Toyota New Zealand’s September price list has revealed the news many hot-hatch fans have been eagerly anticipating.

The new rally-inspired GR Yaris will go on sale in New Zealand priced from $54,990.

The all-wheel-drive version of the Yaris – which joins the Supra in Toyota’s GR (Gazoo Racing) performance car line-up – is powered by a new 1.6-litre three-cylinder turbocharged engine developing 200kW of power and 360Nm of torque.

It’s the only new Yaris variant with a three-door body design that features a lowered roofline, widened track and advanced aerodynamics. It’s also the only Yaris with a manual transmission (six-speed) and GR specific suspension with high-performance braking hardware.
