A three-door hot hatchback that’s been designed with track use in mind isn’t going to be on the shortlist of a growing family but, once inside, you’ll find that the Toyota GR Yaris offers just about acceptable room for a performance supermini.
Dimensions and size
The GR Yaris is 3,995mm long and 1,805mm wide. For comparison at the other end of the scale, a Honda Civic Type R is 562mm longer than the GR and 72mm wider.
How practical is the Toyota GR yaris?
Seats & space in the front
There’s a reasonable amount of space up front in the GR Yaris, which is important because it has been designed to be a fully-fledged driver’s car. Leg and headroom are ample for a car of this size, but with a lot of dark trim around the cabin some might feel it a little enclosed and slightly claustrophobic.
Seats & space in the back
A three-door design obviously makes it a little more tricky for rear passengers to enter and exit the car, and headroom is certainly on the tight side. Only two seats are available in the rear compared to three in the standard Yaris model. Adults will struggle to get comfortable in the back of the GR Yaris, but the seats do have ISOFIX points for the youngest occupants
Boot space
Boot capacity for the GR Yaris is just 174 litres, and this is miniscule even when compared to the standard Yaris’ 286 litres. This small capacity is mainly due to the battery being stored in the rear, as well as the packaging of the bespoke suspension and four-wheel-drive system taking up space.
