Not tout Toyota, this three-cylinder "Corolla" is really strong, even if it is set at 400,000
If you are a young person who wants to pursue a sports performance experience, you may not have any interest in Toyota in the domestic market, and the domestic main models such as the Toyota Corolla or Camry are completely unrelated to performance, even toyota's high-end brand Lexus main products, often much slower than other luxury models of the same level. Is Toyota just a pure means of transportation? In fact, Toyota is also constantly launching highly playable products in overseas markets, such as the recently released new GR Corolla.
The name directly inherits the Corolla is indeed correct, but do not think that this car is the ordinary Corolla, GR Sports Division has always been a boutique, the model will be the first to land in the US market, and the follow-up may also be introduced into domestic sales like GR Yaris.
First look at the exterior design of this car, the overall styling style inherits the hatchback version of the Corolla, which belongs to the standard small steel cannon body. The front face of the car is obviously much more aggressive than that of the ordinary Corolla, and it is equipped with a large honeycomb-like intake heat dissipation net, and the area of the loose water tank provided inside is also much larger. On both sides are small fangs LED lights, the side of the original supply of forged alloy wheels and Michelin track tires, the rear of the car with the addition of a mid-range exhaust pipe, and there is an exaggerated carbon fiber tail.
The interior of the car is also not the same as the domestic Corolla model, although the center console is not high-end, but at least provides a larger area of LCD instruments and hovering navigation screens. The ball-shaped manual lever is paired with a very traditional mechanical handbrake, which is obviously intended for handling, and the two independent racing seats in the front row are covered in flared fur. The rear row does not remove the seats like a professional modified racing car, but retains a practical rear space, which can take into account the daily household.
From the cool appearance and interior can already feel the sports atmosphere, the core selling point is of course the power system, this time directly equipped with Toyota GR Sports Division dedicated 1.6T engine, it seems that the displacement is not small, but this engine is a relatively unpopular three-cylinder engine. When you see this, are you ready to turn your head and leave? Don't underestimate Toyota's 1.6T three-cylinder engine, which has a maximum output of up to 300 horsepower and a peak torque of 370 Nm, which is higher than the upper limit of most 2.0T engines.
What is more exaggerated is that this car chassis provides a dedicated Toyota GR intelligent 4-wheel drive system, including a front and rear limited slip differential, which is completely for high-speed control, so it is destined that this GR Corolla is not an ordinary means of transportation, but a large toy created for performance car enthusiasts, and it is completely possible to go directly to the track in such a state, and the playability is destined to be very high.
So in summary, it is not tout Toyota, but because this three-cylinder version of the performance Corolla is really strong enough, even if the price of 400,000 to introduce sales in the Chinese market, it is also worth it, and the attraction is not lost to the previously hot Toyota GR Yaris.
