Toyota GR Yaris Gets Aero Performance Package for Extra Rally Style

Toyota’s GR Yaris receives a motorsport-inspired Aero Performance Package, enhancing aerodynamics, cooling, and high-speed stability for rally enthusiasts. Developed with pro drivers from Super Taikyu and Japanese Rally Championship testing, it adds six key components to RZ High Performance and RC trims, launching in Japan October 2025 and expanding globally.

Package Components Breakdown

Front lip spoiler reduces lift for better grip; fender ducts vent wheelhouse air to sharpen steering under braking and corner entry. Rear bumper ducts minimize drag from wheel turbulence, while a fuel tank undercover smooths underbody flow. Large adjustable rear wing tunes downforce for tracks, and a bonnet vent with grille boosts engine cooling during sustained loads.

These rally-honed upgrades improve balance without power changes—retaining the 1.6L turbo three-cylinder’s 221 kW and 400 Nm.

Performance and Handling Gains

Testing shows enhanced front-end stability, reduced nose-dive, and better straight-line poise at 200+ km/h speeds. Braking feels planted, with aero aiding trail braking into corners. No weight penalty impacts the GR Yaris’s 1,280 kg kerb mass, preserving agility on gravel or tarmac.

Visual flair amps rally presence via vents, wing, and splitter accents.

Availability and Pricing

Japan starts at package-inclusive pricing on top trims; Australia offers GTS Aero at $64,990 manual/$67,490 auto (late 2025). Europe follows autumn 2025 orders; U.S. unconfirmed. Limited production expected, pairing with updated shifter logic for quicker downshifts and chassis bolts for rigidity.
