Review: 2025 Toyota GR Yaris 8AT

You could say that the Toyota GR Yaris is a personal forbidden fruit. Just as I was supposed to sample one in 2021, one nasty accident meant Toyota Motor Philippines pulled the entire GR press fleet out of rotation. That was four years ago. Now that some select hacks have earned Toyota’s trust, I opted to try the updated GR Yaris for myself, and boy, was the wait worth it.

Have you been in a ladder-frame SUV and a unibody crossover afterwards? Try it out on the same roads and you’ll feel the big difference in ride comfort. This is why for a long time, I’ve been envious of markets that have the Honda Ridgeline, and now there’s also the Ford Maverick and Hyundai Santa Cruz. These are unibody pickups that have crossover-like ride comfort – at least from the reviews I’ve seen abroad.

I’ll spare you from any tito references this time around and just say that for all that it is, the Jetour T2 is indeed a good SUV. However, one can’t deny it’s not for everybody. Sure, it’s pricey but aside from that, it’s also too obvious. The very macho silhouette, over-emphasized flares, and the Jetour badge at the grille isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. This is where the Jetour T1 comes in.
