Toyota Reveals Yaris Facelift and 210+HP Hot Hatch

Announces it will debut at the Geneva motor show

Get ready subcompact hot hatches because a new contender is about to step up to the table: a Toyota Yaris with over 210 horsepower and World Rally Car styling cues. We’re not making this up and we even have two official photos of it.

According to Toyota, this hot Yaris is tasked with “forging a link between the Yaris WRC and the standard road-going model range.”

It will debut at the Geneva motor show (running March 9 – 19) alongside the regular Yaris facelift. The refresh slightly tweaks the subcompact’s front and rear end fascias, with a new grille and headlights up front, as well as new-design larger rear lights and bumper.
