The 2023 Toyota GR Corolla is a brand-new hot hatch that stakes its claim as the rowdiest on the road.

The mad scientists at work in Toyota’s Gazoo Racing (GAH-ZOO) department are at it again, this time taking the typically tame Toyota Corolla and igniting it with a 1.6-litre turbocharged three-cylinder engine, standard all-wheel drive, and enough bulging bodywork to make a Volkswagen Golf R blush.

The 2023 Toyota GR Corolla is an all-new look for the Corolla. The car most often considered for boring, A-to-B commutes has been utterly transformed, signaling to the world that the marketplace for sizzling hot hatchbacks is still alive and well for enthusiasts to enjoy.
