The 2021 Toyota GR Yaris will have a sky-high recommended retail price of $49,500 plus on-road costs, but the first 1000 buyers will be able to secure one from $39,950 drive-away when order books open from midday next Wednesday.

An additional special offer will give the first 50 buyers of the GR Yaris a fuel discount of 20c per litre for the first 12 months, when purchased via the company's myToyota portal.

Although the price aligns with the Subaru WRX, the Toyota hot hatch is a class size smaller. The ageing WRX offers less power, however, and weighs nearly 170kg more than the 1280kg GR Yaris.

The engine in the Toyota GR Yaris is a 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol three-cylinder putting out 200kW of power and 370Nm of torque, making it the most powerful three-cylinder engine ever offered in a production car.

Power is distributed via a six-speed manual transmission to all four wheels, and the hatch can reach 100km/h from a standstill in 5.2 seconds.

The 0-100km/h time makes the GR Yaris quicker than the Renault Megane RS Trophy-R, but nearly half-a-second slower than the outgoing Volkswagen Golf R.

Online and in-dealer pre-sale reservations start on 23 September

      Would love to buy one, but just can't afford a new car with a $40k price tag anymore. Always had Toyota from my first car and got an 86 on release. Imported a Crown Majesta 2 years ago, and will sell to finance bringing a Century over next year once covid dies down (hopefully).

      I'm definitely not the target audience as I can't afford to buy one, but as a car dude it makes me happy to see cars like this being made.

        You say you can't afford one but you're going to import a $200,000 Toyota?

          Mid 2000 Centuries, the update 6sp can be had between 20-30k depending on kms. I'll get around 20k for my Crown as it is when I sell it.

          The $200k Century is the newest model which I obviously can't afford, and don't even like the look of to be honest.

          You come off as a dick in your post, just fyi.

  • OzViper on 16/09/2020 - 16:52

    Toyota should just be honest and admit that this is only going to sell at $39k. No one is going to pay $50k for this.. especially when they know people paid $39k for the same thing.

    If they didn't call it a Yaris I think they'd have a much easier time selling it. It looks like a decent little car but Yaris is associated with a cheap hatch unfortunately.

    • WhatWouldBiggieDo on 16/09/2020 - 17:53

      Agree that an 86 with 200kw would’ve been amazing. Centre of gravity height would’ve suffered but not a massive deal. Let’s see what they put in the GR86

    +7

    At the current price point, I salute Toyota for bringing this to market. I think it's a genuine bargain for the performance and driving experience on offer.

    The 50k price point is a whole different ballgame because you bring in many more competitors and presumably people with much more flexible budgets.

    It's a niche market and the normal consumer most likely won't understand the proposition on offer, as evidenced by a lot of the comments here. But if anyone can keep the affordable drivers car market alive, it's Toyota.

    • Top G on 16/09/2020 - 17:26

      If your spending 40k on a hot hatch you obviously have your finances in order to buy an indulgent car. May as well look into spending slightly more for more options.
      Do people really say wow I've saved 40k now I'm gonna go buy me a sexy sporty hatch ??? This car is 50k normally anyway, so it's intended for that bracket.
