Summary

Smallest of the GR bunch and one of Toyota’s sought-after models, the new GR Yaris, upgraded and launched in Malaysia.

Based on the existing Yaris, the GR-fied and rally-bred two-door hot hatch (B-segment) is meaner-looking, and packs quite a punch.

Priced (OTR, w/o insurance) at MYR 315,600, included is a standard vehicle warranty (five years, unlimited-mileage).
