Singapore Motorshow 2025 witnessed an electrifying debut as Toyota unveiled the new GR Yaris.
“Isn’t this an existing model?” you might ask. Yes, while the GR Yaris isn’t new, it now comes with an updated 8-speed automatic transmission.
At its heart lies the 1.6-litre, 3-cylinder turbocharged engine, delivering 276hp and 390Nm of torque. This is paired with the new 8-speed GAZOO Racing Direct Automatic Transmission, a marvel of engineering that promises lightning-quick gear changes and seamless acceleration.
With a 0-100 km/h sprint clocking in at just 5.2 seconds, seems like the engineers were right.
The drivetrain offers all-wheel drive, ensuring stability and control. Enhanced suspension tuning and reinforced chassis components guarantee agility and precision, making this car as thrilling on the track as it is on your daily commute.
Eric Tong, Sales and Distribution Director of Borneo Motors Singapore, encapsulated the spirit of the launch, saying, “The new GR Yaris brings motorsport excitement to everyone. It’s a perfect fusion of performance and convenience, making every drive a memorable one.”
On the inside, a 15-degree tilted control panel and a lowered driving position enhance ergonomics and visibility, putting the driver firmly in command. The 12.3-inch full-colour TFT gauge cluster, complete with real-time performance data like turbo boost and g-force metrics, ensures you’re always in tune with the car’s capabilities.
Smart connectivity features like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integrate seamlessly, while an immersive audio system elevates your daily drives. The Drive Mode Select feature lets you tailor the car’s dynamics to your preferences, blending practicality with pulse-racing excitement.
