A few years ago, Toyota decided to re-enter the World Rally Championship and start winning titles again. A year later, they won the championship with the WRC Yaris. They made road versions of that car but we never got it here in North America. Instead, Toyota took the powertrain of that car, bumped up the power a bit and put it into the Corolla to make the GR Corolla. A rally car for the road, or a marketing tactic to generate more revenue for the company?
Like the GR Yaris, the GR Corolla 2023 is powered by a tiny 1.6L turbocharged 3-cylinder engine. But despite its size, it produces 300 hp & 273 lb-ft of torque (224 kW & 370 Nm). The car is relatively light too, by modern day standards, with a curb weight of 1,480 kg (3,263 lbs). This weight & power allows it to accelerate from a stop to 100 km/h in around 5 seconds.
Whether you choose the Core, Circuit, or Morizo (if you’re lucky enough), the 2023 Toyota GR Corolla is only available with a 6-speed manual transmission. This 6-speed feels “old school”. The shifter is a tad notchy when slotting it into the next gear but glides in afterwards. The clutch pedal provides a firm feel until the halfway point, then it goes light so that you know exactly where the bite point is.
Compared to the other GR vehicles in the Toyota lineup, the 2023 GR Corolla slots perfectly in between them. This Core trim starts at $45,490 CAD ($35,900 USD) for this 2023 model year. For 2024, it received a $1,000 price bump. The 2023 Corolla Circuit will cost you $53,990 CAD ($42,900 USD) with the 2024 GR Corolla Circuit being $2,600 more expensive. As for the Morizo, the only price I was able to find was $59,990 CAD ($49,900 USD) for the 2023 model year.
