An ever-evolving icon with a pedigree of practicality and power, the GR Corolla is an everyday beast of play.
Australia’s iconic GR series continues to evolve. A dynamic hot hatch with a G16E-GTS 3-cylinder engine, producing 221kW of power and 400Nm of torque.
A GR-FOUR bred with more, with a 1.6L Turbo all-wheel-drive in intelligent 6-speed manual or adaptable 8-speed DirectShift automatic transmission.
This is the spirit of Corolla, untamed.
PERFORMANCE
Hatchback of champions

Powerfully efficient engine
GR Corolla is fitted with a firebreathing 3-cylinder engine helping to deliver 221kW of power. The addition of a functional 3-piece muffler assists in the reduction of backpressure and an audible amount of grunt.
Rigid and raceable
Circuit-tuned suspension features MacPherson struts in front and trailing double-wishbones at rear. The GR Corolla’s stance is approximately 60mm wider than your average Corolla Hatch, while chassis rigidity has been increased to enhance both your corner stability and grip.
Tunes to your environment
Put power to the ground with the flick of a button. The rally-derived GR-FOUR all-wheel drive system lets you distribute front and rear output to 60/40 for everyday driving, 50/50 for balanced track precision or 30/70 for rear-wheel driving with a playful amount of oversteer.
Instinctively smooth
Handle the highway with finesse when you pre-select your speed using High-Speed Adaptive Cruise Control. Your GR Corolla will automatically adjust speed with the traffic in front.
Stop it like its hot
Dig into corners like a pro. Anti-fade, ventilated disc brakes with ultra-grippy monoblock calipers in ‘GR red’ alumite, paired with 18” alloy wheels. 235mm Yokohama ADVAN®[C11] performance tyres complete the track-ready drivetrain.
Outstanding grip
Hug the road with a superhuman grip and attack your corner exit with just the right amount of drive torque, distributed by ultra-responsive, dual Torsen®[C22] limited-slip differentials at front and rear.
DESIGN
Corolla untamed
The faithful Corolla gets a fiendish facelift to reflect the track animal lurking within.
Harness the elements
Optimised front bumper and grille forms utilise incoming air for a boost in engine cooling, aerodynamic performance, and steering response.
Dressed to express
GR Corolla’s racing pedigree is proudly on show. Functional aerodynamics, broad stance and a unique front grille, available in three shades of monochrome or feverish red to stand out in a crowd.
Practical alter-ego
With its 5-door design, 213L* of cargo space, smart entry and smart start, Connected technology and advanced safety features, GR Corolla is designed to adapt to your daily routine with ease.

TECHNOLOGY AND INTERIORS
Redefine your ‘comfort zone’
Inside the belly of the beast, you’ll find a high degree of comfort for driver and passengers alike. Relax into hip-hugging, heated front seats, and put pedal to the metal with a sporty aluminium brake and accelerator.
All images indicative only.
Back in black
GR Corolla’s interior features a black palette at eye level to enhance driver focus. Leather accents, suede detailing, black and silver stitching and GR badging throughout.
Hell-bent for leather accents
Nothing says ‘gran turismo’ like a quality finish. In GR Corolla, your parking brake lever, shift knob and steering wheel get leather accents for a premium motorsport feel.
Unique gauge cluster
Opening to a dynamic GAZOO Racing startup animation, the 12.3” head-up display puts your speed and RPM front and centre. Toggle between a horizontal, circuit-inspired tachometer or a 1-dial layout, much like a race car.
Trail-blazing tech
8” colour touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay®[C12] and wired Android Auto™[C13]. Turn up the tunes with an 8-speaker JBL®[C8] audio system and an easy-access touch panel for quick control.
SAFETY
Built with safety in mind
Equipped with the latest Toyota Safety Sense[S1], GR Corolla is a performance car with the assurance that comes with cutting-edge safety technology.
More visibility
Reverse Camera and Blind Spot Monitor gives you more of the full picture, while the Pre-Collision Safety System is designed to detect pedestrians, warn you of road risks and apply additional brake force if the system determines it necessary[S1].
Help when you need it
Access SOS Emergency Call[CS2] any time via a button in the overhead console. In the event you cannot access the button, Automatic Collision Notification (ACN)[CS3] can transmit on-board information such as your location to emergency responders[CS14].
Smarter is safer
Enjoy more peace of mind on the highway. Lane Departure Alert can notify you if vehicle drifting is detected, while Dynamic Radar Cruise Control is designed to automatically maintain a safe distance between you and the vehicle in front[S1].
