Off the line, the GR Yaris hits 100 km/h in 5.55 s versus 6.73 s for the 4 Long Range RWD. Despite lacking instant torque, 272 hp of power compensates. At this point, the GR Yaris leads by 1.18 s and sits roughly 13 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the GR Yaris is doing 142 km/h against 129 km/h for the 4 Long Range RWD. The gap is 0.84 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the GR Yaris crosses the line in 13.58 s versus 14.92 s. The 1.34 s gap represents roughly 58 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the GR Yaris continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 198 km/h versus 176 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the GR Yaris finishes in 24.16 s versus 27.23 s, with a 3.07 s lead.
The GR Yaris features all-wheel drive (AWD) against the 4 Long Range RWD’s RWD. At low speeds (0-30, 0-50, 0-80 km/h), AWD doubles the driven contact area: all four wheels transmit torque to the road, virtually eliminating wheelspin at launch. This traction advantage is decisive in the range where the motor delivers peak torque, before power and aerodynamics take over.
Electronically capped at 180 km/h, the 4 Long Range RWD never reaches its natural aerodynamic ceiling in this duel. That’s not a physical limit of the motor - it’s a deliberate manufacturer decision, typically tied to standard-fit tyre ratings or model-range positioning.
Instant electric torque gives an advantage off the line. The higher top speed of the combustion engine gives an advantage over longer distances. The distance at which one catches the other depends on the top speed differential.
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 10.07 seconds. The 1.18 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, GR Yaris wins (5,55 s vs 6,73 s).
GR Yaris goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 5,55 seconds (calibrated simulation).
