Most likely current or 2021 new cars can be easily adapted to ’22 rules as the hybrid system is due to be compact and work complementary to the exisiting ICE (apparently placed on a box at the rear of driver’s seats). Besides, spaceframe chassis will be optional, not mandatory (probably used by manus with only SUV’s or crossovers on their range).
It worth to take a look on FIA hybrid system tender: https://legal.fia.com/web/appeloffre.nsf/F1AA7144B5082934C12584D500563B6B/$FILE/ITT%20WRC%20Hybrid%20System%202022-2024_Final%2019.12.2019.pdf?openelementRally addict since 1982

The important thing is that it finally looks like a rally car and not like a candy in aero dress.

It's interesting how the new car seemingly has less "extra" aero compared to the old one. I guess that's partly cause the base aero of the car is much better so there is less need for "extra" stuff to correct it. That actually seemed to be one of the main motivation for introducing the GR4. To have a more suitable "basecar".
The interesting points aero-wise:
- the extra "sidewings" on the front sides/wheelarches are gone, on the other hand the diveplanes look quite a lot bigger, so basically getting enough downforce at the very front in the first place instead of adding extra sidewings that are probably less effective.
- Rear sidepods with a "cut in" from the sides is something new, alltogether they look much more similar to the current I20 than to the current Yaris
- maybe this is only due to this being a preliminary design which they fit as a start but the diffuser looks like some attempt at a double-deck/blown diffuser combination with all the empty space between it and the exhaust and rest of the bumper
- the lower parts of the sides/doors look now exactly like the I20 and partly Fiesta with a continuous flat part from the front wheel all the way to the back instead of the current Toyota design which seems to get a lot of damage from gravel from the front wheels on rough gravel events

Keith Cronin just took a huge 18.2 sec out of both Devine & Edwards on SS4 ! Edwards says that's mental and Keith is a special talent.
