The GR Yaris 2025 model year has received a new aerodynamic dodger. The most noticeable element is the track-day-adjustable rear wing. It is claimed to improve stability at high speeds and under hard braking.
The cooling of the 1.6-litre three-cylinder turbo engine has also been optimised. The bonnet with central ducting is borrowed from the flagship GRMN Limited Edition, but in this version of the model it is made of aluminium rather than carbon fibre.

Behind the front wheels, engineers have added air ducts to improve the car's stability during high-speed cornering. More air ducts are placed at the corners of the rear bumper to reduce the aerodynamic drag coefficient.

The aerodynamic package is completed by a front spoiler and a new lower fuel tank cover adapted from the GR Yaris race car for Japan's Super Taikyu series.
Technical changes:
- Optimised operation of the 8-speed automatic - gears shift even faster
- The rigidity of the structure has been strengthened
- Electric power steering settings have been changed
- New shock absorbers have been installed
In addition, a vertical handbrake lever is now available as an optional extra for all model configurations. The footrest has been enlarged in versions with automatic transmission. And the Toyota Safety Sense suite of safety systems is now a default part of the hatchback's base equipment in Japan.
Prices for the updated GR Yaris in Japan start from 3,560,000 yen (about $24,700 or 21,900 euros) for the base version with manual transmission and reach 5,330,000 yen (about $37,000 or 32,800 euros) for the top version with automatic transmission.
The updated GR Yaris is also already available for order in Europe, although prices have not yet been announced.
