In the automotive industry, the Toyota brand is synonymous with reliability, durability, and value. In 2023, Toyota is introducing the GR Corolla hot hatch, a car designed to push the boundaries of performance and handling. The GR Corolla is the latest addition to Toyota's GR (Gazoo Racing) lineup, which includes the Supra, GR86, and GR Yaris.

The GR Corolla has a price tag of $40,000, making it a relatively affordable option for car enthusiasts looking for an adrenaline-pumping ride. This hot hatch boasts a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 257 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque, paired with a six-speed manual transmission.

The GR Corolla also features a front-wheel-drive system with a limited-slip differential, which allows for exceptional handling and traction. The car's suspension system has been tuned for maximum performance, with stiffer springs, upgraded dampers, and a lower ride height. The GR Corolla's brakes have also been upgraded to handle the car's increased speed and power.

To fully evaluate the performance of the GR Corolla, we conducted a technical deep dive and street review. During our technical deep dive, we analyzed the car's engine, transmission, suspension, brakes, and other key components. We examined how they work together to create a dynamic driving experience and deliver impressive performance.

In our street review, we put the GR Corolla to the test on real-world roads, evaluating its handling, acceleration, braking, and overall feel. We compared the car to other hot hatches in its class, including the Honda Civic Type R, Hyundai Elantra N, Volkswagen Golf R, and Subaru WRX STI.

We found the GR Corolla to be an outstanding hot hatch that delivers exceptional performance and handling. It's a car that is sure to impress enthusiasts who are looking for an affordable, fun-to-drive vehicle that's designed and built by Toyota. While there are other options to consider in the hot hatch segment, the GR Corolla stands out as an excellent choice for those seeking a thrilling driving experience.
