Used Toyota GR Yaris for Sale

Why Buy a Used Toyota GR Yaris?

Few modern performance cars are as special as the GR Yaris. Developed directly from Toyota's World Rally Championship-winning programme, the GR Yaris has a bespoke chassis, a purpose-built engine and full-time all-wheel drive. It is a car built for drivers, not just for speed.

Sold in limited numbers and with a growing reputation as an instant modern classic, the GR Yaris holds real desirability on the used market. Buying used gives access to this rally car for the road, backed by Toyota's reliability and dealer network, without the wait that has often accompanied new examples.

Any remaining manufacturer warranty transfers to you as the new keeper, and every GR Yaris at Vertu is prepared and checked before it reaches the forecourt. For enthusiasts who want a truly involving performance car, the used GR Yaris is in a class of its own.

Is the Used Toyota GR Yaris a Good Buy?

Yes, for keen drivers it is one of the most rewarding performance cars at its price. Its 1.6-litre turbocharged three-cylinder engine, once the most powerful three-cylinder production unit in the world, produces 280hp and 390Nm of torque, driving all four wheels through the GR-Four system for a 0-62mph time of 5.2 seconds.

What sets it apart is engagement. The GR-Four all-wheel-drive system offers selectable Normal, Track and Gravel modes that vary the front-to-rear torque split, while front and rear Torsen limited-slip differentials sharpen traction. Later cars added the option of an eight-speed Gazoo Racing Direct Automatic Transmission alongside the six-speed manual, with competition-fast shifts.

Every used GR Yaris sold by Vertu is checked before it reaches the forecourt as part of our used car preparation process, covering no outstanding finance, no history as a taxi, and no salvage or write-off record. With that preparation and any remaining warranty, a used GR Yaris is a low-risk way into serious performance motoring.

Who Is the Used Toyota GR Yaris Best For?

The GR Yaris appeals to a distinct set of buyers. The table below pairs four of them with what the car offers.

What Is It Like to Own a Toyota GR Yaris?

The GR Yaris is a driver's car through and through, but it remains usable day to day thanks to Toyota's engineering and dependability. Its bespoke construction shares only its headlights, mirrors and antenna with the standard Yaris, with a forged carbon roof, aluminium panels and a strengthened chassis all aimed at lowering weight and sharpening response.

The cockpit is designed around the driver, with a 12.3-inch digital display offering normal and sport layouts, sports seats, a GR steering wheel and, on later cars, a raised, competition-inspired driving position. Toyota Safety Sense is standard, along with an 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so it does not sacrifice everyday features.

Because it shares Toyota's servicing network, maintenance is more straightforward than many specialist performance cars. Once a GR Yaris reaches Vertu it is inspected and prepared by our technicians before sale, and servicing it through Vertu's Toyota-trained colleagues helps protect any warranty still in place.
