Toyota — GR Corolla
The Toyota Corolla GR, introduced in 2023, is a high-performance variant of the venerable Corolla hatchback, aimed at driving enthusiasts. Breaking away from the Corolla's traditionally economical and practical image, the GR boasts a 300-horsepower turbocharged three-cylinder engine, all-wheel drive with selectable power distribution, and a sport-tuned suspension. This potent combination promises exhilarating performance on the road and track, while retaining the Corolla's renowned reliability and safety features. Available in three distinct trims – Core, Circuit Edition, and the limited-production Morizo Edition – the GR caters to a range of driving preferences and budgets, offering a compelling alternative to established hot hatches from European and domestic rivals.
