Toyota GR Yaris: If you are the owner of the pre-facelift hot hatch Toyota GR Yaris, then there is good news for you. Toyota is bringing a special software update for this popular hatchback in the UK, which will be made available for just £995 (approximately up to ₹1 lakh in Indian currency). This update will be very useful.
What update will you get?
The main attraction of this update is the increase in torque. The torque of the Yaris will be increased from 266 lb-ft to 280 lb-ft directly through ECU remapping. Notably, Toyota has clarified that this software update will not have any impact on the car’s warranty or emission standards. This update will be installed by authorized technicians at local dealerships.
The new update will provide a better driving experience while driving the vehicle. The GR-Four 4WD system can now vary the power distribution front-to-rear to 55:45, 45:55 or 50:50. This will allow the car to be handled more effectively in different situations.
In addition, two new modes have been added for the power steering – ‘Light’ and ‘Heavy’. There are also three options for throttle response – ‘Original’, ‘Quick’ and ‘Control’. All these options make the driving experience more dynamic.
Will the new update be available in India?
This update is currently only available for GR Yaris owners in the UK. However, the possibility of such upgrades coming to India cannot be ruled out. This update is part of Toyota’s “Improvements based on owner feedback” policy.
For GR Yaris fans, this update is an opportunity to make their hot hatch even more active. This update could be beneficial for enthusiast drivers looking to get more fun at a lower cost. Now, everyone will be watching to see when it will be available in India.
