edgware Road, London, 20-21 July, information and appointment bookings here.
• Hills of Woodford Toyota, Essex, 22-23 July, information and appointment bookings here.
• Steven Eagell Toyota Milton Keynes, Bedfordshire, 24-25 July, information and appointment bookings here.

The car is a pre-production model and will be on static display only. Details of driving opportunities in production-ready cars will be announced at a future date.

The GR Yaris is Toyota’s second global GR model engineered by Toyota Gazoo Racing, following the launch of the GR Supra. It is powered by a new, turbocharged 1.6-litre cylinder engine that produces 257bhp and drives all four wheels through Toyota’s new GR-Four sports all-wheel drive system. Acceleration from 0-62mph can be achieved in less than 5.5 seconds.

Customers opting for the Circuit Pack version of GR Yaris gain further performance-focused features, including 18-inch BBS forged alloy wheels with Michelin Sport Pilot 4s tyres, circuit-tuned GR suspension, two Torsen limited-slip differentials and red-painted brake callipers.

The new GR Yaris is available to order now. Purchase finance offers starting from zero per cent APR representative were announced last week, for details and terms and conditions please visit here.
