Power and Performance of the 2024 Toyota GR Corolla

Every 2024 GR Corolla gets the potent G16E-GTS 1.6-liter three-cylinder turbocharged engine that debuted for the GR Yaris. Here, it makes 300 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. It comes with a six-speed intelligent manual transmission. The gearbox also features rev matching to blip the throttle when downshifting automatically. Moreover, this feature can be switched off, as experienced drivers may not need it.

The 2024 GR Corolla comes with Toyota’s GR-FOUR all-wheel drive system. The system can dynamically redistribute power to all four wheels. The driver can also select from three settings for power split. The default setting for daily driving uses a 60-40 front-rear split. Then, there’s a track setting with a 50-50 split for perfect handling. Finally, there’s a setting that offers a 30-70 front-rear split. This last setting enables the 2024 GR Corolla to be easily drifted, a feat that not many all-wheel drive cars can offer.

This is because of the car's GR circuit-tuned suspension. The system comprises MacPherson struts at the front and a multi-link system at the rear. These come with tuned coil springs, shock absorbers, and stabilizers.

High-performance ventilated and slotted disc brake rotors provide excellent braking power. The front brakes use four-piston calipers, while the rear brakes have two-piston units.
