Recently, Toyota released the official map of the GR Corolla and released it overseas. There are two versions of the new car, the Core version and the Circuit Edition version, which will be launched in North America by the end of this year, but the Circuit Edition version is expected to be next year. Our country should be out of luck, after all, not many people will buy it.
Core version of the GR Corolla shape is not too exaggerated, the body of the hatchback, the front face uses a large size of the grille, the interior can faintly see the water tank radiator, which shows that the car needs a large amount of air intake. The upper part of the front of the car is actually not much different from the ordinary Corolla, including the lights on both sides and the layout of the middle net.
Black ventilation vents at the front fenders can be seen on the sides of the body, and the layout of the four doors is unique in the current GR series. The upper part of the tail is still not much different from the ordinary Corolla, but the surrounding of the lower half has been greatly changed, using a lot of black material, and the exhaust port at the bottom is actually three out, one on the left, middle and right.
Compared to the Core version, the Circuit Edition version has a more aggressive design, with a similar layout at the front of the car, but with ventilation vents on the hood. The tail wing at the top of the rear is larger, using a carbon fiber roof. The rest don't really make much difference.
The part of the car can be seen to be left-hand drive layout, and the air conditioning control panel should show Fahrenheit, which is obviously the North American version of the model. The overall layout is very similar to the Corolla we used at home. However, a special steering wheel and GR logos have been added everywhere. And the shift lever for the manual transmission.
The engine used in the new car is the same as the one above the Yaris GR, both 1.6T three-cylinders, which can output up to 300 horsepower and 370N·m of torque, match the 6-speed manual transmission, and provide the GR-Four four-wheel drive system. The Circuit Edition edition will be equipped with a front and rear limited slip differential lock.
GO Car Jun Comment: The North American version of the model is the same as our domestic left-hand drive, so in theory, you only need to make some small changes to enter the country, but the beginning also said that the sales will not look good. At present, the GR models on sale and will be sold in China are GR SUPRA and GR 86, which are all playful, and if you want to take into account daily walking, commuting, and home, then GR Corolla is obviously a better choice.
