On paper, the 2023 Toyota GR Corolla is one of those cars every enthusiast wants. In person, the GR Corolla is a car your nextdoor neighbor wishes they had. From its 300 hp lớn its torque-splitting all-wheel-drive system và its great exhaust sound, Toyota finally created something to compete against cars like the Honda Civic Type R and Volkswagen Golf R. "A respectable little hot hatch," technical director Frank Markus said after running it around Hyundai"s California Proving Ground.

With its 1.6-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine, the GR Corolla is peppy, punchy, and potent, & it"s an engaging oto to drive. "This Corolla feels chuckable, light, & eager to vì silly things," deputy editor Alexander Stoklosa said, "though I wish it were a better dance partner when it comes lớn oversteer." Features editor Christian Seabaugh disagreed, calling the GR "controllably tail-happy" after a hard drive. Either way, although the GR Corolla shares its TNGA platform with lesser versions, it gets an exclusive all-wheel-drive thiết đặt that can send up to 70 percent of torque to lớn the rear wheels in pursuit of delivering more thrills.
But not everything is all Goldilocks for the GR Corolla. As pleased as we are with Toyota"s new hatchback, it"s not perfect. Despite the six-speed manual transmission"s short throws, some judges complained about its gear spacing & overall smoothness. Furthermore, some also disliked the car"s ride quality, citing dampers that fail khổng lồ sufficiently cushion things when going over the proving ground"s simulated road imperfections và broken pavement.

Although its value is generally strong for a $37,000 car, we were disappointed with our thử nghiệm car"s plain interior at this price point. The lack of an armrest, the presence of hard plastics in the front và rear, and the all-black theme kept the GR Corolla from winning our hearts. "It"s a sad oto to look at & sit in," said guest judge Chris Theodore, who described the exterior thiết kế as "a look only a mother could love." Furthermore, the price rises quickly while its content doesn"t, undercutting value beyond the base price.
The GR Corolla earned high marks for its performance of intended function, safety, và engineering excellence, but it falls short when considered against the rest of our Of The Year criteria. The GR isn"t especially easy to lớn distinguish from other Corollas at a distance, its interior lacks the practicality & comfort of others in the lineup, và it"s by far the least efficient Corolla you can buy today.
Overall, the 2023 Toyota GR Corolla is a fun hot hatch, great for those who love the thrill of performance but don"t have a lot of money lớn spend. "It"s wild và a little flawed, but the GR Corolla is immediately worth considering for anyone who loves driving," director of editorial operations Mike Floyd said. He"s right, but within the context of our oto of the Year evaluations, it"s a bit too narrowly focused & compromised to lớn hit the marks necessary for victory.
