4.8 / 10 expert score

Overview

A thorough evolutionary update that refines the benchmark rally-bred hot hatch with extra power and a driver-centric cockpit.

Driving Experience

Relentless grip from the GR-FOUR system combined with an eager 3-cylinder turbo engine makes it extraordinarily fast across backroads and tracks.

Fuel Economy & Efficiency

Expect standard sports car consumption figures that scale directly with how aggressively the throttle is applied.

Pros

  • Thrilling 300-hp turbocharged 3-cylinder engine performance
  • Exceptional grip and agility from the GR-FOUR AWD system
  • Newly available direct-automatic transmission alongside manual
  • Significantly upgraded driver-centric digital dashboard

Cons

  • Limited rear passenger and cargo space due to compact dimensions
  • High demand can make allocations scarce

Verdict

The pinnacle hot hatch gets even better with more power, sharper track dynamics, and the option of a lightning-fast automatic gearbox.
