Toyota GR Yaris with 276bhp: testing the £52,000 price tag

The Toyota GR Yaris returns to the test track with its 276bhp turbocharged three-cylinder engine and GR-Four all-wheel drive. It is an extreme recipe, designed to deliver the involvement of a true sports car in a compact package.

Autocar’s test focuses above all on the balance between driving experience and cost: in the UK, the tested car reaches around £52,000. The verdict must therefore determine whether its performance and character can justify a price associated with a higher class of car.
