It’s time for a Toyota GR Yaris showdown! We’ve brought in the regular GR Yaris to take on a Litchfield-tuned GR Yaris.
We all know by now that the regular GR Yaris is powered by a 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine and that it’ll produce 261hp & 360Nm. However, the Litchfield edition has been fitted with a Piggyback ECU along with a special air filter, and as a result, it now produced 302hp & 390Nm!
So the tuned car seems like the clear favourite on paper, and when you consider it only cost £640 for the upgrade, we’re wondering whether a visit to Litchfield is the obvious choice for any GR Yaris owner?
There’s only one way to find out for sure – LET’S RACE!
Thanks to Litchfield for lending us their GR Yaris –

Hi Mat here: do you wish I'd stop going on about the GR Yaris. Or do you want more content on it?
The normal GR Yaris launch was a GODSEND
Not available in the US maybe cuz Toyota think it will not sell well?
Can we have someone else to drive the manuals
I’m still peeved that the US doesn’t get this car.
I enjoy these vids more when Mat loses.
Well the tuned one is 2018 whilst stock is 2020 suspicious
I love the idea. Sure a lot of people would appreciate you testing the big youtubers tuned cars against stock versions, to see if the extra money was really worth it. Be a few downsides to it but would be interesting
These videos are so much better with sound off… Though watching Mat's unfortunate gear changing does take away from the visual experience.
From what I've seen here the tune isn't worth the money and loss of warranty.
Why's it always raining in Victoria?
Nice these are great cars
So, £160 for every 1/10 of a second on a 1/4 mile. Is it worth it? Do you ever look at Dyno graphs to see the best time to shift?
why does the countdown man have a girl voice
Tuned GR Yaris vs Audi S3 Sportback please thanks
do that on DRY road…. useless now. that piggybag is prob 15 hp more ali junk
The long term bills will be a lot more than £600 when it blows up
AWESOME!
When 765LT???
0:20 don't forget the stickers Mat
Ridiculus tuning just for….loosing the validation of factory Garantee ! The performance seems only +10/12Hp but not even 1 horse more! Very bad effort and I' m suspecting to be fixed an extra chip case product like ''ChipTuning'' just connecting to the main c.b.u and giving pure tuning data
Conclusion…the car with the more power wins. Bit of a pointless video2 b honest
What's Toyota's reason for not bringing this to NA?
Mat Watson always raves about the cars a manufacturer lends him.
He is literally the worst reviewer about. Biased to say the least.
music lmfao I love the captions
How about Litchfield GR Yaris vs Civic type R…? Promising???
Lmao the sad thing is a kia stinger gt stock would beat it
Absolutely pocket rocket. Lovley #ToyotaGRYaris
Without this channel I would not know of a Yaris or a GR Yaris. I don’t make a lot of use with this knowledge though. With all the money in the world – this car wouldn’t be in my garage.
