Last week was a huge one for UMW Toyota Motor. Not only did it reveal the Vios facelift and Yaris facelift, the local Toyota distributor also unveiled the homegrown Vios GR-S sporty variant and launched the 2021 season of the Toyota Gazoo Racing Festival, which includes the Toyota Vios Challenge one-make race.
UPDATE:
The GR Yaris is now priced at RM286,896 on-the-road without insurance, inclusive of the sales tax exemption that will be valid till June 30, 2021.
That’s already a fair bit to unwrap in one day, but we haven’t even mentioned the headlining act – the Toyota GR Yaris. The “made for WRC” hot hatch reaches our shores less than a year from its world debut at this year’s Tokyo Auto Salon. We were there to witness Akio Toyoda pull the wraps off the GR Yaris, in what felt like years ago although it was in actually in 2020. Here’s the car now, in Shah Alam.
