In the stereotype of many people, the Corolla is a very family daily scooter, but if I tell you that there is such a Corolla, the maximum horsepower of 300Ps, and there is a four-wheel drive system, you will not be surprised, you don't rush to spray me, Toyota really built a 300-horsepower Corolla, this Corolla is Toyota's GR Sports Department to create - GR Corolla.
At present, GR Corolla has officially released the official map overseas, and the new car will launch two versions, core version and Circuit Edition version, of which core version is expected to enter the North American market at the end of 2022, and Circuit Edition version will be launched in 2023.
As a pure "small steel cannon", gr corolla and corolla are two completely different cars, in terms of design, GR corolla continues gr traditional family style, such as exaggerated wide-body design. In the front part of the face, GR Corolla uses a very large intake grille, and the interior uses a black honeycomb structure, which can be felt at a glance to be strongly aggressive. The most eye-catching thing on the side of the body is its extremely exaggerated wide-body design, and there is also the gr's exclusive logo on the right side of the body, showing its exclusive identity.
The rear part of the car is the most aggressive part of the GR Corolla, the sharp C-shaped taillights show a good sense of fashion, and the unique left, middle and right exhaust is breathtaking, coupled with the exaggerated lower diffuser, everywhere highlights the strong JDM style.
In the interior part, gr corolla design is also designed to highlight the sense of sport, the overall interior style is more stylish, compared to the ordinary version of corolla, GR version of the model is more classy. And the ubiquitous fur, metal pedals, gr's unique steering wheel, etc. all show its explosive sense of sport.
In terms of performance, the new car is still equipped with Toyota's 1.6T three-cylinder engine, but its power has been raised again, reaching a staggering 300Ps, and the peak torque has reached 370N·m, which has long exceeded most of the 2.0T models. On the drivetrain, it is matched by a six-speed manual transmission and the GR Four-wheel drive system, which can freely swap the front and rear torque distribution between 60/40, 50/50 and 30/70, providing a different driving experience.
At last:
The new car is currently only released overseas official map, as for when to go public, it is still unknown, and for domestic consumers, due to its high price, so the possibility of GR Corolla importing domestic is relatively small.
