Overview
The Toyota GR Yaris is Toyota’s B-segment hot hatch, sold in Malaysia as the GXPA16 facelift with a 1.6-litre petrol engine, 296 hp and four seats. It suits buyers who want a small, serious performance hatch rather than a regular city car. Prices start from RM315,600, with manual and automatic choices.
GR Yaris in 2026 — what's new
For 2026, the Malaysian GR Yaris gets a new steering wheel design, revised electric power steering and revised dampers. The current car is the facelift introduced locally in 2025, when the eight-speed automatic joined the six-speed manual. The range stays simple: 6MT and 8AT, both using the same 1,618 cc petrol engine and four-seat layout.

Which variant to buy
Most buyers should take the 6MT at RM315,600 if they can live with a manual gearbox: it has the same 1,618 cc petrol engine, 296 hp output and four-seat cabin as the automatic. The 8AT costs RM325,600, so the RM10,000 gap buys you the conventional automatic transmission. There is no extra power with the 8AT, so pay more only if you specifically want the auto.

Verdict
The GR Yaris is the real GR item, not a GR Sport trim package applied to a mainstream Toyota. It also costs more than B-segment hatchbacks such as the MINI 5 Door, Proton Iriz and Perodua Myvi, so this is not a budget choice. Its case rests on the small body, the 296 hp petrol engine and the choice between 6MT and 8AT.
