Toyota Motor Philippines has officially added a new headturner to its Gazoo Racing (GR) Performance lineup—and it’s one many driving enthusiasts have been waiting for.
The all-new Toyota GR Corolla now joins the ranks of the GR Supra, GR Yaris, and GR 86, bringing motorsports-inspired performance into a more practical, everyday package.
With roots in Formula D, the 24 Hours of Fuji, and the British Touring Car Championship, the GR Corolla brings real racing DNA to the streets. Its rally-bred engineering ensures sharp handling and steady control, from track days to long highway drives.
This five-seater hot hatch is built to adapt, thanks to multiple drive modes—Normal, Eco, Sport, Gravel, and Track—allowing drivers to fine-tune the experience depending on the road or mood.
Its five-door design makes daily use easy, while the roomy second row ensures passengers stay comfortable, even on spirited weekend drives.
On the outside, the GR Corolla looks every bit as aggressive as it feels. It features an aerodynamic silhouette, 18-inch aluminum wheels, Bi-LED headlights, LED daytime running lights, a rear spoiler, and a distinctive triple exhaust, complemented by functional air vents and a performance-focused diffuser.
Under the hood is a 1.6-liter turbocharged G16E-GTS three-cylinder engine producing 296hp and 400Nm of torque, paired with an all-wheel-drive system for maximum grip and control.
Inside, drivers are greeted by a cockpit-style cabin with a 12.3-inch digital display, head-up display, sporty seats, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Safety is also well covered, with Toyota Safety Sense offering features like Pre-Collision System, Lane Tracing Assist, and cruise control options depending on the variant.
The GR Corolla is available in two variants: the 8-speed automatic starting at P3,955,000 and the 6-speed manual starting at P3,811,000, offered in Emotional Red, Precious Metal, Black, and Super White.
