After last year’s presentation of the Toyota Yaris Cross as a response to the increasing competition in the crossover segment, the Japanese car manufacturer presented the GR Sport version of this model for the European market.

The Toyota Yaris Cross GR Sport is offered in several body colors, and is equipped with new body details such as a new black front grille, rear diffuser, modified suspension, a set of 18-inch two-tone alloy wheels and red brake calipers. The interior of the car is completely dark. The seats are upholstered in black leather with the GR emblem on the headrest. Black leather can also be seen on the door panels, dashboard and steering wheel. On the central console, there is a multimedia display.

When it comes to the powertrain, the GR Sport is powered by a standard 1.5l three-cylinder petrol engine assisted by an electric motor that develops a combined 116 hp (87 kW). Power is transmitted to the front wheels via a CVT gearbox.

Toyota Yaris Cross GR Sport will be on pre-sale from the third quarter of this year. The price is currently unknown.
