At Longo Toyota of Prosper, our helpful team honors its commitment to a world-class environment and guest experience, a legacy that has stayed the same since our humble beginnings in 1967. We honor the Longo name by going the extra mile to ensure every customer is welcomed properly. Our service team is second to none, and we make buying or leasing our entire lineup of cars, trucks, and SUVs a breeze. more While we have an extensive lineup of cars, trucks, and SUVs, one of the most exciting vehicles to hit the lot in recent years is the brand new 2023 Toyota GR Corolla. This sporty hatchback was developed by Gazoo Racing, Toyota's performance division that oversees all of Toyota Motorsports and championship rally car production. The 2023 Toyota GR Corolla is the first car released in the U.S. to have been developed by Gazoo Racing and earns its stripes as a rally-racer-inspired sports car. The GR Corolla comes in three unique models: Core, Circuit Edition, and the extremely limited Morizo Edition, designed exclusively for racing. View New Toyota Corollas Standout Design 2023 Toyota GR Corolla Unlike its sedan and hybrid counterparts, the 2023 Toyota GR Corolla only comes in a hatchback model. Flared front and rear fenders give it a wider, edgier look while allowing for better handling on the road. Its functional matrix front grille with side air ducts also help to maintain stability and improve airflow. One of the most impressive aspects of the GR Corolla appears when you look at the rear styling. The first thing that jumps out is the triple exhaust, which fits perfectly underneath the high-mounted rear spoiler. The interior continues the aggressive styling and features GR stitched headrests, aluminum sport pedals, and optional upgrades, including Brin Naub and synthetic leather-trimmed sport or bucket seats. Unmatched Performance The GR Corolla features 300 horsepower in its turbocharged 1.6-liter, three-cylinder engine. With the twist of a dial, its unique GR-Four system allows the driver to choose between different power-distribution models, including 60:40, 30:70, or 50:50 dispersion between its front and rear wheelbases. This equates to a one-of-a-kind grip and handling that Car and Driver describes as "…tenacious, and on a twisty road, the GR Corolla rewards its driver with a perfect blend of surefootedness and civility." Additional performance specs include a top track speed of 143 mph, accelerating from zero to 60 mph in less than five seconds. You'll get 273 lb-ft of torque in the Core and Circuit Editions, while the Morizo Edition delivers 295 lb-ft of torque. High-performance opposed fixed-caliper brakes with ventilated and slotted brake rotors mean you can dig into turns. At the same time, the GR circuit-tuned suspension system maximizes grip and performance. Optional Packages Optional packages are only available for the Core model. There are three packages to choose from, as follows: Performance: Front and rear Torsen, limited-slip differentials, red-painted brake calipers, and GR logo. Technology: JBL Premium Audio and Qi-compatible wireless smartphone charging. Cold Weather: Heated front seats and a heated steering wheel. Fuel Economy The high-performance GR Corolla delivers optimal fuel economy when you factor in its performance engine and design. The small 1.6-liter, three-cylinder engine delivers an EPA highway rating of about 30 mpg. Technology A 12.3-inch digital multi-information display comes standard in all models, and the GR-animated startup sets the tone as you settle into your ride. Digital gauges for power settings and turbo pressure are as visually stunning as they are easy to understand. The Core and Circuit Editions both feature an 8-inch Toyota audio multimedia display with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Core Edition includes a six-speaker sound system, while the Circuit Edition upgrades that to an eight-speaker JBL Premium Audio system with an amplifier. Optional connected services such as Drive Connect, Remote Connect (which allows drivers to remotely interact with their vehicle through the Toyota app), Service Connect, and Wi-Fi Connect  are also available. Safety Features With all that performance at your fingertips, Toyota makes sure that safety is a priority when it comes to the 2023 GR Corolla. All models come standard with Toyota Safety Sense™ 3.0. This technology has a wide array of features, including a pre-collision system with pedestrian detection, lane-departure warning with steering assist, and much more. Additional safety features include automatic high beams, lane tracing assist, blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert, and a multitude of monitoring systems that can track your car's performance and alert you when something needs to be checked out.

We're looking forward to introducing the 2023 Prius to Dallas-area drivers at Longo Toyota. With anticipated adjustments for a more streamlined look and feel, the newest model of the iconic hybrid promises to continue the Prius' past performance while dispelling any remaining accusations of boxiness or frailty. It will stand up to what you throw at it. To learn more, you can browse our current inventory or read on for our guide to what you can expect from the new model. more Overview 2023 Toyota Prius From the information currently available, we expect the 2023 Prius to continue Toyota's past traditions of reliability, efficiency, and comfort. However, the new model incorporates added style and convenience that make it well worth considering. In particular, the continued Nightshade Edition offers sports-car style along with penny-pinching fuel efficiency and classic maneuverability. Next year's model is expected to start from approximately $26,000 MSRP. Additional upgrades are fairly affordable and add considerable comfort and style. New models are expected for sale early in 2023 with delivery later next year. Trim Levels The new 2023 Prius is expected to have a more aggressive sporty style while retaining the essential shape and nature of past family-friendly cars. Slim horizontal headlamps are possible, along with sharp, narrow designs for the front grille. The car body will be narrow and streamlined in a smooth curved shape. Wide windshields and rear windows will provide excellent visibility for drivers. While Toyota has not yet fully released 2023 option details, we expect five options: the L Eco, LE, XLE, Nightshade Edition, and Limited. All options will be a coupe-style vehicle and include 15-inch wheels, heated mirrors for cold or foggy mornings, automatic heat and air conditioning, keyless entry, and automatic headlights. Additional options include all-wheel drive, a rear window wiper and cargo cover. The XLE model is particularly notable for the range of luxury features you can access, including 17-inch wheels, keyless entry, automatic rain-sensing wipers, and more. Top-of-the-line additional upgrades include adaptive headlights that follow your path, not to mention a sunroof. The Nightshade Edition is especially noteworthy for its deep black color inside and outside, with silvery accents and a bold, menacing style. It also offers 17-inch five-spoke alloy wheels and a shark-fin antenna, both also in deep black. An optional all-wheel-drive version offers 15-inch wheels, black lug nuts, and a similar package. Driving and Handling The 2023 model year is expected to retain the Prius' famously quiet and efficient drive while adding a touch of sports-style flair. With a 1.8L, four-cylinder engine and hybrid powertrain, new models will exceed 50 mpg and may reach 60, with 121 horsepower. Toyota will retain the rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack for next year's version, and the car will operate on a TNGA-C modular platform. The 2023 model will stay the reliable family vehicle that you can drive to work, take on vacation, and cover miles and miles of highway without ever tiring. However, it will be redesigned for a more streamlined look and feel. The new sport-oriented detail adjustment should keep drag below 0.24 Cd in the new model, improving fuel efficiency, as well as looks and style. Interior While we're wait for Toyota to confirm the details, we expect the base model Prius to feature a comfortable interior with gray and black fabric seats or a possible upgrade with black SofTex simulated leather. The driver's seat comes with adjustable height, and the dashboard is easily navigable with compact controls and a 7-inch vertical touch screen. This model includes a six-speaker audio system compatible with Apple CarPlay, Amazon Alexa, and Android Auto systems. Upgrades include a 10-speaker system, heated front seats, power adjustment on the driver's seat, a heated, SofTex-wrapped wheel, a wireless charging pad for your phone, a navigation system, and an 11-inch touch screen. Safety Features As you might expect, Toyota focuses heavily on safety in this model, and the entire Prius lineup boasts an extensive array of safety features. All trim levels have adaptive cruise control, which continually adjusts your speed to maintain a safe distance between you and the car in front. They also feature lane departure warning, road sign display, automatic high-beam headlights, blind-spot monitoring and warning, rear cross-traffic alert that lets you know if a vehicle is moving into your path as you back up, and automatic emergency braking. Possible upgrades include parking sensors, adaptive headlights, and a head-up display that alerts you to important information or hazards. Best of all, some models offer automatic parallel parking. If you're tired of making multiple attempts to fit into the same narrow space, the Prius can do it for you. This can be a great option for crowded office parks or driving into the city when it's too much trouble to relearn the skill you last used on your driver's test. Texas Driving With its famous fuel efficiency and robust handling, the Prius is well suited for the long open roads of Texas, and it's equally well adapted for dense suburban commutes. You might well find yourself driving the Prius to work every day without filling it up for weeks. Alternatively, should you take a road trip down to the beach, or even a great adventure into the desert, the Prius can travel the highways without constant stops and cross great lengths of open road without running low on gas. The 2023 model is especially well adapted for summer driving, when its fuel economy is even better, and its climate control will keep you cool on long days. As you navigate your daily commute or special trip, the 2023 Prius remains a reliable, family-friendly yet hyper-efficient vehicle that will take you from point A to point B safely, dependably, and cheaply. If you’re ready to upgrade to a reliable new vehicle in the Prius family, Longo Toyota offers various options at competitive prices with excellent service. You can also contact us to shop and reserve new vehicles as they’re released. Whether you’re looking for a new car for your commute, something for a growing family, or even a personal car with lots of efficiency and a bit of flair, the 2023 Prius can meet your expectations and then some. For additional information, we're always happy to talk further — just reach out to us online, over the phone, or come into the dealership.
