Toyota shutting down price speculation on GR Yaris Rallye

Toyota Australia is shutting down speculation on pricing for the special-edition GR Yaris Rallye by saying it has not announced pricing on the vehicle due for arrival in dealerships in 2021.

A Toyota Australia spokesperson says any prices being quoted for the Rallye model were purely speculative.

“We understand the excitement surrounding an outstanding pure performance car like GR Yaris, whether in standard or Rallye guise.

“We will not be communicating pricing for the special-edition GR Yaris Rallye to our dealers and the public until closer to the launch,” the spokeperson says.

Next year’s Rallye model will be limited to about 250 cars. It gains circuit-tuned suspension, front and rear Torsen limited-slip differentials and 18-inch BBS forged alloy wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres.

Toyota Australia started presales for the 200kW GR Yaris with a driveaway price of $39,950 for the first 1,000 cars.

Demand resulted in the initial allocation being snapped up inside a week, leading Toyota to release a further 100 cars at a new driveaway price of $44,950.

Vehicles in this allocation are still available according to Toyota Australia.
