About the Toyota GR Corolla

The Toyota GR Corolla is a high-performance all-wheel drive hatchback available in South Africa in Core and Circuit specification levels, all powered by a 1.6-litre three-cylinder turbocharged engine producing 224kW through GR-Four all-wheel drive, making it one of the most technically sophisticated performance hatchbacks available in the local market. Developed by Toyota Gazoo Racing using technology derived from rally competition, the GR Corolla competes with the Volkswagen Golf R and Honda Civic Type R in the hot hatchback segment while offering a more analogue, rally-inspired driving character than most of its rivals. The Circuit edition adds additional performance-focused specification over the Core, with the automatic option on the Circuit broadening the model's appeal to buyers who want GR performance without a manual gearbox.

Who is the GR Corolla best for?

  • Performance hatchback buyers who want Toyota Gazoo Racing engineering and GR-Four all-wheel drive in an everyday car
  • Buyers comparing the GR Corolla against the Volkswagen Golf R and Honda Civic Type R on driving character and exclusivity
  • Enthusiast buyers who want the Core manual as a focused, rally-inspired performance hatchback at a competitive price
  • Buyers who want the Circuit automatic as a more comfortable daily-usable GR performance hatchback
