​It’s probably fair to say that most buyers looking towards the Toyota GR Yaris aren’t really concerned about fuel economy and overall efficiency. Customers are far more likely to be enthusiasts with a stronger interest in lap times than MPG figures.

Regardless, the GR Yaris shouldn’t be too costly to run as it’s capable of around 32mpg on the combined cycle if you opt for the manual gearbox, although this drops to nearer 29mpg if you have the automatic. It’s worth remembering, however, that if you’re intent on exploiting the car’s full performance then you’ll see a marked drop-off in this economy figure. CO2 emissions of up to 215g/km also mean you’re unlikely to see many company car fleets taking on a GR Yaris.

Part of the tech that Toyota has engineered into the GR includes a revised direct fuel-injection system that helps to maintain economy and keeps emissions down.

Tax

Every variant of the GR Yaris costs over £40,000 when new, so they all incur an additional Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) road tax surcharge which applies from the second time the vehicle is taxed until it is six-years old.

Insurance groups

Insurance groups of 43-44 reflect the high performance nature and desirability of the GR Yaris. The Toyota’s ratings are very similar to those of the Honda Civic Type R, which resides in group 43.

Depreciation

The bespoke nature of the GR Yaris and how well it has been received, particularly in the UK, means that residual values should remain buoyant. Current data suggests that after a typical three-year/36,000-mile ownership period, the three-door hot hatch should retain around 56 per cent of its original list price.
