The Toyota GR Corolla is a high-performance, rally-inspired hot hatch introduced in 2023 as part of Toyota’s Gazoo Racing (GR) lineup. Built on the Corolla platform, the GR Corolla features a 1.6L turbocharged 3-cylinder engine (G16E-GTS), producing 300 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque. This powerful, compact engine is paired exclusively with a 6-speed manual transmission and an advanced GR-Four all-wheel-drive system, allowing drivers to adjust torque distribution between the front and rear axles (60:40, 50:50, or 30:70) to suit various driving conditions.
The GR Corolla’s design includes wider fenders, aggressive front and rear bumpers, functional hood vents, and a large rear spoiler, giving it a muscular and aerodynamic profile. It rides on performance-tuned suspension, offering exceptional handling and stability. To enhance stopping power, the car is equipped with ventilated brakes and four-piston calipers in the front.
Inside, the GR Corolla sports a driver-focused interior with supportive sport seats, a digital gauge cluster, and GR-specific styling elements. The infotainment system includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, keeping it modern and connected. With its high-output engine, advanced AWD system, and rally heritage, the GR Corolla has quickly gained attention as an enthusiast’s choice, offering a unique blend of power, control, and everyday usability in a compact hatchback.

YEAR NOTES
2023: Launched with a 1.6L turbocharged 3-cylinder engine producing 300 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque, paired exclusively with a 6-speed manual transmission. The GR-Four all-wheel-drive system allowed adjustable torque distribution. Three trims were available: Core, Circuit Edition, and the limited Morizo Edition.
2024: The Circuit Edition, initially a launch-year exclusive, continued production. A new Premium grade was introduced, offering additional features over the Core model. The Core grade now came standard with an open differential, with the option to upgrade to Torsen limited-slip differentials through the Performance package. No significant mechanical changes were made.
2025: An 8-speed automatic transmission option was introduced, expanding the GR Corolla's appeal. The engine's torque increased to 295 lb-ft. Suspension enhancements included front and rear rebound springs and optimized rear suspension geometry for improved stability. The Core grade now featured standard front and rear Torsen limited-slip differentials. The Premium Plus grade replaced the Circuit Edition, offering similar features.
