We saw many new battery-powered cars and outrageous hypercars, but nothing quite matched the attainability and appeal of Toyota's Yaris GR.

In a world where performance cars have become too heavy and artificial in their responses, Toyota has given keen drivers what they truly desire. The formula is delightfully simple: lots of trick components and more power applied to a compact hatchback platform.
