New Toyota GR Corolla Review Best Hot Hatch? You Decide
The new Toyota GR Corolla is the latest in a line of hot hatches. The difference is that now the automaker is teamed with its racing division, Gazoo Racing, to make these rides faster, cooler and more fun.
So what’s the performance, style, size, technology on this Toyota hot hatch in this model year? Here’s what you should know.
Performance
How hot is this hot hatch? Well, Gazoo Racing has given the new GR Corolla a high revving 1.6-liter 3 cylinder turbo engine. This produces a whopping 300 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque.
That’s literally 100 horses per cylinder. You won’t find that anywhere else but on the new Toyota GR Corolla for sale this year.
Engineers utilized a special triple exhaust. This system prevents pressure build-up, allow for maximum power whenever it’s needed, even if you are really pushing the Corolla GR.
You can run the 0 to 60 mph sprint in these hot hatches in just about 5 seconds. That’s truly amazing for this vehicles which are built like the practical Corolla hatchback for which they are named.
New Toyota GR Corolla drivers have a dial to adjust the special GR-Four All-Wheel Drive system. Front-wheel drive is emphasized at 60:40. Sporty rear wheel drive is emphasized 70:30, which gives this hatchback the feeling of a high-class European luxury sport sedan. For grip, the power can be split 50:50.
Utility
To help this practical car turn into a true sports car, there had to be some changes to the body. Engineers utilized a center brace and three underfloor braces to add rigidity. To make sure it was super-rigid, they also added 108 extra inches of structural adhesive.
Aerodynamics required more changes on the Corolla GR for sale. Thus there are aero panels, side air curtains, and air ducts to move air from front to back naturally. To create downforce, there are rear diffusers. To do even more, some models offer a rear sport spoiler, fender ducts, and hood vents.
There are, at least, two bonuses to choosing this hot hatch among the other new hot hatches in the market. First, Toyota provides up to two years of complimentary schedule maintenance. Second, and much more exciting, a new GR Corolla for sale comes with a year-long membership in the National Auto Sport Association, a discount on NASA events, and a 1-day High Performance Driving Event.

Safety
Stepping up from the regular Corolla, the GR hatchback needed more safety measures. Engineers added enormous 14x1.1-inch ventilated, slotted rotors. They placed opposed, fixed-caliper disc brakes and supplied 4-piston aluminum calipers, just for good measure.
Higher Corolla GR trims add brake cooling ducts, helping to fight brake fade. These also have more parking assistance, such as the front and rear sensors.
Toyota driver assistance is all on board, and that’s a huge value from the start. It’s a long list, starting with standard forward collision warnings, the related autobrake, and the ability to apply similar technology to dangers from/to pedestrians, motorcycles, and bicycle. The newest Toyota tech is extending the ability to see people or bicyclists in low light.
When you aren’t testing this hot hatch to see what it will do, you can utilize Dynamic Radar Cruise Control. This adaptive system changes the speed to match the traffic flow and returns to your set speed whenever conditions allow.
A lane departure warning and a blind spot monitor help to keep you alert to side traffic dangers. A lane keeping assist may help correct steering to ensure a safer trajectory. Additional driver aids include automatic high beams, road sign assist, and a rear cross traffic assist.
