Inside, there are sports seats with Ultrasuede upholstery and contrast red stitching, while the GR logo is placed in a number of locations including the front headrests, carpets and steering wheel.

The powertrain in the Yaris Cross GR Sport remains the same as the regular car. Its 1.5-litre hybrid petrol engine develops 114bhp and 120Nm of torque, with Toyota expecting this GR Sport version will return the same economy and emissions figures as the standard Yaris Cross, with up to 62mpg combined and emissions of 117g/km possible.

Toyota has stated that pre-sales of the new Yaris Cross GR Sport will commence in the UK during the third quarter of 2022, with deliveries arriving later.
