Toyota Motor Corporation and Kinto Co., Ltd. announced that GR Yaris owners in Japan can now “evolve” their vehicles through Kinto Factory.
Kinto Factory is a car upgrade service that “provides customization and function improvement services for your beloved car for car owners.”
Through Kinto Factory, Toyota’s Japanese customers who own a GR Yaris (purchased through authorized dealers), can enjoy update and personalization services that were previously only available for the Kinto-exclusive GR Yaris “Morizo Edition.”
According to the Japanese car brand, one of these is the torque-boosting Toyota GR Yaris Performance Software 2.0. The said update brings the maximum engine torque to 390Nm.
Toyota adds that customers who avail the service also get to enjoy personalized software settings for optimum performance.
In addition to the existing method of providing personalization based on analysis of customer driving data, Kinto Factory customers can now receive personalization through consultation at various GR Garage locations in Japan. This, said Toyota, makes it easy for customers to benefit from a tailored driving experience.
“Toyota and Kinto aim to make the cars they deliver to their customers become even more beloved by staying closely in tune with customer needs and evolving customers’ cars after delivery. The two companies will advance this effort through the new actions announced today, which will allow them to promptly provide customers with the knowledge and technology that Toyota has gained through its participation in motorsports,” Toyota said in a press release.
