In fact, when it comes to small steel cannons, everyone may think of civilian small steel cannons, such as Volkswagen Golf R, Fox RS and so on. They may have been the first car of these generations of young people. It is also the best performance choice for many consumers to give themselves in the limited funds. At the 2022 New York Auto Show, Toyota also released a performance small steel cannon, which is the GR Corolla. It is not difficult to see that Toyota is also entering this market. Everyone may also be shocked that the Corolla is originally a family car series. I don't know what surprises GR Corolla has for consumers this time.
The design of the new car is more subversive of tradition. The front face adopts a large blackened design, the chrome trim strips on both sides of the Toyota logo and the large size of the net are blackened, plus the large area of the grille, the overall look is very cool. The visual effect is more exaggerated. This is not only for the sake of good looks, but also to dissipate heat for the 1.6T engine in the cabin.
In the body part, gr corolla's waist line is all blackened design, so it visually creates a special sense of refraction of light and shadow, which is very subtle. Similarly, the blackening treatment was applied to the window trim and the stiff wheels. The whole body is full of sportiness.
The rear part of the car is the most eye-catching place of the vehicle, and the three exhaust pipes arranged on the left, middle and right are three exhaust tail throats, which look very sharp and domineering overall.
Its interior is the familiar Corolla design language, but the details have been improved, and the steering wheel has been replaced by a GR-style sports steering wheel. The dashboard was also upgraded to an LCD dashboard. Although it looks unremarkable, there is a sense of understated pragmatism.
Power-wise. The GR Corolla is powered by a 1.6T three-cylinder engine with a maximum power of 300 hp and a maximum torque of 370 Nm, matching the engine with a 6-speed manual transmission. As for whether this car will be introduced into China, we can also look forward to it. If introduced domestically, would you be willing to pay for it?
