Toyota GR Yaris UK Debut Tour Adds Extra Dates and Venues
With excitement building ahead of the October arrival of the GR Yaris and the success of the previous tour dates, 40 more locations have been announced in the new model’s summer tour of Toyota retailers. The second part of the national tour will get under way on Tuesday, 25 August and continue through to 13 October allowing potential customers to take a first close-up look at the model “in the metal”.
The eagerly anticipated GR Yaris is a true performance “homologation special”, honed and developed from Toyota Gazoo Racing’s World Rally Championship-winning experience.
Most centres will have a car on show for two days. Customers are invited to make a personal appointment to visit, giving them plenty of time to take in the detail and learn more from the specialist sales teams about how the GR Yaris has been developed, its performance and equipment specifications.
