3 Groundbreaking Features of the 2024 Toyota GR Corolla

People are drawn to different cars for different reasons. If your current desire is a charisma-oozing hot hatch, you will be hard-pressed to find a more appealing option than the 2024 Toyota GR Corolla. Simply put, this rally-car-inspired hatchback is built different to the point it comes with a complimentary National Auto Sport Association (NASA) membership to provide you with access to high-performance driving events and racing schools to ensure you’re well-prepared to handle the GR Corolla’s finely-tuned engineering and race-bred capabilities.

Sporty and Functional Exterior

The GR Corolla is not a sleeper; it lets everyone know what it’s all about from the onset with its malicious-looking bulging and vented hood with a matrix grille with side ducts for optimal airflow, an optional lightweight forged carbon-fiber roof that works to keep the vehicle’s center of gravity down for improved aerodynamics, a wide and aggressive low stance to ensure maximum stability, and ominous side fender vents that work together with the rear diffuser and rear bumper ducts to increase downforce.

The triple exhaust system not only helps the GR Corolla look the part but also reduces exhaust back pressure while providing you with a satisfying rumbling growl.

Feisty Power and Performance 

The GR Corolla boasts a fiery 1.6-liter turbocharged 3-cylinder that puts out 300 HP to allow it a 0 to 60 time of 4 seconds! Powerful acceleration aside, the GR Corolla is in its own league when it comes to driving dynamics. Featuring the exclusive GR-Four All-Wheel-Drive system, the GR Corolla allows you to select your ideal power distribution mode from these options: a 60:40 front-to-rear split for daily driving, a 50:50 split for maximum traction, and a 30:70 split for drifting.

What’s more, it also comes with available front and rear Torsen limited-slip differentials for a tenacious grip, a circuit-tuned suspension featuring a front MacPherson strut suspension and a rear double-wishbone multi-link system with sport-tuned coil springs and shock absorbers for next-level dynamic stability when cornering, and slotted, ventilated high-performance brakes. Couple all that with an engaging six-speed manual transmission, and you have a thoroughly involving, fun-to-drive hot hatch.

Upscale Interior

The GR Corolla’s cabin comes with everything you need to be comfortable so you can enjoy the ride. It can also get incredibly luxurious, too, with the available soft-touch leather upholstery, heated front seats, heated and leather-wrapped steering wheel, wireless charging, and the 8-speaker JBL premium sound system. For your infotainment, you get an 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, voice command, as well as available navigation.

It also features a plethora of driver-assist technologies to help reduce fatigue and keep you safe, including adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keeping assist, collision-avoidance with pedestrian detection, road sign assist, and automatic high beams.
