The 2024 Toyota GR Corolla: a Rally Car Pulling Double Duty as a Daily Driver
You might not realize it, but vehicles bearing the Corolla moniker have been racing around the world for years. The 2024 Toyota GR Corolla shines a spotlight on the name’s racing history, and it does so in grand fashion.
Made to thrill you at the track while dutifully serving as a pleasant daily driver, the Toyota GR Corolla is a rally-inspired vehicle that’s based on the tamer Toyota Corolla Hatchback. To see how the Toyota GR Corolla takes things up a notch or two, visit Zeigler Toyota of Racine.
A Look at the Hatchback’s Powertrain
Motorists who contact our Mt. Pleasant, WI Toyota dealership to inquire about the Toyota GR Corolla typically ask us about the vehicle’s powertrain. A turbocharged 1.6-liter three-cylinder engine powers the hatchback. The engine produces 300 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque in most trims. Horsepower remains the same for the Morizo Edition model, but torque increases to 295 lb-ft.
An engaging six-speed manual transmission is standard as is all-wheel drive. The Toyota GR Corolla allows drivers to switch between power distribution modes. For everyday driving, you’ll run with the 60/40 front-to-rear split, but you’ll transition to the 30/70-split mode for some drifting fun. The 50/50-split mode provides maximum traction for racing.
Built with Safety in Mind
New Toyota cars are outfitted with safety top of mind even when they’re designed to tear things up at the track. To fulfill its role as a daily driver, the Toyota GR Corolla is equipped with the following advanced safety and driver-assistive features:
- A blind-spot monitor with a rear cross-traffic alert
- Adaptive cruise control
- Lane departure warning with lane-keeping assist
- Forward collision warning and intervention system
An Inventory of the Car’s Standard Features
As you probably guessed, the Toyota GR Corolla comes with a lot more amenities to go along with its laudable active safety equipment. A triple exhaust with brushed stainless-steel tips will be the first to catch your eyes and ears. High-performance brakes will impress you as you slow down after burning up the track.
Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ connectivity enable you to operate the car’s eight-inch infotainment touchscreen using your smartphone. An onboard Wi-Fi hotspot allows you to remain connected without a second thought. A leather-wrapped steering wheel will feel great in your capable hands.
