How’s this for a hot hatch drag race line-up! Mat’s sat in the carwow Car of the Year 2021, the Toyota GR Yaris, and it’s going up against the MINI GP!
First up we have the GR Yaris, which is powered by a 1.6-litre 3 cylinder turbo engine to deliver 261hp 360Nm. As for the MINI GP? Well, it’s up on power, with a 2-litre 4 cylinder engine providing 306hp and 450Nm of torque!
However, power isn’t everything! The track’s pretty wet, and while the MINI is only front-wheel-drive, the GR Yaris is all-wheel-drive! Will that be enough to push Mat through to victory? Or will the manual gearbox in the Toyota ultimately lose out to the automatic MINI?
There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

Hi Mat Watson here 👋. Which would you have out of these two cars. Let me know by replying to me here. BTW... make sure you are following carwow on Instagram for behind the scenes stuffage: instagram.com/carwow/
@Ryan Wilson Mini is for sassy people, Yaris GR is for tough guys
Good comparison, but if we track them all day long from 7 to 7 in one day, I doubt Mini can past lunch time without breakdown
Stop cheating braketests
Yaris obviously
the mini GP with a manual gearbox, or the Yaris with 100 more hp :D
When comparing two vehicles, we take as a reference two vehicles with the same displacement, power and above all both automatic or manual gearboxes.
50 mil drag race Yaris --33 minutes Mini -- 2days(breakdown and repair) ad 31 minutes
can you do a r32 gtr drag race
hrworld.info/home/video/ebOShbmGr29gp5k.html
One is front wheel drive automatic, the other awd 6 speed. VERY DIFFICULT CHOICE!
MINI sounded the best, c’mon.
I only on clicked this video to see how they can make a drag race about 2 cars that reach 0 to 60 ... eventually, interesting. It wassn't.
Do a tuned Audi S1
Brings a whole new meaning to firing on all '3' cylinders!
The Yaris was a bit early on the start
Lesson to buying Toyota : don't believe anything comes with 'GR' badges 😂😂
Very strange, looks like the yaris has a huge torque dip or this video is fake
4 cyl better power than 3 cyl 😂 so?
Mat the granny shifter
comparing apples & pears a2.0 l 4cyl against 1.6 l 3 cyl that yaris is doing very well.
Did you think a lighter, more powerful and automatic Mini was gonna lose to the GR just because the GR has better aerodynamics, lol? It would be interesting to compare them around a racetrack, but in a straight, seriously?
I'd like to give you a "kick me in the head" baseball cap, where could I send to? cheers.
Are you assuming I can't buy a Koenigsegg Gemera?! I guess you're absolutely right
Very impressive for a 3cylinder GR yaris
You need to incorporate handling into these battles
Love the drag races Mat. Maybe it's time to do a hot lap for each as well. Especially for something like the Mini GP vs the GR Yaris, I think the Yaris would paste the Mini.
Por qué tantos dislikes?
The Mini is a proper weapon and sounds great inside, i've already had the privilege to test one. Don't know about the Yaris, but seems pretty good also.
3:30, you're welcome.
FYI, the GP should have launch control, my S does have it ;)
1.6 3 pot vs 2L 4pot. 4wd vs 2wd. It’s not really a great match up is it. Already ~40bhp between them on paper. Wait a few months until some proper remaps have been developed & see how the Toyota gets on running similar power to the Mini...
Would still pick the Yaris just because manual and AWD. Those 2 are a great combination
Finally real world cars for the UK roads and weather
Ugly cars though lOL
Can you include 0-60 times to kind of have an idea of time off the line?
I love minis, have a classic. But think I'd choose the toyota. At least it probably won't be a money pit like the minis!
Give a like to see an 2021 audi s5 sportback vs 2021 bmw m340i vs 2021 Mercedes c43 amg
Was wet, Yaris had AWD and far better tyres but still got 💨
5:58
wow that is sad for the so expensive new Yaris
@Hyro Proto exactly. That's what I was implying, underpowered & heavier, for about the same price, mini gp is also expensive. I expected from the Yaris to a least have the same performances
no.. Its underpowered & heavier tan the mini
Commenting on every carwow drag race video until Mat accepts my challenge to have me on the channel and drag race my E46 325ci drag car project. Comment number 40
Toyota should be more fun... If you are ready to completely trash it on wet dirt road. Talking about weight 1300kg is not really light car. 260 HP not really all over the place for that weight. It's small but all crash test regulations and exhaust filters completely removed all fun from cars. Exhaust from pistons gets thru double blade turbo than huge mesh filter than pre catalyst than catalyst than they try to make noise in rear cooling exhaust muffler... Good luck with that. Only SHSHHSHSHS sound is left. Chassis have front collision at 64 kmh, offset collision, side collision, rear collision, 3 stage airbag( steering wheel looks like they installed one but from Kim Kardashian in the middle). Roof is so thick that car top heavy. Glass is thick. Fun nimble road legal cars are history.
Smashed him even though he jumped the start - what a loser!
What a horsepower!
Next one a3 bs bmw 1series
MAT WATSON saying all Japanese car everything fake, do u even know hownto drive manual? Uncle roger gonna say u weak. Small engine good for short distance race dude. U sound like 12yrs old.
3:33 if you want to see the actual stuff.
You are so professionell, but the Sound ist very bad... Not enouth mony in the house, for better Equipment? 😉
That Mini fucks off properly....
3:58 Those sounds Mathew.... Did you have a trouser accident...?
The mini sounds legit
Do a drift test...
Automatic vs manual .. no chance
@weedlife49 300 on wet surfaces, tyres and awd are a huge advantage. No use having extra power if you can't utilise it properly
@FactsFather lol simply more advantage for the mini its normal the Yaris have better tyres and awd if you Want.. but the mini have less weight more power and its an automatic vs manual
Yaris had better tyres and AWD
Yaris vs audi s1 from 2018 pleas!
They pay Carwow an lot of money to lose the test. The moment they start the test he shift the gear.normally it stand in the right gear already???????? Let real Testdrivers do the same test and you will be shocked at the result.
All those minis sold out months ago
Lol you have no clue what you’re saying
Please drag race the opel astra k opc
I think this shows how good automatic transmissions have gotten
No it shows which car is faster. It was wet and the Yaris had AWD, plus better tyres.
It didn't really pick up any better did it - there's delay in the signal being given by one car and received in the other. Guaranteed if it was the other way around, the Mini would jump six inches first before mullering the Yaris.
That Yaris just looks like the most fun car to drive
Anyone else remember the Mazda 323 GTX? Twas the GR Yaris of ye olden days.
Toyota begins to wobble, with CH-R parts failure. Factory defective parts in the TOYOTA CH-R, when the Extracare + 1 contemplates it, and then wants you to pay for it. BOOK SCAM.
The GR is still impressive. Great little car.
that mini won sound check
Can you put the speedometer on the screen so we can see the speed of how fast you go /the car
I don't care if it's slower, I want that GR Yaris because 6 speed MT!!!!!!!
Mini is the best
Yeah, when you do a drag race between a manual and an auto, a very good driver should sit on the manual and you in the auto, if not then you blame the car for that and it just isn't right for the GR Yaris or any other car you drive...

How about a VW Scirocco 2.0TDI?
wow only 33500 pounds in denmark it costes 67763 pounds with the circult pack because of taxes dang uk is cheap
hrworld.info/home/video/aLamqdmAhY5le74.html
I've had a GP1 and GP2. Loved them. Out of these two? I'd have the Yaris all day, every day.
Chavrolet camero vs MUSTAG
NOOOOOO MONICAAAAAA!!!
Thanks for the video. Dunno what tyres were on the Mini GP but still assuming: The Yaris winning the braketest mainly thanks to the Michelin PS4S imho. Cheers Robin
Nice jump start by Mat in the drag race there.
A lighter car with less weight should be faster overall. However, in Australia the mini would cost around $80,000 new and we are told that the Yaris will have a starting price of just under $40,000. I will take the yaris over a pretend mini thanks.
La mayoría de las pruebas de aceleración que hacen son muy dudosas por las condiciones climatológicas que hay en su país, porqué los autos a la hora de acelerar pierden mucho tiempo porqué patinan demasiado que trae como consecuencia que los tiempos de aceleración se vean afectados asi como los resultados de las demás pruebas de aceleración y frenado; como sugerencia deberian de hacer todas sus pruebas en condiciones más estables y sobre todo en seco
Next time, run this modified GP against the modified GR - GP running 320 in this vid vs the GR 260. GP at 320 and GR at 320 will be a fair test, and one which we can all call the winner 😎 (spoiler alert - it wont be the BMW)
Proper little car that..
That Toyota will be lucky to survive 50K miles without needing an engine rebuild.
I still prefer the Mini, Toyota is the Pakistani dream car.. good for uber only
Please review Ssangyong. I beg you.
Mini in Eco/Normal mode for everything. No pops or speed without being in Sport/GP mode.
GR for me. Manual gearbox, 4wd... all it needs now is another cylinder 😂
Well IMHO try any mountain path and the GR shall not even see the mini head light. Yep mini no even gonna smell the GR sweet exhaust.
Seems the Yaris isn’t all that , be interested to see how it fairs against the mini round a track , maybe something you could look into instead of just drag racing . How a car handles round a track us more important than a drag race
hrworld.info/home/video/oNhdf89saWaqo6o.html
Still yaris for me. Would slaughter mini round twistys'
Yaris is faster around the streets though with that take off, would be fun
4wd vs 2wd?😂
if it cost more than a WRX then its not worth buying.
Shows the difference between awesome auto and mediocre manual
1:23 MINI
Mat Watson reminds me of ken miles
1:23
1:90
yaris what a useless car
Atleast its a perfect rally car
Meanwhile the 2004 Dodge Neon SRT4 had 2.4 ,4 cyl turbo, with 230 Hp and 5 gear manual. It weighted 1300kg and could do 0-60 mph in 5,3 sec. And all of this only via FWD. Now that is something even today when u compare it to totally new GR yaris with more power, 4WD...
Can we get a track race next
4 cylinder beats 3 any day 👍
Matt, you shift like a lady
Mini ! Mini !
Probably the only video that made me immediately head over to the local Toyota website to find out it costs £30k for the basic model and £33.5k for the circuit pack........ Damn that's a hard price to justify. And I used to have a Lupo GTi which this feels a like a decent modern successor.
Toyota should stick in building ordinary practical cars .. they suck big time in sport cars
F*ck Toyota
