More torques!

 

Tune and the “new” MT Tranny is most likely going to come from the Morizo. Which, if I’m not mistaken has different gearing and has some forged bits so slightly more robust.

 

Maybe I'm overlooking it, but where are you seeing that there is a new manual transmission?

Kind’ve reading between the lines on bullet point two of the second picture. “New Premium Grade (MT and AT). With the Morizo having 295tq like 25’ is going to have, safe to wager the transmission will match. But it’s all speculation!

 

The "Premium Grade" is just the trim level that will be offered with a MT and AT as seen in the first picture, not a statement that the transmissions are premium in some way. The torque bump just requires a slightly different tune with different peak boost levels at certain RPMs (this is how it was accomplished for the Morizo) and applies to both the Core and Premium trims according to the info above. I wouldn't read this to mean that the Morizo transmission will be part of the changes based on anything above. As you say though, we are all just speculating at this point.

 

HUD and dual climate control is nice.
So the premium is basically a CE, but not limited in numbers? Nothing on the larger infotainment screen?

 

At least for CAN, the 8” display is carried over from 22-24 for 25 based on the leak.

 

So if I am reading this correctly, the Premium MT is a rebranded circuit edition with the Morizo torque bump right? this might be good news for prospective GRC Owners...

 

Unless it's an oversight, no heated steering wheel on either Premium trim, but standard on the Core. Canadians won't be too happy about that.

 

Premium already came with the heated steering wheel they're just making it standard on core models.

 

Would be nice to see what colors will be available along with pricing points.

 

According to the Facebook source referenced, they are Heavy Metal, White, Black, Red. I read that Red is not available on Core, and it may be implied Heavy Metal is not on Core either.

 

So, uh, it'd be crazy to trade my '23 Core in for a '25 Core just for the heated steering wheel right?

 

yes. canadian 23 and 24 are prewired for heated steering. you might as well order the parts that are under $1k total than lose out on $5k to do a trade-in lol

 

Do you think that the revised bumper is going to be along the lines of how the GR Yaris' revised bumper looks or will the revision be minor?

 

Big question is if any of the 2025 changes can be retrofitted onto the 23/24 cars. I guess we'll need to wait and see.

 

I would happily take the 22ftlbs (Morizo tune?) without a voided warranty!

 

It will be sweet if Toyota can offer the torque bump for us 23/24 owners (depending if it's just an ECU remap).

There was a software update to increase torque (warrantied) offered for GR Yaris owners discussed in this thread:

But it was only available for Japan...

 

That would be nice!

Now on the otherhand, if the rumors about a potential AWD overheat fix is true, that needs to be addressed for all owners. It's kind of car breaking if tracked. By the end of the day 3 out of 4 of us were overheating 12-15 minutes into our sessions. The 4th left early so I didn't get to ask him

 

Try this next time you track it. I noticed that most people (including myself) when tracking this car tend to snap the throttle coming out of corners for faster acceleration but I think this is what is causing the AWD overheating. I played around with smoothly getting back on it as you unwind the wheel and I didnt get a single overheat issue all day (5 sessions, 20 mins each with 85F+ ambient temp) I honestly think shocking the coupler is what makes it freak out.

 

I definitely understand. An AWD fix is probably most requested, and if it exists on the '25 but can't be easily retrofitted or retrofitted at all, that would be a big shame. In this scenario, I can't imagine current owners will let it go quietly.

Early adopter jank lol.

 

Was mentioned in a different thread, but in the new GRY, "TRACK" mode is now variable from 60:40 - 30:70. Rumor is that this is how Toyota is addressing the overheating issue. Dont know how much of that is true or not, but is interesting. CPU varies the TQ split based on driving style and track scenarios. So maybe in straightaways, it switches to 60:40 and during hard cornering it varies between 50:50 and 30:70.
Im wondering if they also addressed additional cooling to the tcase and rear as well.
I read an article about how they used the concept of "develop, race, break, fix..." to address any weaknesses from the previous GRY. So in theory, they would have had to address the overheating issue. Would be nice to see if they addressed the premature failure of the clutch hubs as well.

 

they must be aware of it. '24 japanese RZ model now has a rear diff temp gauge.

[edit]: as i found out later in this thread, it's a transmission temp gauge! never mind!

Well will you look at that! 🤔

 

Kinda a little jelly about the new features, torque bump, HUD and the sub radiator are very interesting, but that's to be expected with any refresh. Hopefully a lot of this stuff can be retrofitted! Not too worried about the torque but would be nice to have that bump with warranty.

 

Wait... no IT IS for the Auto Trans, notice that in the middle there is a "P" where the gear number should be!

Apparently you did not read far enough into this thread before replying. It would appear that it's an automatic transmission temperature gauge, not a rear diff temperature gauge.

After a lot of digging in the Japanese owner's manual , this is for the mid-2024 (would be a 25 production if from North America) GR Yaris.

It is auto trans specific.
