Aero Performance Package-enhanced Toyota GR Yaris priced
Introduced in Japan last year, the Aero Performance Package is now a standard entity on the South African-market GR Yaris.
Toyota South Africa has introduced the Aero Performance Package to its GR Yaris model, originally developed for the World Rally Championship (WRC). This package, first revealed in Japan in September, has now been made available in South Africa. The package consists of six fine-tuned aerodynamic enhancements aimed at improving cooling and overall performance, but it does not increase the engine's power output or alter the GR Yaris' lineup.
The package includes a new lip spoiler, aluminium bonnet vent, rear-mounted front wheel arch vents, sealed underfloor fuel tank, and air ducts on the bumper. The rear wing and bumper air ducts are designed to enhance handling stability at high speeds and reduce the parachute effect, respectively. The inside of the GR Yaris remains unchanged, and the engine's output, top speed, and acceleration remain the same, with the 1.6-litre G16E-GTS turbocharged three-cylinder engine still producing 210kW/400Nm.
The GR Yaris is still available in the Rally trim level, with the new Aero Performance Package increasing the price by R18,000. The package also comes with a three-year/100,000 km warranty and a nine-service/90,000 km service plan.
