Toyota Yaris GR-4 AWD Turbo

[23Kev]

Will be super interesting what the price on the Rallye is. I'm definitely not in the market for it and don't actually see the value in it for me. Going by the press release https://toyota.pressroom.com.au/pres...navSectionID=2, only 1100 have been sold, not the 1300-1400 people were talking about. It took ~6 weeks to sell the further 100 at $45k. Selling the Rallye @ $55k-60k (guesstimate) will be easy initially (maybe 100) but then will take a bit longer to sell all of them. Probably be proven wrong, the hype around the car is kind of amazing.

All sold out with Toyota trying to obtain more stock late next year.

Chris Harris is loving it...

Picked up the dealer car today to do a video with it. Got under it and it’s a good little thing. Plenty of suspension upgrade parts incoming.

interestingly the dealer isn’t giving test drives anymore because they don’t have anything to sell so no point apparently

Cleveland Toyota has a black demo in. Was going to stop by in the AW11 today and try to wangle a test drive but really don’t want to be tempted to buy one!

They look cartoonishly angry in person.

inital (not official) pricing had it at 53990? I doubt it would be much more than that.

My order status changed, planned build in dec 2020.

Mine as well!

can someone please explain the model options to save me reading back through 100 pages? or more specifically what's the deal with the all singing, all dancing tricky diff version? is that coming to Strayla?

[lukevl]

The base spec which is what we have now is a haldex style (clutch at the front of the diff) with an open diff centre. Rear torque will be limited by the clutch capacity. It has torque vectoring by braking I believe so that helps it turn in.

I think the fancy diff version is just a pair of Torsen centres on top of that but I’m not 100%

A white one is at Glen Waverley Toyota getting sorted for pick up by its new owner tomorrow

Toyota knows they have this little market's balls in their hands.. sell some cheap initial base models.. remove them from the market before the end of the year.. sell the Rallyeye for another 6 months at $53-55k or so... then reintroduce the base model GR4 again in 12 months (if they have to).

Meanwhile, standard base model Yaris models continue to sell 5 a month until they are discontinued, because way overpriced.

Sometime in 2021 comes the new 2.4L FT86 and Yota plays more games...as they know they have some demand there too.

This page shows the standard specs. https://www.toyota.com.au/gr-yaris
Also shows the main Rallye specs further down the page. Red brakes, diffs as per Luke, wheels, tyres, suspension tune, roll bar, red stitching on seats etc. That’s the circuit pack in the UK and the version that all the reviews are about.

Have seen prices for complete rear diff at approx $2600 aud.

For anyone that has been on a test drive - How usable is the back seat?
