Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) officially announced yesterday the immediate availability of the new GR Yaris, which now comes in both manual or the newly available automatic transmission.

Boasting a motorsports pedigree straight from the World Rally Championship (WRC), the GR Yaris embodies Toyota Motor Corporation Chairman Akio Toyoda's belief that "roads build cars." As part of its philosophy to continually develop ever-better cars, Toyota emphasizes motorsports as an important avenue to test the limits of its performance cars and develop them for the road.

The new GR Yaris sports a bolder and more aerodynamic exterior design, emphasizing its rally-bred heritage. It comes with new 18-inch forged aluminum wheels and 225/40 tires, LED headlights, daytime running lamps, rear combination lamps, and a new rear spoiler.
