GR Yaris (Gen 2) GR Yaris Mk2 (MY2024->)

I've been offline here for a while after I had to cancel my order for a gen2 last year. But here I am again, back in the game to get a new or now used one. 😇

I've been in contact with my dealer in Sweden about the 2026 model year. I could order a new one next week, system in Sweden will be open for orders in week 42. I'm not interested in the aero package, not my cup of tea. Regular ones do remain available for ordering too, at least in Sweden. Unclear if there are any limited numbers.

Got some interesting technical information today about the changes to the engine/drivetrain due to the new EU emission standard. See below some translated information:

Technical changes from October production:
  • Adaptation to Euro6e-bis regulations
  • Horsepower: no change
  • Max torque: from 390 Nm to 345 Nm (−45 Nm)
  • Automatic transmission (AT) removed (does not meet Euro6e-bis)
This downgrade in torque seems quite significant to me. Reading more about the stricter Euro6e-bis standard and what manufacturers have to do in general to drivetrains to meet this new standard, honestly does not make me very keen on ordering a new 2026 GR Yaris. The drivetrain will, simply said, be 'pinched' compared to the previous model year. Which was already 'pinched' anyway compared to the non EU spec engines. It just does not feel right to me ordering a new one when not knowing how this new drivetrain feels like compared to the current version.

I find it a tough choice now deciding on going for a new GR Yaris. On the one hand I feel very lucky being in a position that I could, knowing not all markets/countries get proper new production slots. And it's nice to get one fresh out of the box. But on the other hand, there are quite a few very low mile (less than 1000km) dealer demo's available here in Sweden that will save me easily 75.000-80.000SEK (7-7,5k EUR) compared to a new one. I don't particularly like the idea of getting a dealer demo, knowing these are potentially not exactly treated well. However, in Sweden GR dealer demo models can only be driven under supervision (lame...) and any issues will be covered under warranty anyway, so I think having this dislike on buying a dealer demo is just me being silly.... I think I'll give it a few more sleepless nights. ;)

A dealer demo should be fine. These cars are bullet proof. For the 2026, a tune and exhaust should overcome the loss of torque, which, I imagine will present as a massive mid range torque dip since max HP is unchanged. Will be interesting to see if they left the gear ratios unchanged. Can always tune it out if you don't need the warranty, which, seems like these cars don't really need.

Anyone got parts diagrams (with full part numbers) for the gen 2? I see full diagrams for gen 1 on yoshiparts.com, but the gen 2 isn't up yet.

So now we know 😂 none of the parts can be installed without modifications😢 even the front lip needs to be drilled on the bumper .
I think I Will go for the bottom parts and that's It, front lip, fuel tank covers and that's all. The wing needs to much "work" to get fit that's insane

Surely the vented bonnet is a straight swap? I was eyeing this up.

The hood itself as far as i remember was 2 times cheaper than the vented mesh insert in the middle if i am not mistaken, i know i LOL'ed .

Just so that i am not talking outta my ass:
Here are the receipts:

Top is Hood price, Bottom is BULGE (mesh insert) price, off course that is without dealer percentage off, but still, laughable :rolleyes:
For example hood would be 405 eur for myself, and insert would be 1065 eur

OH ! Seal under the mesh insert is another 220 eur

Since you have access to the real part numbers can you give us the real numbers for the bottom front spoiler?
