With a packed trophy cabinet of new car honours to its credit, Toyota’s GR Yaris has collected its first award for its appeal as a used car: the thoroughbred performance hatchback was named Used Performance Car of the Year at the Car Dealer Awards in London last night.
Announcing the win, awards host Mike Brewer said:“Previous winners of this award have been sleek coupes or big-power saloons, but this year’s choice proves incredible performance can come in a much smaller package. I absolutely love this car.”
James Baggott, Car Dealer Editor in Chief, added: “The GR Yaris is a truly special machine. Developed with direct input from the manufacturer’s World Rally Championship team, it’s a rare example of a modern homologation-style hot hatch – built not for mass appeal but for pure driving brilliance. That alone gives it a special something on the used market, but factor in Toyota’s reputation for building high quality cars and you have an ultra-desirable used performance car.”
The GR Yaris has regularly been a sell-out success for Toyota since its introduction in 2020. Throughout its lifetime, its essential performance and handling qualities have been honed for even greater driver engagement and rewards, most recently with the introduction of the new Aero Performance model. This benefits from a package of additional aerodynamic features, including a bonnet scoop, variable rear spoiler, lip spoiler, floor undercover and cooling ducts, plus a rally-style vertical handbrake.
Equipped with Toyota’s GR-FOUR all-wheel system and constructed on a bespoke platform, GR Yaris is powered by a turbocharged three-cylinder engine that delivers 276bhp and 390Nm of torque, matched to a six-speed manual sports transmission.

We offer a range of vehicle finance facilities through a panel of carefully selected third-party lenders. We do not provide customers with independent finance advice and will not offer facilities from lenders outside of this panel. RRG Group Limited is a broker for finance and not a lender. The lenders that we use are given first right of refusal. This is because these lenders will pay us a commission for introducing you to them. Commission may be calculated based on either a fixed amount relating to the vehicle you are purchasing, a percentage of the amount of finance you are borrowing, or a combination of both. We may also get paid an additional fixed commission if you are a returning customer. Different finance lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions. Such payments will not affect the amount you pay under any finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender. We will inform you of the amount of commission that we will earn in good time. We will require your consent for us to receive this commission. Our approach is to introduce you to a lender on our panel who will offer you the best package taking into account eligibility, product suitability, as well as interest rates and other factors. Our aim is to secure the best deal that you are eligible for. You do not have to take our finance as it is available through other distributors. You can arrange funding for your vehicle elsewhere and it may be cheaper. Finance is subject to status, terms and conditions.
