Toyota is offering a personalised upgrade program for GR Yaris owners in Japan -
, where amongst various changes to the powertrain and chassis calibrations, there’s also a slight bump in performance from its turbocharged three-cylinder engine.
Kinto is a separate entity within Toyota that covers a car sharing service, factory refurbishments and personalised upgrades for Toyota models. In this case, the personalisation program extends to both its powertrain and chassis electronics for GRs purchased through the Kinto system and privately owned cars. It’s only available in Japan for now, but could be rolled out to other markets as the Kinto program spreads into other markets.
To establish these personalised settings, Toyota will fit one of 27 different setups based either on a consultation, or from driving data obtained on a specialised driving course organised through a GR Garage. On GR Yaris’ purchased through the Kinto service, the torque upgrade will be free, but will cost around £850 for privately owned GRs at current conversion rates. The bespoke tuning consultation is then available for just over £50 or £92 for the closed course configuration.
