Say hello to the all-new 2023 Toyota GR Corolla

The all-new 2023 Toyota GR Corolla introduced on April 1st is one of the most impressive, dynamic, sporty, and capable Toyota vehicles ever built. Fine-tuned by Akio Toyoda himself, the new GR Corolla takes the rally heritage of Toyota Gazoo Racing and infuses it into the Toyota Corolla hatchback. The end result is a striking hot hatch with impressive performance that will take on any winding road with confidence.


300 horsepower and all-wheel drive

The new GR Corolla comes exclusively with a six-speed manual gearbox for the most direct and the purest driving experience possible.


The massive horsepower coming from the lightweight engine is sent to all four wheels through the Toyota rally GR Four all-wheel drive system. This impressive all-wheel drive technology gives the driver a high level of control over how the engines output is distributed to the wheels. Drivers can choose between a 60/40 split, a 50/50 split, or a 30/70 power distribution to the front and rear wheels.
