Toyota has finally announced all the details for the GR Corolla, from trim levels and equipment to pricing to available packages. The base GR Corolla actually comes with an AWD system that can send up to 70 percent of its power to the rear wheels. It also happens to be offered with three different trim levels, with prices ranging from US$ 35,900 to US$ 49,900. The base Core model, which costs US$ 35,900 before a Dealer Processing and Handling fee of US$ 1,095, comes with 300 Hp and 372 Nm of torque and is the only GR Corolla in the lineup available with packages. The most expensive of them is the Performance pack (US$ 1,180) which adds Torsen limited-slip differentials both front and rear, 14-inch ventilated and slotted front brake rotors, four-piston red-painted front calipers, and two-piston red-painted calipers out back.
On top of that, GR Corolla Core buyers can
add the Technology package (US$ 770) which includes a wireless smartphone charger,
a Premium JBL sound system, and integrated navigation. Finally, a Cold Weather
package (US$ 500) adds heated seats and a heated steering wheel to the hot hatch.
The Core is available in Ice Cap, Black, and, for a US$425 up charge, Supersonic
Red colors and will arrive on dealer lots in November of 2022. Those who want
more can opt for the GR Corolla Circuit Edition which is priced at US$ 42,900.
It’s only going to be around for the 2023 year model and it adds all of the
available packages from the Core model as standard along with a real carbon
fiber roof, vented bulge hood, faux leather-trimmed sport seats, a
leather-wrapped shift knob, and a rear lip spoiler. The Circuit Edition won’t
be available until the Spring of 2023.
The top-of-the-line Morizo Edition starts
at US$ 49,900 and might be the most motorsport-friendly hot hatch in the market
when it comes out. It has the same horsepower as the Core and Circuit but bumps
torque to 399 Nm. In addition, it comes with Michelin Cup 2
tires and shaves off about 100 pounds worth of total weight. It does that in
part by completely deleting the rear seats. While we can’t tell you anything
about the driving experience just yet it’s safe to say that we expect all 200
of these rare GR Corolla editions to go quickly when they arrive on dealer lots
sometime in the Spring of 2023.
