Just debuted yesterday at the Tokyo Auto Salon 2022, Toyota’s latest GRMN Yaris is the company’s most extreme and limited GR Yaris on sale now. Here’s the deal, it involves some luck as only 500 units will be offered and customers are picked through a lottery system. These lucky buyers will be informed in March via official GR Garages in Japan.
But that’s not all with this whole GRMN effort.
For the adventurous, there are 2, even more special GRMN Yaris add ons, in the form of the GRMN Circuit package and GRMN Rally Package. Both of which will be limited to 50 cars.
Also, good news for existing GR Yaris owners as some of these parts from the GRMN programme can be purchased to fit their own cars.
