Toyota GR YARiS, known as a small steel gun, how capable is it?

Recently, a Toyota overseas model was launched at the Shanghai International Import Expo. It is the Toyota GR YARiS. The car quickly attracted the attention of many car enthusiasts as soon as it was unveiled. Just looking at its appearance, I You can feel its strong power.

It also has a nickname, which is the nickname "Overseas Small Steel Cannon". I have to say that the origin of this name is still in line with its own characteristics. Don’t believe it, let’s talk directly about the data. First, let’s take a look at its body length*width*height data: 3995mm*1805mm*1455mm. Isn’t it very petite? Next, let’s take a look at its power. The 1.6T turbocharger has a maximum power of 272 horsepower and a maximum torque of 370N·m. Its acceleration from 100 kilometers to 100 kilometers is less than 5.5 seconds. It has a small body and strong power. It is truly a super powerful small motor.

But this is nothing. What is even more surprising is that it actually uses a three-cylinder engine. The 1.6T turbocharged three-cylinder engine can achieve such strong power, which makes I have to admire Toyota's strong car-making capabilities. This small steel cannon is comparable to the power of a sports car, and I can't help but want to compare it with Toyota's upcoming SUPRA sports car. SUPRA? 2021 GR? SUPRA? 2.0T standard model, 2.0T turbocharged, with a maximum horsepower of 197 horsepower and a maximum power of 145kw, a maximum torque of 320N·m, and a speed of 6.5 seconds from 0 to 100 kilometers, and it is also a four-cylinder engine.

Through the comparison of the two cars, it is not difficult to find that the Toyota GR YARiS is slightly better in terms of power. Oh, by the way, not only that, the Toyota GR YARiS is also a full-time four-wheel drive performance car. From here we can see that it also shines in terms of maneuverability and playability.

After talking about the internal power, let’s take a look at its appearance.

A pair of bright headlights, the connected lines of the two lights point directly to the Toyota logo. If you look closely, the two headlights are like the two eyes of a cheetah, and the logo is like It is the nose of a cheetah, and the grille is like the grinning mouth of a cheetah. Considering the three-dimensional and vivid appearance design effect of Toyota GR YARiS, it is not an exaggeration to give it a high score of 10. Speaking of which, I had to secretly write a rhyming slogan for it - the menacing little cheetah can be called a small steel cannon overseas.

Let’s look at the rear of the car. The bulging parts on the left and right sides really look like the strong muscles of a cheetah’s hind legs, ready to go.

In addition, its high-end configuration is also equipped with a carbon fiber roof. Let me mention carbon fiber by the way. Carbon fiber has the advantages of light weight and high strength, which means that it can not only lighten the body weight, and it can also improve the performance of the entire vehicle.

Everyone’s attention followed me to the wheels. They use Michelin PILOT SPORT 4 S high-performance tires, and paired with these extremely aggressive rims, they always show that they are extremely powerful. It has a sporty stance, and when it comes to braking, its front and rear braking systems use GR four-piston calipers and GR two-piston calipers respectively, and both are equipped with ventilated marking discs.

After talking about the appearance, let’s go to the interior. Its all-black interior color, coupled with leather sports steering wheel, automatic heating of front seats, manual shift lever, JBL audio, and metal pedals Wait, these luxurious interiors instantly highlight its excellent sports effects.

Summary: The overall performance of Toyota GR YARiS is really endearing. Its sporty appearance and interior, coupled with its outstanding power, make it a solid car. The power of the small steel cannon, and the four-wheel drive system "GR-FOUR" it is equipped with, also increase the playability of the vehicle. However, it is a pity that we don't know when this overseas small steel cannon will be introduced. Domestically, I believe this is what everyone is most looking forward to, right?
