When you first lay your eyes on the 2024 Toyota GR Corolla, it soon becomes apparent that the vehicle is much more than an economical daily driver.

Introducing the High-Performance 2024 Toyota GR Corolla
Power and Transmission
Whether you go with the Core, Premium, or Circuit Edition trim, the GR Corolla will be powered by a 1.6L turbocharged inline-3 engine putting out 300 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. When you combine that impressive performance with the vehicle’s low curb weight of under 3,300 pounds, sub-five-second 0-to-60 times are easily possible.
An ultra-smooth 6-speed manual transmission with extremely short shifts and rev-matching is sure to make drivers giddy as they move through each gear. Power is delivered to all four wheels, resulting in enhanced grip on slippery roads. The GR Corolla’s admirable EPA-rated fuel economy of up to 28 MPG highway means that you can push the car without worrying about spending too much at the pump.

This setup maintains a comfortable ride while sharpening response for a truly sporty driving experience. Not only does the suspension feature extra tuning, but the steering has been refined by GR, as well.
Providing incredible stopping power are the GR Corolla’s 4-piston disc brakes and 14-inch ventilated and slotted rotors. Premium and Circuit Edition models get their calipers painted in red and marked with the GR logo.
Passenger Cabin
Much like the standard Corolla, the GR Corolla has a practical interior with substantial seating for five people. However, it’s got lots of stylish, racy touches to remind you that it’s a serious track car. These include aluminum sport pedals, GR-emblazoned front sport seats with extra bolstering, and a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel that shows turbo pressure and the current selected gear.
Premium comforts like heating for the steering wheel and front seats and a wireless charging station come standard on the Premium and Circuit Edition.
