\nGR promises all Aero components are functional. But not subtle.<\/p>\n

For an extra $4000 over the standard GR Yaris<\/a> price ($61,990 manual, $64,990 automatic) the Aero Performance Package comprises six functional aerodynamic components including variable rear spoiler, fender ducts, front lip spoiler, rear bumper ducts, full\u2011floor undercover and hood bulge.<\/p>\n

GR says these have been developed to “enhance airflow, stability and overall control”. A new performance-oriented steering wheel has also been introduced across all models.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Toyota NZ chief strategic officer Andrew Davis says the package has been developed around the brand\u2019s belief that performance should be felt, not just measured.<\/p>\n

\u201cGR has always been about how a car performs and how it makes you feel when you\u2019re behind the wheel. Every element of this package exists for a reason, shaped by performance on the track and refined through real driver feedback.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"First official NZ option package for GR Yaris.
