Walkthrough Review
The cockpit design of the GR Corolla has been developed with input from professional rally drivers, making the car's performance easily accessible to the driver. With a shift lever that allows for short shift strokes and a pull-type mechanical parking brake, the driver has maximum control over the car. Furthermore, the cockpit is equipped with a brightly lit display and interior trim details around the console and door handles, making it aesthetically pleasing and functional. The valuable input of rally drivers influences the 12.3" Multi-Information Display of the GR Corolla. With this advanced display, you can easily keep track of important information such as gear shift position, tachometer, turbo pressure, and the GR meter with AWD mode without having to take your eyes off the road ahead, no matter the driving conditions. Upon entering the GR Corolla, the standard heated sports seats will immediately provide you with a comforting embrace. The driver's seat is 6-way adjustable, while the front passenger seat is 4-way adjustable. In the Core Edition, these seats are finished with GR Sports Fabric, while the Circuit Edition comes with an upgrade to GR Sport Suede.
With its distinctive design elements, the GR Corolla adds a touch of individuality to everyone's preferred features. Your eyes are immediately drawn to the black GR badged matrix grill at the front, which leads your gaze over the distinctively shaped hood and tapered roof towards the back of the car. The rear wings' wide track and flaring accentuate the car's low, poised profile, giving it an air of readiness to pounce. To achieve improved aerodynamics, the GR Corolla Circuit Edition incorporates various features such as carefully placed hood and fender vents and a featherweight carbon fibre roof. Both the Core and Circuit Editions are secured by 18" glossy black 15-spoke alloy wheels. At the same time, the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires with a wide tread provide exceptional cornering ability while maintaining remarkable high-speed stability.
The GR Corolla is equipped with a compact yet potent G16E-GTS turbocharged engine that utilizes both direct and port injection to generate 300 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque, enabling quick acceleration out of corners. In keeping with its rally racing heritage, this vehicle is available with a 6-speed manual transmission featuring a short-throw lever for swift gear changes. The GR-FOUR All Wheel Drive system, initially designed for rally racing, provides outstanding traction and control. This lightweight powertrain offers the flexibility to adjust the drive power to each wheel with a simple dial turn. As for the suspension, the front features a MacPherson-type strut design that efficiently transfers the engine's power to the road and ensures optimal cornering. Meanwhile, the rear suspension employs a double-wishbone multilink system that enhances agility and stability to the maximum extent.
