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.
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.
Standout Design
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.
