How much horsepower does a 2024 Toyota Yaris GR have?
In most markets where it existed, the GR Yaris pumped about 261 PS (193 kW), roughly 257 horsepower, from its 1.6-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine. Some limited-edition variants pushed power higher—up to around 272 PS in certain regions. For the United States, there was no 2024 Yaris GR offering; Toyota’s performance hatch there is the GR Corolla, not the Yaris.
Power figures by market and edition
Below are the official figures associated with the GR Yaris across its production run. Note that power figures can vary slightly by market and edition.
- Standard GR Yaris: 261 PS (193 kW) and 360 Nm of torque from a 1.6-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine, paired with a six-speed manual and GR-Four all-wheel-drive system.
- Limited-edition variants (such as Nürburgring and Final Editions): marketed with higher output, up to around 272 PS in certain markets.
In practice, buyers should verify the exact figure for their region and edition, as there is variation between markets and model years.
Technical highlights behind the horsepower
Powerplant and drivetrain
The GR Yaris uses a 1.6-liter turbocharged inline-three engine delivering peak power in the high-rev range, with peak torque around 3,000–4,600 rpm. It is paired with a six-speed manual transmission and Toyota’s GR-Four all-wheel-drive system, designed for agile handling and strong mid-corner acceleration.
Market variations and limitations
Power output can be higher in limited-edition versions and for certain markets, while some regions follow different homologation and emissions requirements that influence tuning. The United States did not receive a dedicated Yaris GR as of 2024; Toyota’s performance hatch in that market is the GR Corolla with substantially higher output.
Summary
The 2024 Toyota Yaris GR, where available, typically produces about 261 PS (193 kW), roughly 257 horsepower, with torque around 360 Nm. Limited editions can push output toward 272 PS in select markets. The U.S. continued to skip a Yaris GR, focusing on the GR Corolla for performance hatchback options. Overall, the GR Yaris remains a high-revving, all-wheel-drive hot hatch that highlights Toyota’s GR engineering, with peak power varying by edition and market.

Can I buy a GR Yaris in the USA?
No, the GR Yaris is not officially sold in the US. Toyota has not brought the car to the US market due to factors like low anticipated sales volume and a lack of commonality with the Yaris model that was previously sold there, which was a rebadged Mazda2.
- Not sold in the US: Toyota has confirmed that the GR Yaris will not be sold in the United States.
- Reasoning: Analysts and sources attribute the decision to the likely low sales volume for the specialized performance model in the American market, especially since the standard Yaris was already discontinued in the US.
- Different from the US Yaris: The GR Yaris is a distinct car from the standard Yaris sold in the US. It shares very few parts with the US version and was engineered specifically for World Rally Championship (WRC) homologation, with a unique architecture.
- Alternative: Some US buyers have reportedly imported GR Yaris models from other markets, but this is not an official sales channel.
