It looks to be only on the Premium and GR Sport.
As the months go by with my Icon I am more impressed with the performance, lovely ride on my 16" wheels and all round usability. A review of the 130 the driver said he didn't notice the extra power till he pushed on at higher speeds. Another said he liked the GR sport trim but wishes he could change the hard ride to the 16" wheels for comfort. It is strange how different people see those "extras" you get for the extra money.
I can't see me upgrading to the 130 just for those extra Hp as it seems to be a lot of cash for a few extra horses.
I don't think this car is about performance alone. I like its comfort and practicality.
New 130hp - anyone considering it?

I don’t think the few extra bhp are really worth the extra money to change vehicles.
These cars are about getting around at a respectable cost along with having some green credentials.
If Toyota ever decide to make the electric side of the cars more powerful along with a more tweaked petrol motor then maybe and just maybe I could be tempted to look.
Until that happens I will stick with what I know

You get such a load of other features that are not on the other trims, the 130bhp is almost just a bonus.
At goodwood a few weeks ago a Toyota representative told me that a GR Yaris Cross is well under way.
Lexus are bringing out the LBX Morizo (see on youtube) which is based on the Yaris Cross with the GR Yaris engine and other parts. It is 300hp and set up as a propper sports SUV.
The GR Yaris cross will be Toyotas version.
I have the GR Yaris and is a lovely car to drive so if Toyota bring out a GR YC then that will be a nice compromise between the GRY and the current Yaris Cross.
Fingers crossed it does come out in a year or two at a decent price.
