2023 Toyota GR Corolla launched in Malaysia – AWD 6MT hot hatch; 1.6T 3-cyl, 300 PS, 370 Nm; RM355k

Perhaps the most exciting of the five GR-branded cars that UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) is launching today is the Toyota GR Corolla. Three of the cars are variants of existing model and one is a new generation (GR86), but the GR Corolla is a new product, a hot hatch wearing a badge that not many will think of when they think performance – Corolla.

But this mean-looking five-door C-segment hatchback has plenty of performance and is priced at RM355,000. Under that bulging vented hood is a 1.6 litre turbocharged engine with 300 PS and 370 Nm of torque made between 3,000 and 5,550 rpm. 0-100 km/h is done in 5.3 seconds and top speed is 230 km/h.

It’s the same G16E-GTS three-pot found in the smaller GR Yaris – already the most powerful three-cylinder in production – but here, it makes 39 PS and 10 Nm more than our European-spec GR Yaris, “to provide equally high levels of performance with the larger model”. The engine features D-4S port and direct injection, as well as a single-scroll turbo integrated with the exhaust manifold.

Like the GR Yaris, the hottest of Corollas is also equipped with a six-speed manual transmission (with a rev-matching function) and the GR-Four all-wheel-drive system. The driver can choose from three drive modes and three AWD modes. A Torsen limited-slip differential on the front and rear axles control drive to the 18-inch black Enkei multi-spoke wheels, which are wrapped with 235/40 Yokohama Advan Apex tyres.

The GR Corolla – which by the way is not a limited production model like the GR Yaris – is based on the Corolla five-door hatchback, which in stock form is already more sporty than our market’s sedan. Now it looks like a beast, thanks to widened fender flares (track widened by 60 mm in front and 85 mm at the back), a bare carbon fibre roof, functional bonnet vents and that super wide mouth of a grille.

At the back, there’s a big spoiler and a unique triple exhaust layout. Unlike the Civic Type R’s three pipes in the middle, Toyota employs two round ones on the sides plus one central oval tip. By the way, the GR Corolla weighs nearly 200 kg more than the GR Yaris at 1,475 kg, due to the larger body and the three-door car’s more extreme dieting – that’s why more power is needed.

Inside, some of the good stuff like the seats and steering wheel are familiar from the GR Yaris. But while the smaller hatch gets traditional analogue dials, the Corolla presents info via a 12.3-inch screen supplemented by a head-up display. The digital meter has a GR start-up animation, and there are also GR logos on the steering and seats.

GR bits done, we move on to the Corolla part. There’s a 9.0-inch touchscreen head unit with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, dual-zone climate control, a wireless charger and keyless entry and start are all standard. Seven airbags and the full Toyota Safety Sense suite of driver assist tech – using a monocular camera and radar – are included. Local kit fitted by UMWT include a telematics system (car tracker), dashcam and solar/security film.

There are four colours – Precious Metal (grey), Super White, Emotional Red and Black. Yes, just Black. Once again, the CBU Japan Toyota GR Corolla is priced at RM355,000 on the road before insurance. So, this or the FL5 Civic Type R?

        FL5 CTR missed out variable AWD grip and less fun from its length too.
        Just a cheaper option to Supra Z4

      Actually, this is a racing car with number plates (like i.e. the Porsche 911 GT3 RS).
      If you care about touchscreens so much, then this car is not for you.

        Hahaha, those 340i, 135i also Nar said they are racing car. At just 5.3sec in Toyota standard mean real world around 6 sec is far from racing car. The family car 330i manage 5.8 sec too. 0.5 sec behind is really not far you know. Racing car is M2 and GT3 you r right and For Toyota is Supra. This is sporty hatchback just like golf R.

      you will commit harakiri if you’ve seen the infotainment units on all Perodua cars. Sometimes i wonder why P2 even bother putting it into their car? almost all owners I know, thats the first bloody thing they remove once they collect their cars.

    I’m so disappointed with UMWT. Why they give us their own made touchscreen on GR cars for our local market. We want OEM touchscreen products. Don’t even need to bother retrofit your own stuffs on these mighty GR cars! It doesn’t suit them!

      It’s a kind of advertisement to give the brand a “sporty” touch. I doubt they make lots of money with that models.

      Pity those B40s, now & hereafter also failed.

    this car is the spiritual successor the Impreza/Evo. I think this car would give serious fight to the Impreza WRX that’s recently launched here.

    at this price, just get a bmw and look classy. it’s comfortable, luxury, and german made. Engine wise it’s powerful enough for normal road. not as fast = safer too.

        Although both GR Yaris is good in handling and also performance…

        You already driven M340i and Porsche 911 GT3?

        Both M340 also good in performance, cornering and handling, same can be said on Porsche 911 GT3

        It’s based on a rally car. It’s noisy, hard and thirsty. Btw: The GT3 will reach the Yaris top speed in third gear already…

        By your logic, go get bugatti then big talker. If everyone want M3 there wont be a 340i dude. You are not cleverer than the whole BMW team or the large buyer market. What car you drivin? Have you even ever press the 340i pedal? Go to showroom test one pls.

    Wow! Awesome car! But how come there are cup holders in between driver & hand brake? This seems off. The hand brake is too far. Position hand brake tu untuk kereta steering wheel sebelah kiri. malas nak tukar ke apa..

    I think Toyota forgot to switch the handbrake on the GR corolla, still at left side like US model. Look at GR 86, it is on the right side while the US’s GR 86 is on the left side. Is the handbrake awkwardly positioned in our GR corolla Danny, since you drove it? Tx

    3cyc engine very unstable thats why BMW throw it away. This is 340i price territory, I can have a BMw 340i at 380 plus hp and 500Nm faster and prestige and more comfort and peactical than this. And BMw is chick magnet too. Haha TOyota should price this below 300k.
