Roofline quite a bit lower too, which is good, because the regular 5 door Yaris looks like a giant pimple. Far too tall, narrow and bulbous. I like the 3 door GR Yaris body, the world needs more 3 door sporty hatchbacks. Sportier than a 5 door shopping cart, but still more practical than a coupe with a tiny boot opening. Sadly, 3 door hatches have all but disappeared as makers rationalise their production lines on the higher selling 5 doors.
I Japan they release a cheaper FWD version of the new GR 3 door with a regular Yaris engine and a CVT. Shame they don’t export that one, would make a nice, cheaper alternative to the regular 5 door Yaris for those not needing the hipo AWD rally version.
